Crisis Response Training is a five day workshop for global workers who want to help those who have been impacted by trauma with a special emphasis on caring for missionaries. Peer crisis responders are trained to assess need, provide stabilization, reduce distress, and facilitate access to additional support. Peer crisis responders are also trained to provide crisis debriefings as one aspect of a broader spectrum of crisis responses. Peer crisis responders learn the limits of their competence and how to make referrals to specialists, as needed. This workshop is designed for Christian believers who are working in a global context and therefore is Christ-centered.

The retreat March 14-16, starts at 8:00 p.m. Friday evening and ends with lunch on Sunday. The retreat provides a safe space for self-reflection, intentional processing, community formation, connection make, and spiritual and emotional growth and healing. The schedule includes blocks of free time for hanging out and enjoying the camp's recreational activities. This retreat is open to any Adult TCK over 18, and brings together Adult TCKs from all over as well as TCK Caregivers who have spend decades working with Adult Third Culture Kids. Please consider joining us.

Wake 2025 is a 7-day/6-night spiritual journey experience in the context of outdoor adventure in the boundary waters canoe area of Minnesota, specifically designed by Barnabas International staff for men working in cross-cultural contexts.

Each day will provide space to process both in silence and solitude and together in a community of men with similar experiences, all in the context of spectacular outdoor scenery.
