Reviews:
“One thing I am taking away from [this retreat] is that I am beloved of the Lord. It’s not what I am doing.”
~Pauline Mwanzia, Wycliffe, Africa
“[We are appreciative of] the modules on Relationships Drive Performance. They modeled what they taught us by the hundreds of people-hours of preparation, the quality of the material, and the detailed understanding of their audience.”
~Craig Russell, JAARS VP of Transportation Services
“During their recent visit [SRV] helped facilitate a week long spiritual retreat and team building for 16 [local] Bible translators, literacy workers and Scripture Engagement workers from three different language groups. In addition to the retreat, they also helped some of our departments with useful and creative team building activities as well as two informative coaching workshops. They also met with individuals and families in the
community and were a source of encouragement to many.”
~Fabienne Freeland, Director SIL Cameroon
