Parents of Workers Abroad is a gathering for parents or grandparents of those serving overseas in missions work.
Family members of global workers left behind can feel a sense of loss when their loved ones are on a foreign field. Often there are feelings of gratitude for children obedient to God, mixed with the real sense of loss when they leave, even for those who have prayed for God to send workers into the harvest. This group seeks to provide fellowship, resources, and support with others who understand this unique life circumstance.
When: Meets the second Monday of each month, 6:30-8:00pm. This is an open group, join any time.
Where: GFC, Elementary Wing
