Bogot\u00e1, Colombia \u2013 \u201cThe gospel connects us all no matter where we are,\u201d says Laurey Segura. She lived out this realization as a teacher and youth worker with the help of Young Anabaptist Mennonite Exchange Network (YAMEN), a joint Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) and Mennonite World Conference (MWC) program which allowed the Costa Rican Mennonite to serve in Cambodia for a year over 2016\u20132017.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was hoping to help a lot but instead, I feel that they helped me the most,\u201d says Segura. Instead of being like an extended vacation with moments of fulfilling service, YAMEN \u201cwas also mostly a process of changes, for which I am grateful,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was not easy but I learned a lot about myself and my perspective of life changed \u2013 in a good way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned to love my neighbours, to serve the Lord Jesus, to serve the community without thinking about a reward in monetary terms,\u201d says Felizarda Atan\u00e1sia Filimone from Mozambique who served as a youth worker with Creciendo Juntos at Monte Horeb Mennonite Church, Soacha, Colombia.<\/p>\n

Life\u2019s difficulties can lead to despair, but serving in the YAMEN program with Podcasts for Peace in Managua, Nicaragua gave Colombia Mennonite Brethren Jhon Alex Martinez Lozano hope \u201cthat there is a church that is at the service of people regardless of race, colour or stratum.\u201d He learned about hospitality in a deeper way, and that \u201cthere is no distinction between people; we are all treated well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before she entered the program, Filimone felt as though she had lost faith. Through YAMEN, \u201cI was expecting a change in my life; I envisioned inner peace and spiritual growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The challenging moments in Segura\u2019s cross-cultural year of service taught her to \u201chave [faith in God] as your hope in difficult times. Despite the good or bad things, we are being formed and these experiences will become good memories, future stories and good lessons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through her service with Youth Equipped with Skill of Internship Center, Develop Our Village Economy in Phnom Penh, \u201cI learned how important it is to make disciples and to stand by them before, during and after as a mentor and brother or sister in the faith,\u201d says Segura.<\/p>\n

Advice for those considering YAMEN service?<\/p>\n

\u201cSmile always, speak of God\u2019s love\u2026and talk about your country,\u201d says Filimone. She urges people not to be ashamed of what they don\u2019t know, but to respect and learn from others, especially those from other cultures. Future YAMENers should \u201cshare with family, friends and participate in youth meetings in the church. Seek God whenever you feel distressed, look for a friend to trust and talk about your concerns, so you do not feel alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTrust the direction of the Spirit of God in a way that reflects the life and teaching of Jesus, the unity of peace and reconciliation,\u201d says Filimone.<\/p>\n
