OKC 2017 Team Presentation

On 6/11/2017, the team shared with our friends, supporters and some of the Sunday school classes.

In our last official event as a team, we had an overview of the trip, then four newbies came up to share their experiences.

Craig K – Team Intro: (1:15)
Jeff H – Recap work performed (5:02)

Kevin T (via video) (8:29) :
was on the road, but wanted to share his story both of how circumstances allowed him to go on the trip, and what he learned as part of that process.

Brandon (19:32) :
spoke on the opportunity to go on the trip, previously knowing few people on the team, and moments of quiet, humility and God’s goodness during the trip

Roz (30:29) :
had an unexpected healing moment that could only come in community of church and a supportive family.

Kevin L (45:10) :
shared from the perspective of a dad, and how that related to his relationship with his Heavenly Father, God.

Video (52:39) :
And we wrapped it up with Jimmy’s video, ending in Chris H’s touching prayer on our last day on site.

Thanks to Gary M for shooting and editing this video!

OKC 2017 Presentation Video

We had our team presentation at church this morning, and we’ll have video of the testimonies and sharing soon.

But we wanted to share with you the video portion that we presented, a 15 minute recap of our trip.

Thanks to Jimmy for editing the video, and for all who contributed to the videos and photos during the trip, and for Gary editing from home while we were out in OKC

OKC 2017 Children’s message and Kids’ church

Children’s Message

At Evergreen, part of our service specifically addresses the kids.

Our team got the opportunity to share today. Roz led the time, and asked some questions of the kids, and of the team too. 


Immediately after the Children’s message, we went to the Kids’ Church room, where some of the younger kids in our church have their own special service.

Meet our team-Roz

Roz

As we return to Oklahoma City (OKC), we welcome a few first-timers, or newbies, as we affectionately call them. Roz Endow is one of our two women newbies, and jumped at the opportunity to help the team by organizing our Children’s message, where we speak with the children of the church.

Hi, this is Rosalind (Roz) Endow. My husband, John and I, have been coming to Evergreen for about 6 years now. I’m a 56 year old mother of four college age and up children. I am a part time dental hygienist.
I spend most of my free time studying and preparing to lead my BSF group. Last year I felt the Lord prompting me to go on mission but I had my excuses. I felt I was too old, I had never been on mission before and didn’t know what I would be getting myself in to, the timing wasn’t right because it was during the BSF study and I didn’t want to miss a class, and I couldn’t afford the time and expense.  This year the Lord wanted me to go despite my excuses so I applied and left it in His hands. By His grace my application was accepted and it is my prayer to experience Him, on mission, glorified in ways I have never seen before. God is faithful in calling me to go to OKC as He has provided by sending me with an experienced group, some in my generation, some with little experience like me and many friendly and familiar faces. I am looking forward to new blessings and stretching of my faith as I step out of my comfort zone. 

Please pray for me to be a good listener and to learn new skills quickly so I may be useful. Pray for me to have a gracious attitude no matter how tired I get or what I am asked to do. Pray for my love for the Lord and my fellow missionaries to increase and for me to decrease. I know God has plans for me this year at OKC and look forward to glorifying Him and for blessings through my obedience.
