Ministering to Missionary's Kids (MKs)


 

The MK Re-Entry Retreat is built for MKs or Third Culture Kids(TCKs) who are seniors in high school or college age.  The MK Re-Entry Retreat provides helpful tools which prepare for the transition back into American life and college.

It is an opportunity to learn and grow with those who are experiencing similar things, while also having a fun time too! Come and join us at our 2008 retreat!!
