Caring for Others’ annual Personal Growth Conference for Missionaries
31 October - 5 November, 2010
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
This is not your typical missionary conference. No big name speakers, just skilled facilitators helping missionaries reflect upon where God has taken us and where he wants us to go. All for the purpose of encouragement through spiritual, emotional, and relational growth.
The goal of the ‘Face to Face Course’ is to equip Christian workers to become more effective in their areas of service through gaining a closer intimacy with God and developing a deeper understanding of themselves and those they lead. Much of our lives, ministry and leadership strives to reflect Christ. Yet our attempts are frequently hampered by our insecurities and egos. We are in need of reformation and transformation from within!
