MK/TCK Retreat
July 28th - August 3rd
YOU'RE INVITED...
​
Growing up on the field carries with it many unique challenges and opportunities. The lives of MKs and TCKs are often filled with transition, and the feeling of floating between cultures can sometimes cause feelings of loneliness and isolation. Questions surrounding identity become particularly challenging and painful, and with so much constant change there is little time or space made to sit with and process all you have experienced.
​
I know, because I am an MK myself. In my late teen years, as I graduated high school and entered college, I found that what I desperately needed was not someone telling me who I am or what I was experiencing, but a place to grieve, to forgive, to process with other people who shared parts of my story, and most of all – to encounter God and be reminded that He loves me no matter what I do or don’t do.
​
That is why we created this retreat – to provide a space for you to both share your story and encounter Jesus in all of the places of pain and confusion, of joy, and to be grounded in the reality of your identity as you journey into new and exciting places and seasons.
