ORU Missions and Outreach

Team Atlanta Highlight! "My favorite moment was on the last day. During the trip I was able to spend a significant amount of time with a 12 year old boy from New York names Elijah. He hadn’t really heard much at all about Jesus. On the last day I sat down and he was so curious so I just walked him through Jesus’ birth to his death. After that I asked if he wanted Jesus in his heart and he was like, absolutely. I was able to lead him in a salvation prayer, and he accepted Jesus. He had a 9 year old brother Tyree, and I told him how now he gets to share Jesus with his brother just like I did with him. He said he would and that moment just so brought tears to my eyes." - Ethan Willis (Member)

Team Dallas Highlight!! "Our team had the opportunity to go to a prayer service run by a guy named Kyler and an apartment complex. Kyler had been serving the people there for over a year and had lead the prayer service there for a while on Monday nights. There were only about five other people who attended the service that night we did. I wondered why he continued to commit to running this prayer service if so few people showed up. It seemed like an inefficient use of his tim...e and energy. After the service we got to pray with him, and something he said answered all of my previous doubts. If nothing came of all his ministry there, he said it would still be worth it because of Jesus. In talking with others that attended the prayer service, they expressed that choosing a life of walking with Christ was better than anything the world could give, even if their decision was never validated through worldly means. I was challenged to serve the Lord not for personal gain but his Glory, regardless of the outcome." - Neilson Pettingell (TL) #MissionsAndOutreach See more
