In response to the recent winter weather disaster in Texas, United States, the Oakwood University Church (OUC) and Breath of Life television ministry conducted a “water drive,” collecting more than 30,000 bottles of water as well as other essential items, including socks, undergarments, gently used clothing, feminine products, and cleaning supplies. The items traveled by truck on February 22, 2021, from Huntsville, Alabama, to the Houston, Texas area.
The donated items were delivered to the World Harvest Seventh-day Adventist Church, a distribution site in Houston and a church where Carlton P. Byrd, current OUC senior pastor and speaker/director of Breath of Life, previously served as pastor. From there, the much-needed water was given to Houston residents, beginning at noon the following day.
