Before the tour we weren’t quite sure what the theme of the outreach would be, but towards the end it became apparent and was best described by a line in a song that one of our students wrote last fall. “You are God above it all. No matter the circumstance, You are still bigger than my hopelessness.”
Despite a majority of our team getting sick, narrowly missing tornadoes, media equipment being lost, and our external hard drive crashing which contained all of our recorded video and pictures from tour, the outreach proved that God was still God no matter the circumstances.
Time and time again throughout the tour we encountered hopeless situations. From the numerous girls who were addicted to cutting themselves to the single mother diagnosed with cancer and raising 4 children on her own, we had the humbling privilege to minister to so many people from many walks of life.
One of our most memorable experiences was the opportunity we had to pray for forty-eight teenagers in a detention center. Many of them came from broken homes with either no mother or father, and consequently their lives were filled with bitterness and poor choices.
Our team did an amazing job ministering 17 times within 20 days at several youth groups, churches, a food bank, Dallas detention center and on the streets of Oklahoma City. All in all we were able to reach approximately 3,000 people with the gospel.
