| God gave me a heart for |

God gave me a heart for mission long time ago and I started to look for the chance to know more about it, but I come from the country where mission work is very new thing. Fol-lowing His calling and vision I came out of my country and headed to Middle East without training.
It‘s been already 2 years since I‘m in the Middle East. I was praying and asking God to give me chance to get train-ing. In the end of my second year I heard about AFMI and got a chance to go to KL, Malaysia to get training there.
Coming to KL I was pleasantly surprised to meet many workers from Asia. I was happy to realize that God is opening hearts of people in Asia to go to mission.
I can say that it was very meaningful and helpful train-ing for me. This training made my brain work hard and listen very carefully what Holy Spirit was telling me. The very important question I was pondering all the time dur-ing training: How can I apply this to my ministry in Mid-dle East? How can I be helpful and effective in that area?
I heard about ‗Insider movement‘ before and got inter-ested in it, but this ministry was very new to me and I de-sired to listen more about it from people who are involved in this ministry. In KL I met and talked personally to peo-ple who are doing this movement. I seemed to understand those people because they are Muslims and I myself live in Muslim country. But at the same time I realized that the area where they are doing their ministry is different from the area where I am ministering. Of course new questions arose.
We made bunch of mind maps which made me think and analyze my life and it made me feel even more thank-ful to God for giving me happy life in the past and wonder-ful family. I believe that family background affects your ministry a lot. We had very creative class where we were playing games, watching movies and doing a lot of activi-ties not only in the class, but also outdoors. It was just fun and I enjoyed it! But after every game or movie we got to do mind map and what we learned from this activity. I learned to watch movie not just for the movie itself, but to dig out very valuable principles.
―Form is not important, but function‖ – that is what I learned. We used to follow mission standards of the West. I thought that I had to do the way they did, be-cause they did it successfully and I needed to follow their example to be effective worker. Sometimes it really stressed me out and made me feel very frus-trated when things didn‘t work well. But in the long run our final goal is to bring them to the Kingdom through Jesus Christ, isn‘t it?
Love is what guides my ministry. Love to people. People is the treasure God entrusted to me.
I had a chance to participate in AMLF conference. Many people came to participate and they were shar-ing their experiences. I can admit that in the first days of the conference I was totally unaware what the peo-ple were talking about. They were talking about Global mission which I had no idea about. Later I real-ized the reason why. I am very concentrated on only one area where I minister. But I believe God gave me a chance to meet new people during the conference that expanded my outlook and vision.
I am so thankful to God and people who gave me chance to participate in AFMI training. It was great time of learning. I met people who shared their experi-ences from their places which encouraged me a lot. I am so happy that we all are doing the work for His Kingdom. I still have a lot of room to learn. I still have questions which I got during my time in KL, but I guess it‘s better to have questions than not to have them. A question is a sign that you learned something. It‘s just my idea. :-)
Thank you,
Anna
