Harrisonburg, VA
This evening, hosted by VMMissions, is to provide a space for you to thrive and stay connected when your children and grandchildren serve cross-culturally. We want to help parents through a period of adjustment and mixed emotions, to help families stay strong and connected, even when they are separated for the cause of sharing Christ – “How to be Present when Absent.”
About the presenter:

They have served with Rosedale Mennonite Missions and Mennonite Central Committee in Central America and led 8 semesters of cross cultural experiences for EMU.
