Is Your Spirit Fed
Summer of 2016 I went to my second Leadership Project, an almost 8 week event put on by Campus Outreach with the purpose of growing closer to the Lord through work, evangelism, discipleship, and community. It’s an incredible experience, one that I highly recommend you attend if you have the ability (or something similar). It’ll grow you closer to the Lord like few other things will.
During my second Project, I was a room leader, meaning I was responsible for the general direction and spiritual guidance/leadership of a handful of guys. I started with two, had five mid-way through the Project, and ended with three, so it was an eventful summer. To add to the chaos, I took an online physics class during Project so that I could graduate almost on time, since I failed an intro physics class during the spring of my senior year due to a general lack of self-discipline and a generally negative attitude towards school.
Needless to say, it was a busy summer.
In my experience and time with CO, one thing that has become very evident is CO’s excellence at discipleship, which also remains true at LP. At Project, they provide leaders for every group of people, or, at minimum, solid accountability and consistent community for all.
Part of being a room leader at LP – while being a spiritual leader myself – was being under the guidance of what is called a team leader, i.e. the next person up on the spiritual ladder of leadership. The team leader’s, in turn, are spiritually and practically accountable to the Project director of their same gender.
The team leader for me, and for the other three room leader guys on my team that summer, was a guy named Landon Tucker. I want to specifically call him out because he’s the primary man whom God used to change my heart towards the Word. And, though it’s only through God’s grace that Landon was used, I still desire to give Landon the shout out he deserves for being faithful to what the Lord called him to.
[Landon, if you read this, I know it’s been over a year and a half, and I know I’ve mentioned this to you before, and other people – probably multiple times – but thank you again. Don’t mind me calling you out one more time for your faithfulness50 20 20 20 20 Recent
