Overflowing Joy
My heart is full and overflowing as I hear how God is at work in NEO churches. Surely this is in response to God’s people humbling themselves and crying out to God in repentance and faith. Let’s continue to draw near to God during these 40 Days of Prayer with Fasting.

I was privileged to preach in Bristow last Sunday. What a delight to see the way God is restoring this church under the leadership of Pastor Larry and Cathy Allen. I met with the Church Board and, with their recommendation, have removed the interim from Pastor Larry’s title. Good days are ahead in Bristow!

Pastor Jim Thornton told me on Monday that Tulsa Hills has 17 kids going to NYI Mid-Winter Retreat. Guess how many youth they have in the church? 17. Think of the impact this could have on their church!

Prayer for Parsonage Families
I appreciate the dedication of our members to pray for their pastors and their immediate families. For some reason, many of our pastors or spouses are facing major health issues with their parents. Let’s pray for:

·Pastor Scottie Behm (Chelsea), who recently was in Florida with his mother who had a mass removed from her bladder.

·Anita Hiehle (Claremore) who spent a week in Ohio with her mom who had open heart surgery.

·Pastor Jim Thornton (Tulsa Hills), who rushed to New Mexico to be with his parents last week as his Dad was dealing with a health challenge.

·Mandy Alsop’s Mom has moved in with Pastor Ryan and Mandy (Wagoner) as she goes through chemo for ovarian cancer.

·Pastor Rodney Amos (Tulsa First) has twice been to Texas to help with arrangements for his dad who experienced a life-saving miracle.
