Wewoka

It was so good to be back in Wewoka. These residents are hungry for the Word and worshiping God through singing the great hymns of the church. Tears began to flow as we sang. There were many hugs as we comforted those whose loved ones had gone on to be with the Lord and those who have just come back from the hospital. We are family so we care for one another.

Okemah

Wow, it was a busy morning in Okemah - meetings, meetings, meetings. I had not been put on their calendar for today and they did not have time to gather people together. The staff had several Monday morning meetings scheduled. I said, "That's Okay, you take care of your meetings and I'll take care of the service." I started the music, we started to sing, and the rest is history. Residents heard the music and started filing in. One resident yelled out, "This is better than Charlie Chan." I thought to myself, I certainly hope so.

We are lifting up the name of Jesus throughout eastern Oklahoma.

During a time of prayer

I truly believe we are making connections that are bigger than what we know. We are making personal connections, we are making spiritual connections, but we are making connections for the future. There are ministry things that are coming that we are not aware of yet.

Keep your spiritual antenna up and stay in an attitude of prayer. You have not heard the end of layered ministry. You have no idea what you are capable of. We have a capacity in God that goes far beyond what the natural can imagine. Take my yoke which is easy. And, take my burden which is light.

Okmulgee

I was very impressed With Highland Park Manor this morning. This was my first service here. The staff brought a lot of residents into the room, complete with pulpit. I met several residents who have known the Lord for several years. Some have been pastors and some have been missionaries. They love to hear the Word. I think everyone should have the ability to go to a good Word church. And so, We are bringing the Word into nursing care facilities all throughout eastern Oklahoma.

Heartshorne

I have not been in Heartshorne for very long but we have already become very close. We are family. We are making a difference. Many of these smaller communities do not have the resources that we can provide. Several years ago I said, "Lord, I want to help you build your kingdom." I know that may sound strange. But, we are His hands, we are His feet, and we are His voice. We can make a difference and we are making a difference in nursing and assisted care facilities throughout eastern Oklahoma.

Strengthening The Saved - Saving The Lost

Muskogee

We had some new residents in the service this morning. It's really great to see how the veteran residents make the new residents welcome. We lifted our hands and voices to the Lord. What a great service. I asked them, "Who goes to church on Thursday morning?" I guess we do! It is a great honor to minister to these folks. We are family!

Claremore

This morning was a very emotional morning. It seems the hymns brought up many good memories. Tears with smiles filled the room. Many residents were singing the hymns by heart. I've always been fascinated how music works on the mind. The Word of God put to music is power to the soul. Praise the Lord.

Tulsa

I want to thank this mornings activity director for doing such a great job bringing residents into the service. We had a wonderful time together singing and looking at what the Lord had for us in His Word. After the service, there was a family gathering around a loved one who was preparing to take her trip to heaven. I had the opportunity to speak and pray with the family. Our mandate is always to: Strengthen The Saved - Save The Lost

Quinton

This afternoon I saw a resident I have known for several years. The first time I met him, he was in Tahlequah. Then I didn't see him for a while but found him in Muskogee. After that I saw him in Eufaula. Now, he is in Quinton. He is alone and he is lonely. Most of his time was spent crying, during the service. This is Easter weekend. Many of us will be busy doing a variety of "Easter things" and we will be with family and friends. I ask that you remember to pray for the residents and staff who live and work in nursing and assisted care facilities. If you know some one personally, swing by and say "Hi". It will mean more than you know. The resident? We talked for a while and then I gave him a big bear hug. We were both blessed.

Stigler

On this Friday before Easter, isn't it good to know that Jesus is alive. He is risen! We can put out trust and confidence in Him. We raised our hands and our voices to the King of Kings, Jesus.
