Hey! My name is Roman Harvey and I am a junior at Oral Roberts University studying marketing. I came here from the small town of Kearney, Nebraska. This is my second mission trip with ORU Outreach Ministries. Last year I went to Tanzania with an all male team into the bush to build a church for the village of Lubalize. After the Tanzania trip I found out how much I love experiencing new cultures and spreading the Word of God! Some random things about me: I drink green tea A LOT, I love to swim laps at the pool whenever I get a chance, and I currently work in the ORU Outreach office here at school. One passage of scripture that has been on my mind a lot since I have been on Team Germany is Philippians 4:11-13. “…I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
This truth is crucial for every human being to understand. We must know that we have control over our thoughts which will ultimately affect our emotions. If we know how to do this, then we will not be as easily swayed by our circumstances. Being firmly rooted in the Word and having a strong mind allows us to be more useful for the kingdom of God.
