Tahlequah

I am forever grateful to God who is faithful. When people press into Him, He will always honor that. This morning we had residents who honored the Lord. They pressed into Him through praise and worship. One resident wanted me to pray for his neck. (So many times they are not expecting me to stop what I'm doing and pray right then. But I do.) I laid my hands on his neck and prayed God's healing power to do a mighty work through his neck and through his entire body. He opened his eye's wide and said, "The pain is gone!" Praise the Lord. Now it's on to Stilwell.

Chandler

Here we are. (Me and my supporters.) We are in Chandler and ready to Praise The Lord. I think that because this is Monday and May 1st, not all of the activities calender's have been updated yet. The crowds have been low to start with then grow as residents hear the music. We had a good time. You know that when residents want big bear hugs at the close of the service they were glad we/they came. We are touching lives with the Word of God. One gal was new to the facility, since the last time I was hear. (She is here for therapy.) She acted like she wanted to extend her stay so she would be here the next time I came. Isn't the Word wonderful. We continue to: Strengthen The Saved - Save The Lost.

As I entered these doors this morning I had a new sense of providing safety for the residents. Let me explain. I spoke with a nursing home administrator over the weekend and learned a new dimension in caring for the residents. In some cases there are people (residents) who are being protected or hidden from family, friends, etc. as a result of neglect or abuse. If pictures of these people should appear on the internet, and there location should be discovered, it would not be a good thing. Do to privacy regulations I do not know who these people are. As a result of this new information I have decided to stop taking pictures of the residents unless it has been okayed by the staff. (Not just here but with every nursing home.) I want the safest environment possible for these precious people. I will continue to put out pictures but not of the actual residents.

We did have another wonderful time this morning. As we started to sing, residents came. Hands were raised to our wonderful Lord. Then, we looked into the Word. Last month we looked at, "Why Did Jesus Come?" This month we are looking at, "Why Did Jesus Go?" We looked at the fact that Jesus said, He had to go so He could send the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit could not come until Jesus left. And, we love the Holy Spirit. He is our Comfort and our Guide.

Barnsdall

All I can say is WOW! The staff tell me we had residents in the service that had not responded to anyone for months. I didn't know that because everyone was responding. Those that were constantly 'on the go' had settled down and those that were not responding came alive. It was certainly not me. I had no idea. It was the loving, healing, power of God. This facility truly honors God. It makes such a difference. We continue to: Strengthen The Saved - Saved The Lost

Muskogee

This afternoon, before the service ever started, some of the residents were talking about several people who had gone on to be with the Lord. What they said was, "They're dead." I could tell they were sad. The kind of sad that you would have if you lost something and thought that you would never see it again. I had a chance to help them. They were not seeing death in the right light. Death, for the Christian, is a doorway to heaven. The apostle Paul said, To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Death is not the end of life. It is changing locations to a better life. We will see them again. We can put them in our future. Well, there was a lot of ministery that went on before the service and then we had a good service. I am so thankful I am doing what I am doing. There are many people in nursing care facilities who have no one. The Lord said, "Go, to strengthen the saved and save the lost."

Muskogee

I have known many of these residents since 2009, which is when the Lord called me into this ministry. Some have gone on to be with the Lord but many are still here. We have grown in the Lord together. This is one of the largest groups that I minister to. This facility is amazing. The activities workers look over the residents. If someone is missing from the service they will find them and bring them in. They want to come but sometimes they just forget.
We raised our hands to the Lord and gave Him praise this morning. He is worthy of all our praise.

Pawnee

I have been trying to get established in Pawnee for probably 6 months. I think we have arrived. Scheduling has been the main thing. Today, it just worked. It was wonderful. There are many residents who love to sing the old hymns. That brings in others, out of curiosity. We had a great group today. There were even some staff people who came in to sing. We continue to spread the good news that Jesus is Lord. We are now in 25 counties and 37 nursing homes throughout eastern Oklahoma. We continue to: Strengthen The Saved - Save The Lost.

Broken Arrow

For those of you who do not live in the Tulsa area or Oklahoma for that matter, It's been storming last night and today. For me, that's good sleeping weather. I didn't sleep in today but I think a lot of people did. This morning was a pretty light service. I know the residents who didn't show up and I know they will be disappointed when they find out they missed the service. I also know not to wake them up. There will be another day. There were a hand full who came and for those of us who were there, we had a great time together. We lifted our hands and our voices to the Lord. Then, we got into the Word. This ministry has been very determined to be consistent with services and service times right from the beginning. We will be back and God will continue to move, that is certain.

Vinita

The Vinita service just continues to grow. The residents and staff have a real heart to hear the Word of God. This picture is only half the group. We talked about the reasons why Jesus came. Then, at the close of the service I gave an invitation to accept Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior. It was a very powerful time. Our mandate is very clear. We are: Strengthening The Saved - Saving The Lost

Inola

We had a wonderful 'first meeting' in Inola. Several residents and staff came in. They loved the music. We could have sung the whole time. We did look into the Word of God and answered this question, Why Did Jesus Come? I met a resident who is a Rhema grad. She has a Bible study and is the resident Chaplain. We are going to have a great time here!
