EUROPEAN MEMBER CARE CONSULTATION 2018
Mission workers are no strangers to change, stress and trauma – and Treasure in Jars of Clay – building resilience in the midst of turmoil seeks to answer the questions:
i) how do we prepare mission workers to be resilient in the midst of turmoil?
ii) how do we help wounded mission workers bounce back effectively?
Our plenary speakers will be Frauke Schaefer (co-editor of Trauma & Resilience – Effectively Supporting Those, Who Serve God), Annemie Grosshauser and Scott Shaum, and our devotions will once again be led by popular Christian speaker and prolific author Tony Horsfall.
In addition to the 3-night consultation, there will be a package of other associated events including:
- a three day security training workshop with experienced security adviser Phil Harper
- a special pre-conference for people new to member care
EMCC 2018 will take place 12-15 March 2018 in Málaga, Spain at the Casa Diocesana (the Roman Catholic diocesan retreat centre).
We regret that bookings are now closed. We are sorry that you will not be able to join us this time and hope you will book for EMCC in 2020.
The tenth European Member Care Consultation was a runaway success with many people telling us how much they appreciated the teaching, networking and devotions. You can read more about it on the EMCC10 page!
If you didn’t manage to join us, don’t miss out next time. We’ll be meeting in Torremolinos, Spain from 11th – 15th March 2018.
