The Heritage of ORBC

We all have a heritage from our families, however not everyone has the heritage of a Church Family like A and I have. Today was a Reunion for all the youth, our parents and the youth workers from 1979 to 1990 at ORBC. There was about 250 people there, I think, it was so hard to judge how many were actually there as kids were all over, parents were visiting away and our parents (the grandparents) were visiting away. We got to see tons of pictures and old home movies with all of the songs we sang at camp Alto Frio, mission trips and hanging out.

It was such a wonderful opportunity to pay tribute to the fearless leaders that God brought into our path as they were there also. Gary was our Youth Director and Bill was our Choir Director during those years. Man what fun, sad and meaningful times we had; we played hard, witnessed hard and prayed hard. God has worked in such an amazing way in all of us and it was so great to see everyone. So many were missed, several were missed due to recording albums, mission trips, having babies and moving.

During some of those years it was nothing to have 200 plus in the youth ministry so you can only imagine how many kids have come through that ministry over the years.

We all agreed that God did a wonder through all of us to bring us together so that we could do a wonder where God placed us as adults. It was great to see everyone! As we sang today, Our God is an Awesome God.
