debriefing
Debriefing is a guided, reflective process that gives Christian global workers the space to tell their story—honestly and without fear. It’s a chance to look back on what has happened, name the highs and lows, and begin to understand how these experiences have impacted your soul, your relationships, and your view of God.
This is not counselling. It’s a sacred space—a quiet pause in your journey to pay attention to your heart and invite the Lord to meet you there.
What is Debriefing?
Cross-cultural ministry can be beautiful—and also deeply costly. Many Christian workers press on without taking time to reflect, hoping the next season will bring relief. But unprocessed experiences don’t disappear. They settle into our hearts, often unnoticed, until burnout, confusion, or crisis forces a pause.
Debriefing offers that pause—before the breakdown. It’s a chance to step away from the noise, tell the truth about your story, and let God gently begin the work of restoration.
Why Debriefing Matters
Who Should Consider It
Debriefing is for any Christian global worker navigating transition, loss, or simply needing space to reflect. If you’re returning from the field, stepping into a new season, or feeling the weight of grief, burnout, or spiritual confusion, this space is for you.
It’s also for those who have experienced difficult team dynamics, disappointment in ministry, or questions about calling and identity. Whether your season was fruitful or painful—or somewhere in between—debriefing helps you pause, process honestly, and invite God to speak into your story with clarity and grace.
