Resilience

At the heart of our training is resilience—a hard-earned, lived reality drawn from decades of walking alongside nomadic peoples and walking in the footsteps of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Our courses are shaped by the legacy of mentors like Malcolm and Jean Hunter, who together carry over 40 years of nomadic experience, and by a growing number of leaders who carry thousands of years of inherited wisdom through their own nomadic heritage. Whether a mentor brings 10 years of service or a generational identity steeped in movement and survival, this training is built to deepen and sustain a resilient life and witness.

We have learned resilience from the shepherds, travelers, and tent-dwellers of Scripture—from Abraham to the Prophets, from the Apostles to Jesus himself. This nomadic lens gives us a fresh, necessary way of engaging with the Bible. It reframes how we think about discipleship, character formation, sin, community, family, and church—not just in distant fields but in our home societies too. Our courses prepare participants to follow Jesus with endurance, humility, and relevance—whether within the rhythms of nomadic life or while crossing cultures to make Him known among nomadic communities.
