You 3.0 World Changer Robert LeTourneau

Our Verse: “...anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works...” John 14:12
In this series, we are discussing the incredible possibility that you, one human, can change the world. You are listening to this because God is calling you to change the world. Buckle up! Ears and heart open to God's adventures for you!
We learned earlier that world changers do two things: they change people inside, their minds, their thoughts, or they change the physical world around them. And best of all, world changers can do both- change people and improve the world.
Could this be you? Jesus said we could do “even greater works” than Him, and said later, “Ask for Anything!” That is an amazing promise! John 14:13
Let's consider one human who did both these things, RG LeTourneau. Born in 1888, he was a restless young man. He did many things- farmer, logger, iron worker, welder, designer. His life work became engineering and the invention of machinery.
At a young age, he became a Christian, a Jesus follower. He made many mistakes, was often prideful, but he continued to grow, spiritually and professionally. Eventually, he designed and built gigantic machines. These machines changed the world. In many countries, Bob's machines built the roads and dams we use today.
He started an engineering school, LeTourneau University. Thousands of people have built careers in engineering and affected the world for good.
Mr. LeTourneau helped people around the world, always stating that God was his boss.
Could you be like Bob LeTourneau in the 21st Century? For 2025? For 2085? Yes... Absolutely, Yes!
Ask God for strength- both spiritual and intellectual, to leave your mark on the planet. He will be your strength!
More about World Changer Bob and LeTourneau University:
He was a inventor/designer in the field of earth moving. He started his work life as an iron foundry laborer. In his time, dirt was moved by men and horses. It was slow and backbreaking work, often debilitating, sometimes fatal. RG thought there must be a better way, so he decided to invent equipment that would mechanize the process. He invented the first mechanical road grader. That led to the first mechanical earth moving machine. About this time, World War II began. He was tasked with others, including Henry Kaiser, to build equipment for the war effort. He produced an amazing 50%+ of the earth moving machines for the war effort world wide, literally millions of dollars worth of equipment. He continued his work after the war, converting an A-26 surplus bomber to civilian use to increase his travel ability, even across oceans. He left a great spiritual and social legacy, building special communities and orphanages in Africa and the Far East.
In 1946, he established LeTourneau Technical Institute in Longview, Texas. There are 5 schools in various disciplines with one of the best engineering schools available.
In 1989 LeTourneau Tech became LeTourneau University, a SACSCOC and ABET accredited, nondenominational Christian university, offering four-year and two-year degree programs in engineering, technology, the liberal arts, business, aeronautical science, education, and the sciences, plus master's degree programs in business and education.
The school's Yellow Ribbon Program is available to “any veteran who honorably served on active duty for at least 3 years since September 11, 2001.”
