Football Players and Coaches Enjoy a Successful Servant Event in Oklahoma

OGT worked with Oklahoma Disaster Relief program to set up a servant event with Concordia University Nebraska football players and coaches in Okmulgee, OK. In one week, they replaced two roofs with OGT providing food & bedding, OK Disaster Relief providing materials and tools and First United Methodist Church providing use of their facilities for this event. Okmulgee is one of the lowest economic communities in Oklahoma and the people in the city were some of the kindest people to the guys. They showed great faith in our conversation as the we talked with the people. Okmulgee homeless numbers have tripled in the last three years. We formed a special relationship with one family in Okmulgee, pictured is the family eating with the workers. A special thank you to Bill McAllister in helping organize this awesome week of Bible study and servant event. The local food bank was thrilled to receive the remainder of the food not used during the week-long event. This was a very successful first servant event for OGT!
