Why are retreats only for North American women?
Why only North American Women?
As you may be aware, the mission of Thrive is intentionally focused on providing support and encouragement for women sent out as cross-cultural workers from the US and Canada.
While women commissioned from other sending nations have similar needs, we believe they are best met through Member Care providers from their own culture. Research shows that soul-care is most effective when experienced in one’s heart language. Thrive does not have the cultural expertise to meet their deepest needs with excellence.
However, we are seeking ways to inspire and equip leaders from other cultures to provide care for women sent out from their own nation in a way that will most effectively meet their needs.
We encourage women from other sending nations to contact the Home Office of their sending organization as well as the Global Member Care Network (GMCN) to access culturally effective resources in their region.
Thank you for answering the call to bring the Gospel to all nations!
