Stephanie Setiawan from Sidoarjo, Indonesia, had no plan to go to Latin America. She applied for Mennonite Central Committee\u2019s International Volunteer Exchange Program in 2013\/2014, but the slot for her synod was already taken. The coordinators offered her a YAMEN placement in Colombia instead.  <\/p>\n

As a result, Stephanie Setiawan discovered a love for Latin culture and training for future service. \u201cI am so grateful to have served in Colombia. There, God prepared me for serving at Assembly in Indonesia,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n

The Young Anabaptist Mennonite Exchange Network (YAMEN) <\/a>program is a joint program between Mennonite World Conference and Mennonite Central Committee. It places emphasis on expanding the fellowship between churches in the Anabaptist tradition and developing young leaders around the globe. Participants spend one year in a cross-cultural assignment starting in August and ending the following July. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d never paid attention to Colombia before,\u201d Stephanie Setiawan says, but she began to learn. She initiated correspondence with a young person from the church where she would be serving. \u201cIt felt great to have a friendship before I went there.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I arrived, I didn\u2019t speak any Spanish and my host family could not speak English. They were so committed to teaching me the language,\u201d she says. \u201cThey explained Spanish words; if there were things, they showed them; if there\u2019s an action, they acted it out for me. Every time we had free time, they gave it to conversation with me.\u201d <\/p>\n

In her service placement, \u201cthe children were so patient,\u201d she says. She showed them pictures to teach English vocabulary and the children taught her Spanish in turn.  <\/p>\n

After several months, Stephanie Setiawan was able to speak and understand Spanish, but \u201cI still didn\u2019t get the jokes. It\u2019s weird when people are talking and I couldn\u2019t see the funny things. One day when I laughed, it felt really good. Finally, I could get the interactions.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be great to meet more people from other cultures,\u201d she thought, as the YAMEN program introduced her to friends from around the world. She began to anticipate the MWC Assembly in Indonesia which her host mom told her about. \u201cIt would be really powerful to worship God together with our diversity.\u201d <\/p>\n

When Assembly arrived, Indonesian language coordinator Ary Rusdianto turned to Stephanie Setiawan, now working as web communications assistant for MWC. Interpreters for Spanish and Indonesian were scarce: she knew both languages.  <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been a translator. I rarely talk in a big group. This is the biggest stage in my life. If I had an option I would say no,\u201d says Stephanie Setiawan. Friends encouraged her and helped her prepare.  <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And she remembered the neighbourhood Barrio Tokio in Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia.  <\/p>\n

Part of her YAMEN work took her to this neighbourhood with a difficult reputation. \u201cNever once did I feel afraid,\u201d she says. \u201cMy interaction with children and parents is still fresh in my memory. I felt the peace of God in that place and the warmness of those people.\u201d <\/p>\n

The miracle of peace amid uncertainty occurred again on stage in Salatiga as she interpreted for Jos\u00e9 Rutilio Rivas. \u201cIt was an honour to serve in this way.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI feel it is really important to have connections to people from around the world,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen you embrace the differences and diversity you can grow, and your soul can be rich. There is always something good in another culture just waiting to learn.  <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you know someone from far away is praying for you, it will touch your heart. It\u2019s important for us to pray for our brother and sister around the world especially when you know they are facing difficulty.\u201d  <\/p>\n
