The 2nd Half Collaborative (2HC) is a ten-month cohort journey for mission workers in the second half of life.

Navigating disruption, loss, and the changing needs of family can bring unexpected disorientation for some mission workers in the second half of life. Some long for a simpler and deeper relationship with Jesus. Others need increased capacity for discernment in a time of life and ministry transition. Almost all have expressed how refreshing it is to be alongside others in their 2HC cohort in honest friendship.

2HC reflects the commitment of Frontier Ventures to support and come-alongside mission workers who are living out fullness of life in Jesus including in hard places and among the least-reached. 

Distinctives of 2HC include a commitment to safe and honest sharing, monthly modules of learning, three virtual retreats, one-on-one spiritual direction, one-on-one coaching, and formation through regular spiritual practices. Content for the ten monthly modules is hosted on an online platform that can be accessed by 2HC members at any time. 

Content is kept to a minimum to encourage a four-week learning cycle:

Week 1 - viewing or reading new material in short videos and interactive document format
Week 2 - engaging that material in some practical way
Week 3 - reflecting on that engagement
Week 4 - sharing in a small group

There are ten modules of 2HC learning formed roughly around three different areas of emphasis: practices of interiority (or the inner life), practices of authentic community, and practices of sustainable mission. Retreats focus on the sharing of spiritual autobiographies, practices for discernment, and practices of gratitude and blessing.

Thank you for your partnership as 2HC helps mission workers to cultivate the postures and practices for flourishing and fruitfulness in the second half of life.
