Venezuela - Second Wednesday

I began the first session today dealing with the topic Debriefing, sharing the importance of opening up and sharing ones emotions and feelings about things that happened on the mission field.  At the end of the session, everyone wanted to open up and talk, but we had to move on to the next session.

 

Sam Paris presented the next session about Loneliness on the Mission Field and steps of how to deal with it.  His session was powerful and well received.

 

Sam's wife Lisa presented the next session on Dealing with Depression.  Her session was also powerful and well received.  The Paris' can only be here for two days but they have been a blessing.  Both of their topics were very timely.

 

After lunch, we did some more personal interviews, letting the missionaries talk.  Each debriefing session is taking about three hours per missionary family.  They are really opening up and sharing everything.  It is so healthy.

 

For the night session, I dealt with Burnout and we had another thirty minutes of powerful prayer and emotional healing.

 

I am absolutely amazed at how God has touched the missionaries.  Their burdens have been lifted and smiles and laughter have replaced the looks of gloom and depression they had when they arrived at the retreat.  It is so refreshing.  God is so good.
