I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction of questionnaires to use with Missionaries and TCK's in a counselling/ministry situation.

We do have a number of Career Advisors serving in the US and overseas. In the US there are Career Advisors based in Dallas (TX), Charlotte (NC), Lancaster (PA) and NY but we are finding ourselves doing remote career counseling. We are open to helping other missions as time allows - they are on our priority list. The best way for connecting people to Career Guidance Services offered by Wycliffe/SIL is to contact me. I can be contacted by the email address that you used to send the email to me or by phone - 717-435-9517 (office) or 717-808-7095 (cell). Carl_Campbell(at)wycliffe.org I hope that this has answered your questions. If I did not answer it completely email me again and I will try again.Carl Campbell, Director of Career Guidance, Wycliffe USA

Bethel Retreat House is a place to get away to have time alone with God. It is a place to draw away from the activities, the pressures, and the responsibilities of life for a season and to spend quality time with the Lord on your own, for an extended quiet time with Him. Unless there is a guide retreat on a weekend, there is no schedule except for lunch and dinner.
You are given private space to be alone with the Lord. However, Staff are available to talk and pray with you if you so desire. Meet The Staff
Our vision at Bethel Retreat House is to see God’s servants leave us rested, refreshed and renewed in their love, intimacy and commitment to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

Missionary Care Foundation Course, (MCFC)
Dates: 5 September to 25 September 2010
Place: YWAM Lilongwe, Malawi
Description: In the course we explore the support systems that God intends for our missionaries and teams so that they remain healthy and resilient. We also help develop specific skills that leaders or member care workers can use to more effectively care for their staff. For example, they will be learning to do regular debriefing, exit interviews, debriefing of couples, coaching others in handling conflict, assessing stress, and coaching others in handling cross cultural stress. As a final outcome, we help attendees develop a specific plan for caring for the staff in their sphere of responsibility. This course is ideal for leaders of any level who want to strengthen the care of their missionaries, for those who are a part of a member care team, or for those who want to form a member care team for their location.

The course is registered for 3 credits as “Missionary Care Seminar” under the U of N (CHC526).
