#64 | Alan Andrioni | Community and Outreach that form Laborers

Our guest this week is Alan Andrioni. Alan is currently on staff in Birmingham, England. However, his testimony and first years on staff trace back to Belo Horizonte, Brazil, where and when both hosts, Kent Bailey and Jon Elam, were on staff. Alan shares how the missional community he experienced drew him to Christ, and how the gospel transformed not only himself, but his family, classmates, and friends. After his tenure in Brazil, Alan and his family moved to labor in England, and he shares particularities of these two contexts, both challenges and opportunities. Europe is awakening once again, and he is excited to share how the church is meeting needs. Movement Spotlight: Campus Outreach Lima Season 4 will focus on our definition of a laborer, “a person mobilized through the church to live out Christ-centered identity with Spirit-filled character, who is governed by a Biblical worldview and who engages persuasively among non-Christians with the gospel and is equipped to multiply this lifestyle in others.” Music by QubeSounds [https://pixabay.com/music/beats-abstract-fashion-pop-131283/] and Bamboo Corporate [https://stock.adobe.com/search/audio?k=898824419] _________________ If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to the show on your favorite podcasting service to receive new episodes as soon as they are released.

#62 | Blake Buckman | The Simplicity of a Laborer

Our guest this week is Blake Buckman, Area Director with Campus Outreach Lexington, Kentucky. Blake is a blue-blood Kentuckian and loves to labor where his roots are strong. Blake came to faith in college through the faithful ministry of a few CO staff. His staff experience came when he felt so strongly about spending his days sharing Jesus on campus, “I can do nothing else.” Through fruitful seasons and very hard seasons, Blake boldly relies on the simplicity of the gospel and the saving grace of Jesus to continue to labor. Blake also shares about the incredible fruitfulness of CO Lexington's recent years on campus and how they strive to continue developing Christ-like laborers who can engage persuasively in any context with the good news of salvation.

#61 | Sarah L. | A Laborer's Burden for Multiplication, “It Can't End with Me!”

Our guest this week is Sarah L., on staff with Campus Outreach Birmingham, England. Sarah shares her upbringing as a child of Campus Outreach staff, her conversion, and the first twinges of a desire to become a laborer. She shares her reflections on what it means not only to be a follower and disciple of Jesus, but also a laborer in God's harvest field. Sarah's burden is to see multiplication happen all over the world, especially among the multiple worldviews, religions, and nationalities she works with on the U.K. campus.  Sarah's passion and resolve to be a laborer can be heard when she says, "Lord, you've got to take this to the next generation, and they have to be able to multiply this to the next generation, it can't end with me!” Movement Spotlight: Campus Outreach San Diego Season 4 will focus on our definition of a laborer, “a person mobilized through the church to live out Christ-centered identity with Spirit-filled character, who is governed by a Biblical worldview and who engages persuasively among non-Christians with the gospel and is equipped to multiply this lifestyle in others.” Music by QubeSounds [https://pixabay.com/music/beats-abstract-fashion-pop-131283/] and Bamboo Corporate [https://stock.adobe.com/search/audio?k=898824419] _________________ If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to the show on your favorite podcasting service to receive new episodes as soon as they are released.
