Turkeys for Tulsans

It has been a year now since we last provided Christmas dinner to more than 1000 families all across Tulsa County. What joy it was last year to fill home after home with armfulls of love... turkeys, groceries, and in many cases, even Christmas gifts.

This year, we are ready to do the same, but we will add one very important step: after we deliver a turkey to a home, they will be offered a chance to receive help throughout the year to leave poverty once and for all.

When you give this year, please take time to prayerfully choose whether you will give to provide turkeys or if you will provide turkeys plus additional household support.

Additional support can include household furniture, appliances, clothes, tutoring programs for the children, car repair, medical assistance, discipleship classes, job training, or a host of other services geared to transforming lives from poverty to purpose.

And don't forget the value of your TIME. We would like to invite you to serve as a mentor of one of these families over the next year. If you would like to serve as a mentor, you will be invited to attend a class on the third Monday of every month. There you will learn how to show God's love to someone who is lost, hurting or broken, how to minister healing and justice, and how to encourage them on the road to a whole new life!

Thank you for all of your past support. Please keep it coming as we take gradual steps each year to go deeper and deeper in this life-transforming ministry of Jesus Christ.

Yours truly,
