Description

Did you know that one of the top three reasons missionaries leave the field is because of family relationships? What an impact parents have! While not every parent of a missionary (or POM) reacts to their child's calling in the same way, every single POM will face a range of emotions and life changes as they navigate the unique challenges that come with having a son or daughter as a missionary. The POM Life Conference & Retreat offers the opportunity to connect with fellow POMs, and learn specific ideas and action steps, as we discuss topics like: How to Say Goodbye Well, Stay Connected & Ways to Welcome Them BackTechnology Tips, Tricks & ResourcesHow to Be a Presence When You Can't Be Present -Long-distance Grandparenting & Parenting TipsGrief Relief-How To Cope With Emotions & Challenges Along The WayWhere Do I Fit In God's Plan?Dan and Amy W represent the Member Care department at ABWE and are life-long educators. They began the POM Ministry in the fall of 2021 after their lives were changed when their daughter, son in-law, and only grandchildren left to serve as missionaries in a Muslim country "far far away." Through their experience, God brought healing and a created a passion in their hearts to help other parents. 1 Peter 5:9-10. Whether your heart is grieving or rejoicing, we hope that you will join us. Register for the POM Life Retreat today!
