The Essentials is 5 days of training designed to provide the fundamental training, tools, and “best practices” to equip mission teams and families to prepare, prevent, and respond to circumstances that would endanger them such as natural disasters, mechanical failures, criminal/terrorist activities, socio-political unrest, and various forms of persecution. 

The Essentials is designed for participants as young as 12, and families are encouraged to attend together. Training will consist of interactive lectures, guided discussions, small group instruction, and outdoor labs.
