Dear
NEO family,
Every
week I hear reports of God working in the lives and churches in NEO. That is
especially true in revival campaigns in our churches:
We
had a great revival with Dr. Chic Shaver and Sufficient Grace. It began
with a tremendous seminar on Saturday on Witnessing Without Fear. Many people
found the Lord for the first time or came back to him. Some people were
wonderfully filled with the Holy Spirit. It was the first revival in the
church since anyone in the church can remember. We are already planning
a spring revival with Rev. Scott Ferguson. We had 70 people there on our last
night of the revival. God is so good.
- Pastor Larry Allen, Bristow
We
have been praying for a mighty move of God for a very long time. It is
beginning. It is a joy to listen to God speak to us through Dan Bohi. It
is evident that he has spent the time to seek God, to know His word and to
preach it with anointing. I especially love the way he integrates scriptures
from all over the sacred text into a coherent theme and message. ...While it
is obvious he has done his homework in studying Bible scholars, ultimately he
listens to God and His Word and not to man.
Sunday
Morning we had 160 of our best people respond to the call for being
sanctified by the filling of the Holy Spirit. As I listened to his message,
the Holy Spirit challenged me about my fruitfulness. This Pastor went
forward, crying out to God to make me a great witness to lead many more to
Christ. I am guessing that most who responded were folk who are good solid
Christians like me who are not satisfied to just be good and have some
effectiveness.
Monday
night there were waves and waves of response for forgiveness, for healing of
depression, guilt and the body.
- Pastor Geoff Gunter, Tulsa Regency Park
Dan
Bohi will be our speaker at Spiritual Renewal Week, January 25 – 27, 2013.
Three
of our churches have scheduled revival meetings for Oct. 7 – 10:
·
Barnsdall with Dr. Ark Noel as evangelist
·
Claremore with Kirk Zahniser as evangelist
·
Sand Springs with Dr. Curtis Lewis as evangelist
Let’s
join in prayer for these efforts and attend as you are able.

In a
recent meeting of all Southern Nazarene University faculty and staff,
President Loren Gresham announced SNU’s fall enrollment stands as the third
highest student count in the institution’s 114 year history.
A traditional student enrollment of 1,096 and a census day record in Professional and Graduate Studies of 1,088 accounted for SNU’s fall enrollment total of 2,184. The traditional student enrollment figure reflects an outstanding spring-to-fall increase of 12.3 percent and includes a first-time student count of 390. "This increase in enrollment represents a lot of hard work over the past year from the people on our campus," Gresham said. "Each member of our faculty and staff has played a valuable role in this accomplishment." |

Quote
of the Month from Oklahoma Marriage Initiative
Love
isn’t perfect. It isn’t a fairy tale or a story book, and it doesn’t always
come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be
together, holding on and never letting go. Love is work, but most of all,
love is realizing that every hour, every minute, every second of it was worth
it because you did it… together.
