TRACTION 2013 Conference in Switzerland
for Men Serving in Europe, Asia, Africa & the Middle East
September 21 - 27, 2013
Traction is a 6-day experience September 21-27, 2013 for men who serve in cross-cultural settings. This week of restoration is all about helping guys navigate their roles as leaders in order to gain spiritual footing and momentum to move forward. Traction is designed to encourage cross-cultural workers who serve in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Traction is held at Credo located in one of Switzerland’s most breathtaking regions near Interlaken. The facility lends itself well to activities like soccer/football, volleyball, an adjacent world class ropes course, lots of hiking and a real castle ruin right on the property (guys like ruined castles). It is a quiet, majestic setting with plenty of space for men to pull away and regroup.
Traction is led by Dr. Daniel Hahn of Catalyst Int’l, a ministry founded in 2004 dedicated to supporting Christian leaders in highly challenging global environments. Daniel and his wife, Lori, lead the annual
Breathe Conference, also held in Switzerland.
Considering the life of King David, the week will deal squarely with issues guys contend with:
- Balancing leadership and soul care
- Navigating difficult relationships
- Persevering in the face of challenges
- Family life
- Confronting sexual compromise
- Recovery from failure
- Learning to develop a lifestyle of worship
All of this will be approached within the context of life on the field as an international worker. The mornings at Traction are given to exploring these issues while the afternoons are free for counseling appointments, medical consultation, outdoor activities, and personal reflection.
Teams and individuals are welcome. We have room for about 80 men; space is filled on a first come, first served basis. Registration fees include shared accommodations (2-3 per room), all meals, and programming. A non-refundable $150 deposit (in USD) paid to BFC/Catalyst Int’l is required at the time of registration.
We look forward to meeting you!
