Initiators of the Jesus Crusades |

Bro. Donald M. Orand & Sis.
Orand, initiated the Jesus Crusades as part of their ministry in 1983, to
lift up the Name of Jesus - rather than the name of man or denomination,
finding this to be a battle, even amongst the churches. Bro. Orand
was a Prophetic/Revivalist that God used
mightily the past 25 years to affect not only the church, but at times,
entire communities.
Many have called him a prophet of God, and a preacher of righteousness, but he has simply said, he is just a 'Jesus man'; a friend and brother of Jesus. Bro. & Sis. Orand focused their entire lives of teamwork in full time service, no matter the circumstances. Since Bro. Orand's passing in early 2006, Sis. Orand carries on the vision and anointing in the works of the ministry.

| Sister Margaret Orand was raised up in the appreciation of all the wonderful things that God had made, pictured here with one of her younger brothers at her families farm and ranch. She learned early on the importance of 'feeding the lambs' of God. She continues today through example and gifted ministry to feed and minister to His lambs and sheep. Bro. Orand has said of his wife many times - she is a true Proverbs 31 woman, for truly her life has been known 'among the elders in the gates of the city'. She is one that truly believes that with God, nothing is impossible. |  |

Bro. Orand was raised in an historic church in Abilene, Texas where his parents, James and Opal Orand raised him in the Word of God and the way that he should go. His life is a testimony, for when he was old, 36 years old, he surrendered his life to the ministry, and for over 25 years fought the good fight of faith! | ||
