We have almost done two half of our first module and in less than two weeks we present a 45min presentation on our findings. Each of the groups has a very different dynamic and we are all learning alot about each other, about diplomacy and patience. This will be a really interesting year!
Our mission placements were announced to us this week, surprising a few and relieving others. Instead of the traditional 3 months of outtraining, as has been done for many years, we now follow the new program of membership at assigned corps around our division. Over the course of the year we attend, share, preach and lead in this corps, getting to know the people and journeying with them. This year we are doing this in teams around the Wellington area.
However, for the second year cadets, we also have six weeks spread out throughout the year for which we spend time in various centres and specific corps activities. These field training weeks are spaced throughout the year to correlate with the module we are studying at the time... i.e. for the Mission and Community Ministry module we spend a week in a centre or other social ministry. As to the details of these, we will find out closer to the time.
So all you Ambassadors in Australia - enjoy your three months on the job training and the challenges and blessings these bring.
