"Team training has become an indispensable part of our equipment in recent years. We have learned many great lessons. The subjects fitted exactly into the issues we were working on as a leadership team."

“We follow the ICP team training with our people from the Intercultural missionary work of Stichting Gave. The weekends are well taken care of. There is time for teaching, for praise & worship as well as plenty of opportunity to spend time together as a team. A number of key words that describe these weekends are: topical, educational, inspiring, enriching and intercultural.”
