  • On-Field

    Challenge. Learn. Grow.

What is the On-Field Stage?

For those already on the field, the picture can look very different from how one expected. You may feel the preparation period didn’t cover all you needed to know. It’s not too late – check out the resources, go through our courses or get in touch with us on how we can help.

Frequent issues include navigating culture shock; conflict resolution across cultures and within the team; marital issues and family needs; personal and spiritual growth; maintaining balance and rest; support from home and on the field.
