The experience
Five days of medical missionary training in Montenegro with instructor Rob Bertholf. Morning practical work covers gardening, tree planting, construction, and object lessons. Afternoon classes and personal implementation workshops follow the progression from Perspective to Beliefs, Values, Identity, Purpose, Motivation, and Action. Worship and evening presentations complement the practical work. Interpretation time is included in the teaching sessions.
