Stigler

I have been in Stigler since 2010. We have seen a lot of changes but one thing never changes - the love and power of God. Many of the residents in nursing homes are toward the end of their natural life. It is a priority of this ministry to make sure they are aware of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. One cannot make a clear decision for Him unless you know who He is and why He came.

We raised our hands to the Lord and rejoiced in His goodness and love. There is a woman who comes here from 15 miles away. She lives out in the country but comes to visit with the residents and be in the service. She said,"I have your schedule at home because I need this!"

Strengthening The Saved - Saving The Lost

Muskogee

For some of the residents, coming to these services is easy. For others, coming to these services is a physical and mental challenge. If they can come and press into God they will be better in every way: spiritually, mentally, and physically. This morning there were many who came needing the power of God in their life. We prayed for peace, physical healing, and renewed relationships. God is good and has the answer for every need. The Bible says, Where two or three are gathered together in His name there He is in the midst. He was there this morning and we were blessed!

Wilburton

We are growing at Tidwell because Tidwell is growing. What a wonderful group of people. This was the largest group yet. I met a couple who came in to visit residents. They stayed for the service and talked with me afterward. They are ombudsman in some other nursing homes and want to provide services in those facilities. I encouraged them to do so. We will provide music, song sheets, outlines, and CD's, if they want.

Tulsa / Bartlesville

Tulsa
I get so thrilled to see residents raising their hands in praise to God. Before the service started the activities director pointed out a resident and then said,"She needs some extra lovin'. She's had a hard morning." During the service she raised her hands, and with tears in her eyes, praised the Lord. After the service she said,"I needed this!" Isn't God good. As we press into Him, He meets our every need.

Bartlesville
We are now in Bartlesville! The Lord gave me a directive to go into 25 counties in eastern Oklahoma. Washington county is #21. I'll be starting in March.

Wagoner

There were only 10 in the service this morning however, one rededicated his life to the Lord and another was inquiring about being filled with the Holy Spirit. Never underestimate what might happen based on the size of the crowd.

Being led by the Holy Spirit does not mean you will always have crowds. It does mean you will be at the right place, at the right time, for the right reason. Being led by the Holy Spirit is the most exciting life you could ever live. Now, it's on to Sallisaw.

Eufaula

This morning it just seemed like we should have a singspiration. Several residents and visitors came in and we all wanted to sing. Amazing Grace, Are You Washed In The Blood, Because He Lives, is just a few of the songs we sang. What a great way to start a Friday.

We continue to:

Strengthen The Saved - Save The Lost

All throughout eastern Oklahoma and beyond.

Muskogee

It seemed like the room was charged this morning. The residents were singing before the music started. We looked at the Love of God. It is the Best gift, the Biggest gift, and the most Powerful gift you could ever receive.

Warner

The Warner nursing home has facilities that allow it to care for a variety of people. This morning there were elderly in the group. But, there were also those on ventilators, and some younger people who have a variety of issues that require full-time care. This morning we had a young gal wheeled in whom I had never seen before. She was in a geri chair. I would have guessed her to be 8 to 10 years old. She has some mental and physical disabilities and just as cute as a bug. She would start to get upset during the service so I would go to her and put my hand on her shoulder or arm. When I did she would quiet down. After the service I discovered she has been here for a while but never came out. When she came to the facility she only weighed 50 lbs. Then the shocker, she is 21 years old.

I remember back in the 80's, during the Christmas season, going to a county children's home and seeing an entire facility filled with kids like this. Many of those kids had been abandoned and left for the county to care for. Now days they are assimilated into care facilities that have the ability to care for them. God has a very big heart for kids like this and so do I.

Several years ago, I had rededicated my life to the Lord and wanted to be used more than ever before. I said, “Lord, put me in situations and circumstances where I can be used the most.” I felt that I should be doing more than I was. I said, “Lord, put me on the fast track. Let’s build Your kingdom. Let’s strengthen the saved and save the lost." I had no idea how He would answer that prayer. But, I am so thankful He called me to do what I am doing!

Tahlequah / Stilwell

THERE'S A NEW NAME WRITTEN DOWN IN GLORY. . .
It was wonderful to see the room fill up again. We praised the Lord with hands raised to our God. He is worthy to be praised. Today, we talked about the love of God. He is the greatest gift we could ever receive.



At the close of the service a woman said, "I've gone to church all my life but I don't know if I'm saved." We prayed together and when she said, "Jesus is my Lord," she began to cry. God is so good!

It seems as though at the end of every day I could write a book about what happened throughout the day.

This afternoon after the service a resident said, she had been praying yesterday that God would send someone to sing and preach the Word. She could no longer go to church and she was so hungry for the Word. Then, with tears in her eyes, she said, And then, today, you came. Her CNA was standing next to her and she began to cry. The resident said she could no longer walk because of arthritis. She said, "Would you pray for me?" So, the three of us held hands and we prayed to our wonderful Lord. He is the healer.

Glenpool / Chandler

This is the first time I've ministered in Glenpool in the morning. I changed my schedule to the first and third Mondays at 10am. There was a little scurrying but we all got together and had a wonderful time. (Any time there's change it takes a little time to adjust.)
We raised our hands and magnified our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Then, we looked at His Overwhelming Love. It's: 1) the Best, 2) the Biggest, and 3) the most Powerful gift. After the service there were many residents who wanted prayer for healing.

This afternoon was real surprise. I went to Chandler to set up a new nursing home. As I was talking to the activities director she said, "What are you doing now?" I wasn't doing anything. So, I went to my car, gathered my things, brought them in and we had a service. It was wonderful. We continue to expand in this 75 mile radius.
