Servant Leadership

Leadership at ARI is based on the example of Jesus Christ. He served the sick, poor, and powerless with humility and love. As a servant leader, Jesus willingly took up the work to serve others, beginning with tasks that are most needed or most hated. He set an example of giving up one’s own life so that others can live with dignity and justice.

Together with Christ, we at ARI place emphasis on reaching the most marginalized and oppressed peoples in the world, especially women, tribal minorities, and those of so-called “low castes” and “untouchables.”

Servant Leaders do not need to command others or assert authority through force. They earn respect through their hard work, their integrity, and their care for others. Servant Leaders know that their position is among grassroots people, not working for them but with them. They see their job fulfilled when people thrive without their help.

The ARI community is a place where people are committed to learning such a life of service. Members practice daily through taking part in all work: From cleaning toilets and shoveling soil to serving food and listening to others, we do our part so that we can live together.
