| Life-long Learning! / AFMI Training |
|
| Alice Choi |
|
On one of the first nights of AFMI train-ing, I asked some of my fellow train-ees what brought them to this training and what expectations they had. I lis-tened eagerly to what they shared and when they asked the same questions of me, I really had to stop and think.
I understood that the theme of AFMI training was to catalyze a paradigm shift in the missions thinking and practice of its par-ticipants, many of whom have been working on the field for a substantial period of time. By the time I arrived at the AFMI training last October, I can say that my paradigm had already been shifting quite radically. In terms of the content of AFMI training, I felt that I was well acquainted with insider prin-ciples and was continuing to process what it means for my work and even my whole out-look on life.
So, how did I answer the question of why I was at AFMI training and what were my expectations?
“You. You are why I am here.” My fellow trainees looked back at me quizzically, par-ticularly since I had just met them about a half hour earlier.
I went on to explain that I have been in-volved in missions (as a mobilizer, a field worker, a home office staff member) for about 18 years, and one thing that I was coming to realize more and more is that I really love missions training! I’m energized to come alongside folks who are in learning mode, who are being exposed to new ideas, who are processing those new ideas.
One of my personal highlights of AFMI training came out of one of the training ses-sions that focused on the idea of conver-gence. To be more exact, the trainer asked us to think about our personal passions, our gifts and talents, and the world’s needs. As
Owe discover where these three things converge, we can pinpoint the areas where we can serve God’s kingdom.
I realized that at AFMI training I was experiencing an area of convergence in my life—my passion for helping others, my gift of helps and listening to oth-ers without judgment, and the need for missions training.
My fellow trainees were Korean, Chinese Malay-sian, Korean-Uzbek, Korean-American (me), Fili-pino, Indonesian, and Indian. Quite a mix of cul-tures and personalities! Being with such a multi-cultural group had its share of misunderstandings, miscommunications, and downright uncomfortable moments.
During the training it was my joy to ask the other trainees what they thought about what we were learning, to ask questions that would spur them to process even further, to listen without feeling I needed to provide an answer to the questions that were brewing in their minds and hearts.
As AFMI training came to a close, as our missions paradigm had been given a major tweak, I realized that this was just the beginning. What we had learned during AFMI training only surfaced more questions and it was going to be a lifetime of proc-essing through to answers which would only lead to new questions. In other words, an attitude of life-long learning would always need to be imprinted on my heart. (AFMI/ASFM)
