for the Sons and Daughters of Missionaries
Mark these dates for MK 2008 June 29 – July 11
Who Can Attend?
This Reentry seminar is for missionary kids (MKs) who have just completed High School and are returning to the United States and Canada.
When and Where?
A thirteen day Reentry Seminar is offered each summer.
The seminar is held on a university campus or conference facility which has modern air conditioned dormitories, dining room, and complete athletic facilities for swimming, soccer, tennis, and other sports.
For nearly 30 years the Narramore Christian Foundation, a Christian counseling ministry, has offered this MK seminar. Since 1997 NCF and Barnabas International have co-sponsored these seminars under the leadership of Perry Bradford.
Objectives?
This FUN-FILLED seminar has some very practical objectives:
Orientation: We'll talk about American culture—the good and the bad, college life, friendships and dating, finances, and social customs. There will be several off-campus social and recreational outings, such as professional athletic events, the beach, and an amusement park.
Assessment: Personality tests will help to assess your personal adjustment and identify growing edges.
Adjustment: Christian educators and counselors, with a heart for missions and a love for teenagers, will encourage and guide you in addressing areas for personal, social, and spiritual growth.
Challenge: Daily chapel, evening dorm meetings, and informal chats with staff and fellow MKs will challenge you to trust God more fully and give new insights towards effective Christian living.
Lots of Fun and Relaxation
We guarantee you'll have a lot of fun, but this is not a camp. A seminar is a "meeting for the purpose of serious discussion and interchange of views." While mornings are spent in the classroom, there is also time to enjoy sports, recreational group activities, table games, or just sitting around talking or singing.
What MKs Have Said

Cost and Registration
