"Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me" ("Amplified Bible, Classic Edition").
God’s desire that all Christians might become one took root within Courtney.
“The meeting between my grandfather and the Pope reminded me of the importance of remembering that we’re all on the same side,” Courtney says. “That despite our divisions, we’re actually one community in the Body of Christ. One version of the Bible says that on the day of Pentecost, they were in one place, in one accord, and heaven filled their home.
“That verse in Acts 2 reminded me that being together in one accord was so powerful that it changed the atmosphere and brought heaven to earth. As I pondered that, I realized that one way we can get our hearts in one accord is through worship.
“Last year, the Lord reminded me that there are still people right here at home who need to hear the gospel. In response, I formed a new ministry called ONE. ONE exists to celebrate unity in the Body of Christ and create opportunities to develop relationship through missions and presence-driven worship experiences.
“We are passionate about bringing the uncompromised truth of God’s Word to all people through every available voice. We produced a worship album called ONE//WORSHIP, which reached No. 7 on the iTunes Christian/Gospel charts. During the Southwest Believers’ Convention last year, we led an evening of worship. In addition, Reaction Tour made two trips to India and one to Uganda last year as well.”
Courtney Copeland Acuña has taken Reaction Tour back to Uganda at least once a year since the first time she landed there hoping to remain anonymous. It was there, in Africa, that her connection with Pastor Dongo sparked such a strong reaction that it forever changed her life. She has continued to steward that spark, just like she stewards the anointing of her grandparents, releasing it to thousands of children in Uganda and India, and creating a chain reaction that is changing the world.
