Nursing Home Ministry Update - March 2018

Sapulpa/Stillwater

We had a great first meeting. This is a new facility started in an existing building. (It's only a few months old.) There are approx. 4-5 residents until they get state approve for more. It was very noticeable that the staff and residents love the Lord. They both brought their Bibles to the service and looked up all the scriptures. Hallelujah!

Barnsdall/Fairfax

Barnsdall - some pretty amazing people. They do not hesitate to show their love for the Lord. We lifted our hands and our voices for quite a while praising the Lord. Then, we looked into the Word and saw that we have become the righteousness of God in Christ. Time for some more shouting! it was a great morning.

Muskogee/Muskogee

Another very good service this morning. This facility understands the importance of the Word. As a result, many residents are brought in. Hands were in the air, once again, as we praised the Lord. At the close several were ready to rededicate themselves to the Lord.

Claremore/Nowata

Last month I was not able to come to Claremore because of bad weather. When I showed up today, they were not expecting me. Boy did they scurry fast when they saw that I was there. This is an Alzheimer unit so we do a lot of singing. "Oh, how I love Jesus", "Jesus is the sweetest name I know" are just a few of the wonderful hymns we sang this morning. It's always exciting to watch them "wake up" to the Word of God. Now it's on to Nowata.

Pryor/Jay

It was quit a morning in Pryor. We've got some residents that are stepping it up a notch in their singing. Wow, they do like to sing. We spent the entire time singing. Staff, family, and residents filled the room.

Tulsa/Pawnee

One of the women in the service this morning said, "We've had church!" She was right. We did have church. It was wonderful. I asked them, "Who goes to church on Monday morning?" And they said, "We do!" There was a couple who came into the service and announced they have been married for 60 years. That's something you don't see to often anymore. We are lifting up the name of Jesus everywhere we go. Jesus Is Lord!

Henryetta/ Okmulgee

The presence of God was certainly experienced this morning. We talked about our right standing in God. I asked the big question this morning. "How many here are saved?" Every hand in the room went up! So, I said, "If you have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior then you have right standing with God." There was a peace that filled the room. We began to sing again and every hand in the place went up to praise him.

Muskogee/McAlester

We had quit a time this morning. The activities department knows this is not just another activity. This is ministry and they bring everyone in accordingly. Our thrust is: Strengthening The Saved - Saving The Lost. In these services there is something for everyone, saved and unsaved alike. Several years ago I asked the Lord to put me in situations where we can build His Kingdom. Nursing home facilities seems to be a "black hole" not many people want to enter. We are going in. Jesus Is Lord in the nursing homes.

Muskogee/Wilburton

We have moved to a new area of the facility. It is bigger and more noticeable. We had a great meeting this morning. Now, it's on to Wilburton.
