Stride Placement Training Day

I've just come back from the training day that I ran for everyone involved in a Stride placement. Each Strider (volunteer for 6months -2 years) has a mentor, a host family and someone at their work placement who supervises their work. Today was a chance to get all those people together for the 9 Striders who will be arriving over the next month, to think about the culture shock that they might encounter and what we can do to help, and to pray for each other in our roles as well as for the Striders.

It was a really positive day - with lots of fun activities as well as discussion and prayer. And hope that it was useful for everyone that came.
