MOP exists to equip missionary appointees and their children for effective transition into fruitful intercultural ministry with SEND International. To accomplish this purpose we seek to:

• bond the participant with SEND through the development of relationships with and trust in the people and the organization.

• introduce the participant to SEND’s values, mission and culture

• train the participant to develop necessary skills for effective cross-cultural transition
