Wandering Well: Navigating Cross-Cultural Transition

Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2027

Time: 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm Singapore Time (Online Zoom)

Ever wonder what to expect during your first days on the field? Moving across cultures brings a wave of unique challenges, but you don't have to navigate them blindly.

Uncover the predictable phases of culture shock and the emotional, psychological, and behavioural stages experienced across the critical first 500 days overseas. Through real-world case studies and practical self-assessment tools, you'll gain an enhanced ability to evaluate cross-cultural scenarios, spot early warning signs of stress, and bypass common early-transition pitfalls before isolation sets in. Walk away with a clear diagnostic framework to better understand and navigate your cross-cultural journey.

Who’s it for:

New and prospective missionaries, international aid workers, ministry leaders, expatriate families, and anyone who faithfully prays for or supports those serving on the field.

Come join us!
