31 The Divine Word Missionaries (SVD) is celebrating the jubilee year of 150 years with the theme "Witnessing the Light: From Everywhere to Everyone". As a student of SVD in Australia Province I want to use this opportunity to reflect on my journey as an SVD Seminarian and the importance of formation in helping the seminarians grow in readiness for our mission - to be rooted in the call to spread the light of Christ universally, across cultural, social, and religious boundaries. I have been in formation for the last eight years (half the time in Indonesia and the other half in Australia). I personally believe my formation is crucial in shaping me spiritually, intellectually, and personally, so as to be a true witness to the light of Christ. This formation process is not just about acquiring knowledge or skills, but about becoming a living witness to the light—someone who can carry the Gospel to “everyone, everywhere.” As I continue my journey, I am deeply grateful for my SVD formation and the way it continues to Witnessing to the Light - Formation and the Future Mission as an SVD Gusty Siga SVD
