MK Reentry - Who's it for?

A Dynamic and Practical Reentry Seminar for the Sons and Daughters of Missionaries

MK group

Northeast Regional MK Retreat

The Reentry Seminar is built for missionary kids (MKs) who have just completed high school overseas. The seminar provides helpful tools which prepare students for the transition back into life and college in North America. It is an opportunity to learn and grow with those who are experiencing similar things, while also having a fun time!

Dear Friends,
 
Back in KS!!  Thanks for your prayers for traveling mercies and MK connections!
It was a long, but fun excursion out to NC, GA, TX (and lots in between).
 
The fellowship with old friends and getting to know new ones was enriching.
How great to catch up, learning what God has been doing in our respective lives! 
 
I was able to meet with several MKs:
 
In North Carolina:
 --Topher (Northeast MK Retreats; student at Millersville Univ. in PA)
 -- Jennifer (Reentry '08; student at Nyack College in NY) In Georgia:
--Emily  (Reentry '07, Reentry MK Staff '08, student at John Brown Univ.
in AR)
--Larissa  (Reentry MK Staff '06, now with World Relief) --Angela (Adult MK,
former MK Caregiver) In Tennessee:
--Jenny (Reentry MK Staff '08; student at Carson-Newman College in TN)
 
These gatherings were rather spontaneous, so thank you for praying for this orchestration!
 
More answers to prayer (besides travel safety and no car trouble!):  the move of my youngest daughter Margie from Houston, TX,  to Cary, NC, went smoothly. Our major concerns were housing and employment--God has provided both!
 
Looking forward:
September: OK Baptist Univ. has asked me to meet with some of their staff and MKs,    
doing the Assessment Project that was developed last year. This really excites me! 
Hope to do the Assessment Project on as many campuses as possible!
October:   Northeast Regional MK Retreat is being held in the fall instead of February 
    this year.  Pray for a good size group again this year. I will head East for this,  and make  my way up to VT and NH afterwards.
 
There are other potential meetings with universities and churches, so would appreciate your prayers for wisdom in scheduling.  Being an advocate for MKs is truly a privilege. 


 Thank you for your part in my journey!!
 
Serving Him,
 
Judy
