MOT: Missionary Orientation and Training

Last week, we had a blast at the Global Outreach headquarters in Tupelo, MS.

You may have noticed our FB posts about our long road trip to Nashville, Mississippi, and Texas. Well, the primary goal was to complete a candidate week with Global called Missionary Orientation Training. It was a wonderful time of meeting the GO staff and meeting other missionaries heading to the field. The week was filled with workshops on missions, culture-crossing, how Global works, etc… The kids had their own sessions and had a blast learning about being a third culture kid. Sometime, you’ll have to ask them about yay ducks and yuck ducks!

Road trip!

Each missionary joining Global shared a 5-min presentation at West Jackson Baptist Church. Most of us went over our time. Hey, we’re missionaries! 🙂
