Connections Renewals have become a vital way Great Cities Missions cares for and equips our missionaries serving throughout Latin America. These weeklong renewal retreats are intentionally designed to help our missionaries reconnect with God, find fellowship with others who understand the unique challenges of the field, and receive compassionate support from a team of spiritually mature individuals dedicated to walking alongside them.  For the last 20 years our renewals have been an important part of missionary care because they give missionaries what they often don’t even realize they need: space to breathe, a place to share, and to be poured into.  Some of the participants have said that if it wasn’t for this event, they may not have been able to stay on the field as long as they have.

Connections is not just a renewal—it’s a lifeline. God uses it to meet our missionaries at their most vulnerable and to remind them they are not alone in their calling.  If you would like to donate to this ministry or get more information, contact Ila Dabbs at idabbs@greatcities.org.  Below are some videos to give you an idea of what our missionaries experience.
