A Taste of Debriefing: a Tool to Better Listening, Better Caring

Do you provide some type of formal or informal member care to global workers? Join us at this preconference workshop for an introduction to debriefing. You will:

  • Get a foundational understanding of this beneficial tool in member care.
  • Learn about the process of active listening.
  • Sample several practical tools.
  • Practice a few introductory debriefing skills.
  • Explore resources and next steps to becoming a debriefer.

Whether or not you decide to pursue training to become a debriefer, this workshop will increase your understanding and develop your ability to listen and care well.

Thursday, February 20, 6:30-9:00 p.m.
Friday, February 21, 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Location: Berean Baptist Church
Cost: $45 (includes all materials and snacks/brunch)
Presenter: Peggy Spiers, who serves on the Global Support Team
for All Nations International.

After spending a lifetime serving young hearts in the classroom, Peggy Spiers transitioned to actively mobilizing, sending, and supporting missionaries from the local church. From her years of spending time with missionaries around the world, Peggy has had a front-row seat to the unique successes and strains missionary families face on the field. From these observations she helped develop Sender’s U, a training to equip churches and individuals in practical ways to send and care for their missionaries. Additionally, Peggy is a trained debriefer and has facilitated debriefings for missionary couples, singles and families on furlough, in transition, or returning from the field.
