WELCOME
ORU Missions and Outreach is a key component of the university's mission to send students to the uttermost bounds of the earth, displaying God's light and power in every man's world. Students have the opportunity to experience diverse cultures and lifestyles while investing their skills into God's eternal purpose.
Missions - This year, more than 30 mission teams will be traveling across the United States and around the world, trained and equipped to minister to those in need. Trips are scheduled from one week to two months. Spring break trips include Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, New York and St. Louis. One month trips include China, India, Japan, Brazil, Romania, Tanzania, Uganda and Ukraine.
Outreach - Outreach teams do the work of the Kingdom week after week and reach the city of Tulsa with the light of the gospel. Teams help organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers & Sisters, Hope for the Homeless, Adopt-a-Block and Children's Medical Center.

Stories From The Field
Togo, a small nation on the coast of West Africa.
Team Togo was one out of seven ORU mission trips to Africa this summer. The team was made up of five students: three girls and two boys. Senior ORU student Andrea Borman was the Assistant Team Leader and it was her first time in Africa.
