"Single Vision" is designed to…

renew the spiritual, physical, emotional, social and ministerial components of an individual.  
To be  refreshed as you  share in  fellowship with other  single  missionaries in an  informal
setting; to talk over ministry challenges and to hear about how the Lord is using missionaries
in a variety of ministries.



The Single Vision Connection

Single Vision  is the first  Member Care  program designed to precisely  address the needs of
single adults who serve cross-culturally.
 The renewal retreat that has been in existence for 10  
years with  annual programs held in  Europe and  Asia.   Single Vision is formed to minister to all
mission organizations with  the  focus to  serve  the  needs of single servants globally.   All
 STAFF
MEMBERS  have  long-term  overseas  service  experience  as  single  adults  and  speak  from  
personal  experience of  what it  means to  thrive and  maintain balance in a constant changing
atmosphere abroad as Christian workers.




Retreat Format

  • Worship is a key component of the program as we seek to focus on the Lord and to   
     spend time with Him in a devotional atmosphere.

     Single Vision is designed to enhance conversations in a small group format.

     privately.
