Recap of Trip

After several days on the road, fellowship with old and new friends, we are finally home. We had good size crowds for all the churches. Last night, we closed out at Ceder Ridge Christian Church where Chris Keith and Brryan Jackson both shared their testimonies. Chris (lost his whole family at age 5 and was shot in the head) brought his family with him to share the wonderful grace of God for his first time last night. He and Brryan both did a really good job.

As everyone was leaving, an older man and his daughter came up to me and Joe and began to share what God had done for them in the past weeks. It turns out that her dad left her family when she was three. At some point, he and his friend killed and then threw someone off a bridge. He spent several years in prison only to get out more recently for Battered Child Syndrome. Less than two weeks ago, he made a facebook, found his 1 out of 10 children and they met in Tulsa for the concert last night. He has been clean since 1993 he says. Just goes to show how powerful God really is.

After dinner with the minister at 11:30 last night, Brryan reminded my dad of how he need a post card for his collection. After three quick trips, a Target and a Walmart, we finally decided to skip it. In doing so, we got lost in Tulsa for 2 more hours. Once finally on the right highway, we stopped at a Flying J and found him a post card. We left Tulsa at 1:45.
Overall, its been a great trip. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for the future!
