MK Transition Seminar - What's it about?

This seminar has some very practical objectives:

Orientation: We'll talk about American culture—the good and the bad, college life, friendships and dating, finances, and social customs. There will be several off-campus social and recreational outings, such as professional athletic events, the beach, and an amusement park.

Assessment: Personality tests will help to assess your personal adjustment and identify growing edges.

Adjustment: Christian educators and counselors, with a heart for missions and a love for teenagers, will encourage and guide you in addressing areas for personal, social, and spiritual growth.

Challenge: Daily chapel, evening dorm meetings, and informal chats with staff and fellow MKs will challenge you to trust God more fully and give new insights towards effective Christian living.

We guarantee you'll have a lot of fun, but this is not a camp. A seminar is a "meeting for the purpose of serious discussion and interchange of views." While mornings are spent in the classroom, there is also time to enjoy sports, recreational group activities, table games, or just sitting around talking or singing.

The Leadership:

Perry and Sandi Bradford of Barnabas International have been an integral part of the seminars since 1995. Perry is the Director of Barnabas International and also the Director of MU KAPPA, a fraternal organization for MKs, on over 50 college campuses.
