Letting off Steam

After a long drive it was nice to walk around, climb trees, and enjoy the cool weather.

Sand Pipe Hill

by Meagan Buckland | May 19, 2025 10:07 AM

We stood on Sand Pipe Hill and lifted the city of Tulsa up in prayer.

There’s something powerful about seeing a city from above and asking God to move in every street, home, and heart below. We prayed for healing, unity, and revival—for families, churches, and leaders to be strengthened and for God's presence to saturate every corner of this city.

May Tulsa know the peace and power of Jesus.

Humbled

After our prayer time, we gathered for a group photo before heading back down the hill; a little more humbled than when we arrived.

Missionaries Helping out Missionaries

by Kim Oleson | May 19, 2025 10:30 AM

We are serving at one of the Mobile Missions Network Trailer Parks this morning. There are four total trailer parks that house full time missionaries in the Tulsa Metro area. We are here working with Haili and her husband hauling some gravel so that they have a nice dry place to park their vehicles. They are full time missionaries and provide Bible study and dinner for about 15 kids on the second Thursday of the month.

Job Well Done

by Kim Oleson | May 19, 2025 12:41 PM

It took a lot of hard and dedicated work to make what looked hard into a beautiful driveway for this beautiful couple. Everyone worked so hard! Afterwards we walked the neighborhood and prayed over the residents, spending a lot of time praying over two specific families.

Haili’s neighbor’s home burned last night. The resident and his dogs were safe, but his home was a total loss.

Then Miss Judy, who lives across the street collapsed last night due to smoke inhalation and suffered a seizure after trying to rescue three dogs from the fire. She was rushed to the ER but was home when we got there. She was shaken up but feeling better. 

We prayed over her and her family and we’re humbled by what they endured. 

Job Well Done

Peters Elementary School

by Kayla Delgado | May 19, 2025 2:40 PM

We had an amazing morning serving at Peter’s elementary school! One of our teams brought the energy outside, setting up some fun and games for the students. From intense rounds of 9 Square to classic kickball showdowns, the laughter and smiles were nonstop. It’s always a joy to connect with the kids, build community, and bring a little extra excitement to their day. Grateful for the opportunity to give back and be part of something so meaningful!

Life Jacket Safety Training

by Kayla Delgado | May 19, 2025 2:46 PM

This morning, we had the privilege of serving at Peters Elementary School—and what a blast it was! While one group was outside playing games, our indoor crew led a fun and interactive session focused on water safety. The kids learned important tips about staying safe around water, raced each other in a lively life jacket relay, and wrapped it all up with some classic parachute fun. It was a perfect mix of education and excitement, and we loved every minute of it!

Kim Preaching the Gospel

by Kayla Delgado | May 20, 2025 9:10 AM

Late Monday afternoon, we headed to the gathering place, though our plans were briefly interrupted by a sudden downpour. Once the skies cleared, we shared a meal of Raising Cane’s outside, enjoying the fresh air and each other’s company.

During our debrief, Kim read from Romans 12 and shared a powerful message about living out our faith with intentionality—walking as everyday missionaries with servant-hearted humility. It was a meaningful reminder of the kind of love and service we’re called to embody.

This morning we are packaging up food at Bridging Hunger. Unloading boxes and crates of donated food, filling sacks, and boxing them up again for community churches and nonprofits to pick up. The food is then distributed throughout the city; literally building a bridge from warehouse to the people in need.

Food on the Move

by Kim Oleson | May 20, 2025 5:46 PM

What a blessing to take our ministry to the streets and serve this community fresh vegetables, fruit, and EGGS! Praise God 🙏🏼 We spent a few hours setting up, cleaning the park, passing out drinks to everyone in line, and helping guests collect their food. Then we had an opportunity to deliver their groceries to their cars and pray for them.

Block Party in the Park

by Kim Oleson | May 21, 2025 5:15 PM

We helped Mobile Missions Network set up a block Party in Celebration Park for all of the kids and families in the housing developments in the surrounding neighborhoods. 

We got to play basketball, skip rope, paint faces, make snow cones, and serve hotdogs. And watching the littles play with the parachute was so peaceful.

Last Night Together

by Kim Oleson | May 22, 2025 9:03 AM

Meagan stepped up our worship and devo time tonight. All were attentive, some were tearful. She preached straight from the Gospel a message about who He chooses to do His Good and Beautiful Works. She spoke about what it means to go forward after our trip and pay it forward in our own communities by being the face, hands, and heart of Christ; to be His love and His light. Pantego, Go Change The World! 

Last Night Together

Adios Amigos!

by Meagan Buckland | May 22, 2025 9:18 AM

As we wrap up our mission trip, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible week we’ve shared. Serving together as the body of Christ, we saw God at work in every moment. The unity, joy, and purpose we experienced reminded us that ministry is never about us—it’s about showing up with willing hearts and letting Him lead. We return home encouraged, refreshed, and grateful for the opportunity to serve together for His glory.

Adios Amigos!
