Northeast Oklahoma District Church of the Nazarene

Dear NEO family,


Greetings in the majestic name of Jesus! I pray you are walking by His Spirit today and experiencing his joy, peace and hope.

I am encouraged by the reports of those who attended the Prayer Conference at Crossroads Tabernacle in Fort Worth last week. Those who attended from Tulsa First, Sapulpa, Regency Park and Tulsa Central seemed to be carriers of revival in their home churches last Sunday. I pray that the wind of the Spirit would spread the fires of renewal across the District.

A message from our General Superintendents: The Board of General Superintendents is calling for a special Challenge 2010 World Evangelism Fund (WEF PLUS) Offering. We are asking that each member/regular attendee of the churches on your district be encouraged to give $10 to this special offering. This would be over and above Faith Promise and/or any other Thanksgiving Offering they might have committed to give.

We need every pastor to prayerfully lead their church to give generously and sacrificially in WEF PLUS. Again, this offering is in addition to Faith Promise and planned Thanksgiving Offerings, and it will provide immediate funding to Nazarene mission fields globally.

Prayer Requests:

Dr. Russell Human, District Superintendent Emeritus, has Spinal Stenosis (a shrinking of the spinal cord), which is causing him much pain. Surgery is being considered.

Angie Bentley is continuing to recover, but in a great deal of pain still with the magnitude of the surgery. Her newborn grandson is continuing to slowly gain weight and make some progress, but is facing possible surgery for the hole in his heart in the near future.

Jade Rogers has accepted a call to serve as Lead Pastor at Joplin Calvary Church of the Nazarene. Jade’s last Sunday at Bartlesville First, where he currently serves as Youth Pastor, is November 28.Let’s pray for the Rogers and the Bartlesville Church during this time of transition.

Marty Crossland’s mother, Lillie Fay Crossland, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday evening. Marty is the husband of our former office assistant, Vicki (who will be filling in for us again this next week).

Haiti is experiencing a cholera epidemic that already killed around 250 persons and more than 2000 are infected. The cholera is moving around the country and is killing more and more people. God is more than able to change the situation.

Elections in our cities, state and nation! For whom should you vote? You know that I can’t answer that. It’s your decision.. But I can urge you to vote. Every Christian should do the research, learn what issues are at stake, and then vote.

Have a great weekend!
