Cross-cultural mission work is messy. It almost never turns out as we expect. Despite this, God still chooses to use broken people that know Him, from around the globe, to communicate His message to the world. How do we deal with the mess, yet cling to the mystery-- "Christ in you, the hope of glory"? We must expect the mess, embrace it, and engage in the details. We will unpack key concepts and how they can help one thrive, not just survive, on the mission field. This session is based on the book "Kawaja Bye-Bye: The Mess & Mystery of Missions."

Session recorded on Friday, November 10th during Session Block #4 at 2:30 PM EST ; speaker: Jeffrey Perry; Elizabeth Perry

Addressing child mental health needs across cultures

Data on child and adolescent mental disorders across the globe are limited, but prevalence rates vary from 8 to 24%, with treatment gaps up to 99%. In this breakout session, we will explore cultural aspects of child mental health across the globe. How helpful are our “western” diagnoses for children and adolescents in the Global South? Does autism, trauma, depression, etc. look the same across cultures? Are our therapeutic approaches relevant and sustainable? How do we build the capacity of local providers and encourage Christians to provide care and address stigma?

Financial strategy can give you the freedom to tithe more generously, live with less anxiety and conflict, and be available to serve locally and internationally.
