Bill
Hilton, Tulsa Living Hope. . . I am encouraging the
church to pray and seek the Lord's guidance regarding the open door He has
prepared for us to walk through. I'm not yet positive where that door leads
or what is beyond it. However, I am confident that if HE has opened it then
it must be good.
David
Stevens, Vinita. . . Vinita Nazarene is a great place to
worship! Our people care about their Church and about each other. We had an
older gentleman testify that he just got saved. Our ministerial students are
doing well in their studies and in their work for the Church.
Casey
Hollingsworth, Miami New Life. . . New baptisms and
members received into membership! We continue to experience weekly
"collisions" of God's mighty Presence! He always comes out
the winner in those! We leave feeling wrecked and undone by the
presence! We took 11 individuals from our church to the National
Awakening Prayer Conference ("Encounter"!) in Dallas. I
praise God for the refilling of His Spirit in our people who attended!
I can't wait to see how this is going to affect our church! There is so
much work left for Him to do!
Tim
Odom, Collinsville. . . On October 5th &
6th we had our 90th Celebration/Homecoming. We had a hayride on the 5th and a
great service and time together with Pastor Tommy Loving and Pastor Wayne
Thomas and other pastors. We had youth pastors, Jim Winfrey and Kevin
Williams, also other members who have made such an impact on our church. We
had a lot of sharing and reminiscing. A reminder of the call and challenge
for our church to do our best for Christ, because He has done His best for
us.
Cole
Weston, Okmulgee. . . Fearless Marriage class
is about to wrap up next month. Participation could be better, but those who
have come have learned a lot.
Scottie
Behm, Chelsea. . .
- Our congregation -- they
surprised me with a wonderful pastor appreciation dinner. It was a lot
of fun, with great food.
- We celebrate and honor with
great gratitude a large financial gift from the estates of long-term
members, Fred and Joan Hemphill.
- That we are seeing God at
work, answering prayer. We praise Him for His faithfulness and how we
are learning to be more “Radically” dependent on Him.
Brad
Farnsworth, Core Church at Aspen Creek. . .
We baptized 4 new people, including a mother and her two children.
Steve
Brown, Cleveland. . . We had a great October.
Each week the services seemed to build a stronger sense of the Holy Spirit as
people were praying and fasting leading up to the revival services and
continued throughout the month. We had several people seeking sanctification
during different nights of the revival. Many were challenged to spend more
time in prayer for our community. We had an average attendance of 38 each
night and many from the Pawhuska church made the trip each night to attend. I
really believe that God wants to do great things on the NW Zone and
throughout the NEO district. The excitement of revival has encourage many and
challenged all to live a more holy and surrendered life.
Larry
Allen, Bristow. . . We had our second annual Fall
Festival a few days ago. We had music, a power team called Radical U-Turn,
food, games for the kids, etc. We had over 150 people attend and the great
news is that 30 people gave their life to Christ. One of the power teams
mother came and was saved. Several new people to our church came forward and
so did other members of their family that attended our church for the first
time. The Holy Spirit was in attendance and the prayers and planning of our
people were rewarded greatly. It was a powerful night of fun,
fellowship and God. We had two new families show up that were looking for a
church and we are praising God for his goodness.
Georgina
Lopez, Cielos Abiertos. . . Four people were
saved this month.
Yalmi
Izaguirre, Regency Park Hispanic. . . We had a Friend
Day with a good attendance.
