Staff Seminar

Otter Creek hosts staff of Kamulu and Eastleigh for a 4-day seminar.

One of our supporting congregations, Otter Creek Church of Christ, sent a group to visit us in Kamulu. MITS was lucky enough to have a 4-day staff seminar where the entire staff, Eastleigh and Kamulu, was joined together. Two of the visitors lead these seminars. Chris Gonzalez informed the staff on trauma and resilience. He taught the staff about the symptoms of trauma as well as the ability of some students to bounce back. He gave the staff pointers on how to build strong belief systems so that MITS can better cater to students who have experienced trauma. Walter Surdacki talked about spiritual discipline for teens. He also taught the staff new strategies of conflict management. Walter shed light on preventing spiritual burnout and how to inspire a spiritual relationship to continue after the students exit Made in the Streets.
