Northeast Oklahoma District Church of the Nazarene

Dear NEO family,


Greetings in the strong name of Jesus. I spoke on the phone a few minutes ago with a NEO layperson who was recently told by the doctor, “no one should have survived your condition.” But she is alive and on the road to recovery. Praise the name of the Lord. Nothing is too difficult for our God.

Nazarene Giving for World Evangelism. A recent edition of Christianity Today magazine had a spotlight on Overseas Mission Giving. In response to the question, “How much of each denomination’s church dollar goes to international ministries?” the Church of the Nazarene was second on the list at 6 cents. Once again I was thankful for the commitment of Nazarenes to support world evangelism efforts. We are commited to make Christlike disciples, not only in Northeast Oklahoma, but around the world. As we close out another church year, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have all of our churches reach 100% of our giving goals for World Evangelism!

Theologically Speaking, Monday, April 11, 6:30pm, Tulsa Central, Rm. 104. In this final session of the church year, Dr. Thomas Noble will speak on “Our Views on the Emergent Church and the Atonement.” All interested in thinking together on these important areas are welcome to attend.
