December Leaders



We are pleased to report the following UPDATED NEO District leaders for December 2011:





I Want to Celebrate...


James Wilson, Pawhuska. . . Our Annual Christmas Children's Program was a huge success this year as five sets of parents whose children attend but they do not stayed for church. Distributed 30 gift bags at our local nursing home for Christmas.

Tim Odom, Collinsville. . . 9 baptisms!

Mark Hiehle, Claremore. . . Three people accepted Jesus as their Savior and Lord and 2 were baptized.  The third will be baptized in January.  God is moving and we are praying for a great harvest in 2012!

Prady Thimmaiah, Nowata. . . Had great Advent and Christmas Services.

Steve Davis, Sapulpa. . .

  • Repeat new attendees finding a home here
  • Greater unity in the body
  • Adult small group studies going well
  • Moving of God’s Holy Spirit in our services
  • New students in youth Ministry
  • Breaking the 200 barrier on several Sundays

Scott Behm, Chelsea. . . We have had a wonderful month filled with celebrations, with the highlight being our Christmas week services.  Our teen night Christmas party went well early in the month.  On Christmas day our children came together to offer a gift of music to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We had a children’s chorus of 14 children and a three piece band share Christ’s love in seven Christmas hymns as the focal point of our Christmas service. We also had a teenage girl profess her love for Christ and receive the sacrament of baptism on that day.  She, the others in attendance, nor will I ever forget her baptism.  She elected to enter the bitter cold waters of Lake Oolagah to have a baptism of full immersion. We also had a wonderful all church Christmas dinner party. God is at work in our little church we are seeing lives changed and new people asking Christ to help them have a new and closer walk with Him.  We closed out the year by having a New Year’s Eve celebration focused on and for the children and their families to end the calendar year in a fun celebration with God’s Children.

Brad Farnsworth, Connection. . . Held a Christmas Celebration for the residents of Observation Point Apts. Pastor Don played the part of Santa, and children(and some adults) had their pictures taken with him. Food bags were handed out to needy residents.

David Stevens, Vinita. . . Again the Christmas Season is the highlight of the calendar year. God is helping us in spite of some problems, particularly illness.

Carl Brown, Hominy. . .A wonderful Christmas Season with many wonderful people and the presence of the Spirit in every Service. We had over 100 attend our Christmas Program and were able to give help to families that were in need this Christmas. Christ is alive and sending forth his love to all of us. Amen
