Upcoming Retreats & Conferences

Take a week to step away from ministry and process your experiences before God, trained debriefers, and a group of peers who understand your journey. Interactive and contemplative, this retreat offers a safe, quiet space to unpack your story.

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.

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. Traveling side-by-side with this group of men you will complete a physically challenging journey while being guided through a process of paying attention to your inner journey with God. 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.
