A First for Virginia: Welcoming 87 Missionary Kids at the MK ReEntry Retreat

For the very first time in Virginia, HerMission had the incredible honor of partnering with the MK ReEntry Retreat to welcome 87 missionary kids who are transitioning back to life in the United States. For most of these remarkable young adults, this new season comes with a major milestone—their very first year of college.

Hosted at the beautiful CrossRoads Camp & Conference Center, the retreat provided not just a place to rest and reconnect, but a week filled with practical, life-ready training. These sessions covered everything from budgeting, tipping, and taxes to laundry, college life, and car ownership—real-world skills designed to help them navigate life in the U.S. with confidence.

HerMission was blessed to come alongside these young adults in tangible ways. Each participant received towels, sheets, a pillow and blanket, a gift card, a CrossRoads water bottle, and all the snacks and drinks they could enjoy throughout the week. We also provided transportation from local airports to camp, ensuring they had a smooth and welcoming arrival.

All of this was made possible by the generous hearts of people across the country who chose to be on mission for these MKs. Your support created a safe landing place for them, offering not just physical comforts but the encouragement to begin this new chapter with strength and hope.

As these young adults step into their next season, we are praying for them to thrive—in their studies, in their communities, and in their walk with Christ. The MK ReEntry Retreat team is truly first-class in their mission, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to host such an impactful and life-shaping event here in Virginia.
