Tommy O’Dell Global Missions

At 19, Tommy (the grandson of T.L. Osborn) and Elisabeth stepped into a mission that would shape their entire lives. Together, they’ve spent 43 years carrying the Gospel to more than 100 nations, often where famine, drought, or political unrest left people suffering and forgotten. Their organization rarely chooses safe places, but always chooses the neediest ones, where the darkness is the greatest.
From the Batwa people in Uganda’s mountains to prisoners behind locked gates, and from starving villages to Indonesia’s millions, they have one conviction: when the love of Christ is revealed, He is irresistible.
Benevolence has always been at the heart of their calling. Jesus told us to care for the poor, feed the hungry, and visit those in prison, and that is what drives every outreach alongside the preaching of the Gospel.
