John Powell Institute
Care. Vitality. Retention.
The John Powell Institute (JPI) is a learning community, in the form of a think tank, highly focused on the resilience and retention of cross-cultural workers. We envision a future where care is holistic and accessible through the life arc of a worker. Increased vitality can be established by identifying needs, integrating healthy rhythms, and providing effective care throughout the full spectrum of their service.
As one of the industry’s longest-running training organizations for cross-cultural workers, MTI is uniquely suited to launch this initiative. Dr. John Powell is an active MTI board member and has been at the heart of developing practices that maintain the health and well-being of cross-cultural workers. We are delighted to honor his legacy in the creation of JPI.

This research will occur in four research cycles throughout a calendar year, each one taking seven days. In each, we will spend:
Three days gathering information, existing research and organizational experience
Two days of synthesizing and analyzing data gathered
Two days of polishing our conclusions for refining and preparing for the next cycle
Throughout the year, we will be sharing our conclusions with MTI's partners via blogs and articles. Following the last of the four research cycles, the year's work will be prepared for publication to be used in consultation with our partner agencies and churches and personalizing best practices and healthy policies for the particular needs of each agency.

Consultation will be offered both in-person and remotely. We look forward to sharing and publishing what we have learned with our partners and friends each year.
