Equip Experience 2026 Update!
We are at the halfway point of this powerful conference, at Southern Nazarene University, for students who are exploring a Call to Ministry. We are blessed to have 3 students from FirstNaz here this week. I have been so blessed seeing John, Andrew, and Tony worshipping, praying, and being so engaged with this amazing group of pastors, SNU staff, student leaders, and about 80 other high school students from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Kansas.
Our trip started off with a tire blowout on the van when we were about 70 miles from Bethany, OK…but God was so faithful! The prayers for safety over our students at the end of our service before we left Sunday afternoon were answered! We safely got to the side of I-40 and got the tire changed…thanks to an amazing Seminole Indian Good Samaritan (who loves the Lord) who stopped to help us by having a floor jack and an impact drill with him! God is good!
Our guys are having the best time! They are loved by everyone here and have made so many new friends! They truly standout and the Lord is definitely speaking to their hearts! They love this college! They love these people! It’s an experience they will never forget…and we still have all day Tuesday and Wednesday morning left!!! God is not finished with them yet!
I ask that you continue to pray for us! I got the rear tires replaced and the spare was upgraded on the church van! Pray that the Lord will continue to speak to our 3, as well as all the other amazing students who are with us! I am overwhelmed with JOY!
