Practice in Mission and Ministry: Experiential Learning.

Описание: Experiential learning is not just something we talk about. It is how we form leaders through action, reflection, and community.
In this presentation, ABHMS shares how experiential learning helps people connect to mission and ministry with their hands and feet, but also their hearts, voices, and minds. Drawing from the way Jesus taught the disciples through lived experience, the speaker highlights how formation happens when people are sent out to serve, then return to reflect on what God did through them.
You will hear how this approach connects to signature marks like compassion and local change, spiritual formation through everyday practice, deeper mission engagement, multicultural and intercultural competency, and exposing and repairing systems of social injustice. The talk includes real examples of emerging leaders applying what they are learning, along with stories of devotional resources and church-based practices that connect faith, justice, and community.
The session closes with an interactive exercise inviting participants to reflect on images and share a word or phrase that captures what experiential learning means to them, showing that learning deepens when we do it together.
