Don Moen, an iconic voice in Christian music, was honored last week with a special award highlighting his international influence. During the 50th Anniversary Gala, Oral Roberts University (ORU) honored Moen with the Lifetime Global Achievement Award. The award was presented to Moen by ORU President William M. Wilson. "Don is one of the most gifted worship ministers of our generation," said Wilson. "His ability to bring an audience with him into God's presence is astounding. Don has journeyed to the 'uttermost bounds of the earth' with the music of our King in a variety of ways. His integrity, passion and character speak volumes. All of this makes Don a very worthy recipient of ORU's Lifetime Global Achievement Award." Moen said he was honored to receive the award. “It is an incredible honor to receive this award, and I am humbled to be included in the group of distinguished recipients," said Moen. "ORU has played a significant role in the direction of my life. It’s where I met my wife Laura, and it’s where I met Terry Law and joined Living Sound, starting my lifelong career in music ministry. I’m excited to see what the next 50 years holds in store for ORU and the lives of the students they are impacting.” |
