This 3rd edition of the Returnee Handbook (海归手册) is the first version published in a side-by-side Chinese/English format. It is designed to be used as a workbook for returnees themselves, and also for those ministering to returnees. Using the Handbook, anyone can journey with their returning Christian friends as they prepare themselves for the challenges and opportunities ahead. It touches on the main issues that returnees will face including, reverse culture shock, family issues, workplace challenges and the church. Each chapter ends with discussion and reflection questions to help the returnee process what they have learned and assess the best ways they can invest their remaining time overseas in preparing. There are encouraging and challenging testimonies of those who have already faced the challenge of returning and biblical examples of returnees like Moses, and Ruth. Our purpose is to help returning Christians prepare and equip themselves and to encourage them to bring the gospel back to their home country with a sense of calling from God. We want to see returnee Christians continue to grow in their faith and integrate into local churches and fellowship groups, commit themselves to ministry, and engage in mission.

《海归手册》（中英文对照版）简介

本手册涵盖了海归将面临的主要问题，包括：反向文化冲击、家庭问题、职场挑战以及教会生活。每一章末尾都设有讨论与反思问题，帮助海归基督徒消化所学内容，并评估如何利用在海外剩下的时间进行最佳的归国准备。书中还包含了一些感人至深且具挑战性的见证，分享了先行者的归国经历；同时也引用了圣经中如摩西、路得等“海归”的榜样。
我们的宗旨是帮助回国的基督徒做好预备与装备，鼓励他们带着上帝的呼召将福音带回祖国。我们渴望看到海归基督徒在信仰中持续成长，融入当地教会与团契，委身于事工，并积极参与宣教。
