Debriefing
Any cross-cultural experience compresses you. Whether or not you realize it or not, you will decompress this tension. It may be a gradual thing that finds it’s way into a few lunch meetings with friends or an emotional explosion at the next family vacation.
TBC Global Outreach now has caring and trained Christ-followers willing and able to come alongside you as you unpack your experience overseas. Debriefing is the fancy word for this shepherded decompression, and TBC debriefing is primarily focusing on questions and exercises that help you process.
This is not counseling and it is not confession. We would love to hear your story and give you space to unpack all the Lord has challenged and empowered you with… Will you please consider taking some time to share your story? Fill out this brief form as you prepare your stateside visit for debriefing and resources you will need while you are here.
