We continued the retreat discussing additional aspects of team life including boundaries, enjoyment of life & ministry, burnout and depression (for staff & for those they minister to). These topics sparked so much conversation that we could have continued on these topics for another week! Praise God that our plans are to extend this MCT Retreat into an annual occurrence so that we can cover some topics in greater detail next year.
One of things I’m grateful for has been the ability to simply spend time getting to know the staff. I’ve enjoyed walking in the afternoons with a few of the ladies, a visit out to the Indian village where one staff family has recently moved, and numerous conversations over coffee or guitar music. There is something special about being able to discuss life and ministry with people of similar experiences.
Below is a picture of some of us enjoying lunch together:
hey TJ! great pic! Can you email me this and others that you took while you were here? I’d really love to have them. Thanks!
