Mission OKAG
Wilma and I are grateful for the opportunity to provide pastoral care and oversight for our 160 global workers serving at home and abroad. We count it an incredible privilege to represent those who have left their families and comforts of home to venture forth in response to a sovereign call that God has placed upon their lives. Many find themselves in places bereft of the gospel message, which gives them ample opportunity to share but is also fraught with peril and resistance. PLEASE PRAY!
Our network supports colleagues who share the gospel in over 50 nations. THE SUN NEVER SETS ON OUR OKAG FAMILY, taking the message of our risen Christ to a lost world. Workers from our OKAG network are church planting in Europe, raising tabernacles in Africa, distributing Fire Bibles in war-torn Ukraine, and assisting refugees in Israel and central Europe. In closed countries, the gospel is shared over steaming mugs of tea; in English language classes, the Holy Spirit gives revelation. Our workers spend countless hours at a computer translating the scriptures into languages where the Bible has never existed. Every day, new Bible courses are being written within the context of local culture, enabling millions to interact with God’s Word. Imagine the effect on future generations yet unborn who can study the Word because of our willingness to invest at this critical moment in our history.
We are thankful that in 2024, 13 workers completed itineration and are now ministering in the Middle East, the universities of Europe, in Spain, and church planting in England and Africa. In our own state, Afghan refugees are being ministered to daily. Two new couples have been approved this year as missionary candidates: Nathan and Emily Blackmore, with their two children, are currently itinerating with Liverpool, England, as their goal. Also, with their six sons, Aaron and Ashley Withington continue an Oklahoma legacy of over eighty years in Japan. What an amazing opportunity we have to invest in taking the gospel to the nations of the world!

Compassion OKAG
OKAG Compassion is intentional about assisting, resourcing, and supporting ministers and churches in Oklahoma. We demonstrate compassion for the orphan and widow (James 1:27), the poor (2 Thes. 3:7-10), the prisoner (Matt. 25:36-40), and the hungry (Matt. 25:35).
Over the past two years, OKAG Compassion has been working together to meet the needs of foster families and vulnerable children in Oklahoma. 111 Project is one of the organizations the OKAG has partnered with to serve families and children in crisis. 111 Project facilitates a resource called Care Portal, which connects churches to meet the growing needs to support and stabilize families in crisis. In 2023, OKAG churches met 598 care portal requests, served 1,322 children, and made an economic impact of $705,677! Today, more than 84 churches are participating in Care Portal.
Compact Family Services partners with us and is a foster care licensing agency in Oklahoma. They have recently approved the first foster family from one of our Assemblies of God churches. This home is available and ready to receive placement of children in need. We are excited to see God continue to move in the hearts of families in our Assemblies of God churches to serve as foster homes.

There were 8 church renovation projects
14 missing youths found
And finally, 1,488 salvations!
