Immersion Experiences
One of the purposes of the SLCs
10 month process is to help peopleidentify personally with injustice,
suffering, and pain in the world. We
do this so that individuals will deter-mine to stop participating in the
systems that create and perpetuate
poverty and other kinds of oppression
in the world. We also do this so that
some will take up the task of working
to reform the systems and eliminate
the inequities that are so prevalent in
todays culture. While much of soci-
ety may be fine with letting people
other than themselves suffer underthe crushing weight of injustice,
servant leaders are not.
Therefore, we ask that eachparticipant in the 10 month process
participate in at least two immersion
experiences during the course of the
program. Following is a list of possi-
bilities to explore. You may partici-
pate in any of these on your own, or
contact Steve at 419-476-0941 to
arrange for a group experience.
Youll be glad you did!
I don't know what your
destiny will be, but one
thing I do know: the onlyones among you who willbe really happy are those
who have sought and found
how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
Serving a meal or, better yet, sitting and sharing a mealwith a homeless or hungry person, is a great opportunity
to connect with those who suffer under poverty. All of the
following soup kitchens gladly accept volunteer help ona one-time, periodic, or ongoing basis. Warning: if you
go once, you probably wont want to stop!

10 Month Process: Servant Leadership - Threshold To A Life Transformed
Stop and think what we could do tochange areas in the social justice realmif we recognized that our gifts are from
God, to be shared and to be used forHis greater good. More people wouldparticipate inempoweringthemselves andothers ratherthan beingapathetic. Thecourse helpedme to recog-nize that God loves me, gives me giftsand wants me to share them for His
greater good! ...It is a wonderful spiritualjourney!
Trina Shultz, Delphos
[People] would really benefit from thisprocess as it awakens us to what we are
truly supposed to focus on in our lives:
helping others, serving others, and be-ing truly present to God and all he has
for us to dowhile we are
here in thisworld. Know-
ing, loving andserving Himthrough our
lives andremembering this through the readings,sharing, etc. are what make the ServantLeadership process so enriching for our
lives as we continue on this journey.
Tony & Ginny Lucarelli, Swanton
Our chief want is someone
who will inspire us to be
what we know we could be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The 10 month process is the cor-
nerstone program of The Servant
Leadership Center. It offers personal
spiritual development and growth,
confrontation of the societal conditions
that create and perpetuate poverty
and others forms of injustice in the
world, and a means for sorting out
where each of us belongs in the work
of righting the wrongs that are so
visible, yet ignored in our culture. It is
a process that brings personal trans-
formation, and aims at helping bringcommunity and cultural transformation
through its participants. Read these
