"For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." – Romans 10:13

The Non-Profit Organization I founded while in Hospital last year, One True Love and Light (OTLAL) has always been about reaching the lost, the broken, and the forgotten. What began as a mission to serve the homeless and mentally ill in the Niagara region has now expanded into a greater calling—one that reaches beyond borders and into the depths of addiction, mental health, and crisis support, all while carrying the Gospel to those in need.

The Lord has placed a deep burden on my heart to take this work into new places—into prisons, into schools, into music festivals, and into the streets where the lost cry out for hope. I have been invited by a dear brother in Christ to visit Africa, where I will have the opportunity to preach to students in a local school and minister in a prison system that desperately needs the redemptive power of Jesus. It is my hope we gain the ability to follow through on these plans that have been prayerfully made with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. At present, the only definite is Las Vegas, after which we will need to spend a short time in preparation to leave, trusting in God to provide further opportunities to continue supporting ourselves along the way. This mission is not just about speaking; it is about witnessing the Spirit move, transforming lives, and bringing the message of salvation to both the emerging generation and those whom society has hardened and cast aside in a unique and compelling way that meets people where they're at.

This calling has been with me for years, since my first missions work in Montreal, where I served the homeless in my late high school years. That experience planted a seed—a longing to go where hope seems lost and proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ. Now, the Lord has made it clear that my mission is to serve wherever He calls, with a primary heart for Africa, but also a passion for the United States and Western Canada.

I am Humbly asking for your support as I embark on this journey. Any donation will go directly toward spreading the Gospel and primarily helping those who struggle with addiction, mental health crises, and the grip of despair. I will take very little for myself—only what is necessary for airfare and modest accommodations. I trust fully in God’s provision for food and daily needs, as He has already shown me His faithfulness through the kindness of those who have invited me into their homes for meals.

I will be working diligently to try attaining funds on my own so I may realize these goals. I will need funds to cover airfare, and I have set a modest budget of around $1,100–$1,700 per month to cover rent, utilities, internet, and miscellaneous emergency expenses. This budget varies depending on how close to a city center I land or where I eventually secure accommodations. My primary focus is to minimize my own expenses at all costs, ensuring that the maximum proceeds go directly toward local Worthy Kingdom Ministries in Nigeria, including, but not limited to this Brother who has already invited me to assist in his Diligent Dedication to winning souls in the area.

My heart is set on blessing those who feel deserted by God, reaching the lost, and ensuring that light is spread into the darkest of places. By sharing the story of Jesus with those in need, I hope to bring hope, healing, and the undeniable truth of His love to those who have yet to encounter it.

If you cannot give financially, I ask for something even greater—your prayers. Please pray over this mission, that the Lord would open hearts, that I would remain humble, and that any funds received would be distributed Wisely and Righteously for the work of the Kingdom.

Live Updates will be posted as we gain souls for the Kingdom and develop works already in progress in order for them to sustain this mission once I leave. Together, we can ensure that Romans 10:13 carries more weight than we can imagine. Souls are waiting. The harvest is plenty. And the time is now.

God bless you, and thank you for standing with me in this mission.

In Christ,

Jordan DeYoung
