“Learning how they can view their life back in America through the same lens and with the same mindset that made it possible for them to live and minister successfully on the mission field is refreshing to a missionary.” (Jeff Jackson, Shepherd’s Staff)
Cross-cultural adaptation is an acquired skill. It’s just that many missionaries don’t expect they’ll need to employ that skill when they return to the U.S. Debriefing events like Recalibrate! can help them make that application.
