You're invited to join Missionary Care (GO Global Care) in collaborating with
TCK Training for this amazing workshop!
Third Culture Kids (TCKs) carry the beauty and complexity of a global mobile life, and the Church
is uniquely positioned to walk alongside them with care, understanding, and intentional support.
That's why GO Global Care is hosting a one-day workshop with TCK Training (an organization specialized
in research-based care) designed for anyone that could have a TCK in their life!
We would love for you to join us on April 11 for this meaningful and practical workshop.
What is a Third Culture Kid (TCK)?
A TCK is someone with a global mobile childhood—having lived outside their parents' passport
country during their developmental years, with the expectation of repatriation. This includes, but is not
limited to: missionary kids, military kids, Foreign Service kids, NGO kids, and more.
Are you ready to strengthen your support for them and their families?
Workshop Overview
Join us for a one-day workshop for church leaders and volunteers committed to caring for the kids whose
parents serve overseas. The Church holds a unique position to provide crucial emotional and spiritual
support to missionary children. This workshop equips you with research-based tools, practical insights,
and actionable strategies to make a lasting impact.
You'll Learn:
- The unique needs and challenges TCKs face
- How non-parent adults serve as protective factors in TCK wellbeing
- Practical ways to create emotionally safe spaces
- Communication strategies that build trust across transitions
- How to support TCKs through grief, identity questions, and cultural shifts
Whether you're a Sunday School teacher, youth leader, mentor, missions committee member, or a church
volunteer, you'll leave equipped to help TCKs thrive—not just survive their globally
mobile childhood.
