39

2012 RESOLUTIONS (continued)

WHEREAS, the United States military is currently engaged in efforts to normalize homosexual behavior in the armed services, threatening the ability of chaplains to perform ministry according to the dictates of their consciences and the teaching of their faith; and

WHEREAS, the Justice Department has argued that the federal definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman is unconsti-tutional, threatening the ability of religious business owners and religious organizations to offer their services to those only who share their faith convictions about marriage; now, therefore

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we deplore the provision in the PPACA that sets up a separate abortion fund in health care plans as well as the administration’s efforts to require United States citizens to pay for abortion through their health care premiums contrary to the dictates of their faith; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we declare our support for the Constitution’s recognition of the unique nature of the church and insist that the Justice Department retract its offensive, unconstitutional attitude toward the church; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we express our deepest appreciation for every person who serves in the armed services of our nation and call on the Obama administration to guarantee the right of those who have volunteered to serve to express their religious convictions about homosexual behavior without fear of reprisal; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we call on the Justice Department to cease its efforts to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act and in-stead engage in a vigorous effort to defend this law of the land from every challenge; and

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that we pledge to defend the God-given and constitutionally guaranteed right of every American citizen to wor-ship God freely in thought, word and action, according to the dictates of his or her conscience.

RESOLUTION #11 – ON THE VALUE OF THE CHRISTIAN VOTE

WHEREAS, this is an election year which will uniquely impact the future of our state and nation; and

WHEREAS, there are a large number of Christians who either do not register to vote or simply have not voted in previous elections, and such votes could make a substantial difference in the laws under which we live; and

WHEREAS, the election calls for numerous decisions that relate to biblical and moral values; therefore

BE IT RESOLVED, that the pastors of the churches exhort their members to become informed about the positions of candidates and state questions and that they lead their churches to be prepared to vote; and

tween October 2011 and January 2012. What a wonderful opportunity for us to gain renewal and spiritual

vitality. Thank you, PLBA.

representative Pastors from Colorado Springs to this years Annual Meeting.

I have been asked to serve for a fifth year as Director of Associational Children’s Camp (ACC) at Falls

Creek. This year, as with all the rest, we saw hundreds of children come to Christ. For this I am very thank-

ful. Many, many, PLBA churches take scores of children to this camp. Eternity will be the witness to their

faithfulness.

I, again, want to extend my deepest appreciation for our PLBA Office Staff, Janice Maynard, our Office

BIBLE STUDY MINISTRY TEAM ANNUAL REPORT October 23, 2012

The Bible Study Team was active this past year accomplishing the work of God’s Kingdom through ar-

eas related to the study of His Word. The Bible Study Team encouraged One Day Conferences to be

conducted by local churches for local churches (OneDayBGCO.org). The conference provides churches

the opportunity to customize the training of small group leaders—particularly Sunday School teachers

and workers. If your church needs assistance in putting a One Day Conference together for your work-

ers, please contact your PLBA Bible Study Ministry Team Director.

In addition, the team organized and conducted an Association-wide Sunday School Conference which

was conducted August 28 and hosted by Sharon Baptist Church. Conference leaders included Dr. Scott

Pace, Professor at OBU, James Bond, Pastor, Emmanuel Baptist Church, McLoud and LiAnn Armitage

from Immanuel Baptist Church, Shawnee. Approximately 110 attended the conference.

The Annual VBS Clinic was held again at Immanuel Baptist Church. LiAnn Armitage, Associational

VBS Director worked diligently and conducted a wonderful conference. Many new workers were

blessed by the excellent training they received at this clinic. Several churches received training for the

first time. There was 186 registered from 33 churches in PLBA.

Scholarships from budgeted funds were disbursed again by the Bible Study Team. Scholarships were

granted to students attending Southern Baptist Seminaries and Oklahoma Baptist University.

As of this 2012 Annual Meeting, I have completed my third year as Team Director of the Bible Study

Team. I appreciate the good work of LiAnn Armitage from Immanuel Baptist Church, Vacation Bible

School Leader. The position of Sunday School Leader is currently vacant.

DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY TEAM ANNUAL REPORT October 23, 2012

In the Great Commission Jesus has given to those who know Him as Lord and Savior the charge to

preach the Gospel and make disciples. It seems that this disciple-making process takes place best when it

is done through relationships. Believers who are mature in the faith are directed by Jesus Himself to in-

vest their lives in helping new believers grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord.

It is the desire of the Discipleship Ministry Team to assist you in fulfilling this discipling aspect of the

Great Commission. Ephesians 4:11-13 (NIV) says: It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be

prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for

works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the

knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of

Christ.

We pray that you are witnessing the members of your local congregation becoming more like Jesus. And

we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever

-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. – 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV) Pottawato-

mie-Lincoln Baptist Association provides numerous Bible studies available for the member churches,

available to check out for no charge at the Association Office to assist in making disciples.

LifeWay also offers a tremendous number of short-term discipleship studies for the church. PLBA has

made an effort to continually update our resource library with the latest studies for use by our member

churches. Please employ these resources available to you in the coming year as you seek to see lives

transformed by the resurrection power of our Lord Jesus Christ.

One goal we have this year is to compile a list of resources that individual churches have that could be

borrowed between churches. As an ongoing project, please share with PLBA any discipleship studies

that you would be willing to share with other churches.

The Discipleship Ministry Team looks forward to serving you in the coming year and welcomes your

inquiries.

Women’s Ministry activities included the Ladies Retreat at Falls Creek, several minister’s wives were strengthened by the Minister’s Wives Week-end, and Ladies’ Night Out. The association continues to add new women’s Bible study kits and books to our media resource center to aid in the spiritual growth of women. Blanket the State is an on-going ministry.

The Singles Ministry remains without a leader this year.

The Senior Adult Ministry is headed by Mark Wright. Several BGCO events for senior adults will be promoted. The Senior Adult Choir known as the “Jesus Heirs” under the direction of Mark Wright, Immanuel is open to any senior adult in the asso-ciation interested in participating. This group provides special music for special occasions in all of our communities.

The Youth Ministry is directed by Josh Norton, Youth Pastor, Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, Shawnee. The Youth Evangelism Conference was again attended by groups from several PLBA churches. Many youth groups from our churches observed “See You At the Pole.” Associational SYATP Rallies were held at Meeker, MorningStar and Chandler High School. Hundreds of youth from PLBA churches attended camps at Falls Creek and Super Summer, held at OBU.

The Children’s Ministry is directed by Shannon Pruitt, Immanuel Baptist Church, Shawnee. Check the calendar to find out when BGCO activities are scheduled. Associational VBS Training will be held March 11 at Immanuel.

The Christian Life & Ethics Leader is Wanda Hill. She has been very busy keeping all the churches informed on all the cur-rent issues. Some events this year:

Wanda has also been very instrumental in encouraging all of our PLBA member churches to “get out the vote” and vote Chris-tian values. Believers can find help at ivotevalues.com. This ministry is open for volunteers.

The Counseling Ministry, Bret Ellard and Larry Roberts continue to provide vital counseling services for the association. Pray for them as they minister to others. Larry Roberts now leads this part of the team.

The Marriage & Parenting Ministry Shawn & Amber Crawley have continued to conduct marriage enrichment retreats for PLBA and BGCO churches. Projects from Marriage & Parenting for 2013 include additional retreats for individual churches, and development of resources to share ministry tools, perspectives, and approaches for intentional ministry to families. It is our goal to revisit and update the team description and tasks in the coming year. We also hope to have a template for assess-ing ministry to families within local congregations along with suggestions for steps for a church to begin to take to meet recog-nized needs in ministry programming, emphases, and resources to better encourage the partnership between church and home. We would appreciate your prayers in these endeavors.

Pray for each of the team members as they lead our association to help keep the family unit strong.

MISSIONS MINISTRY TEAM ANNUAL REPORT October 23, 2012

The Missions Ministry Team was involved in helping churches fulfill the “Great Commission.” The team’s purpose

is to assist churches in mission education and action and provide channels for cooperative mission ministries.

Camp Ministry—Camp is an investment in the future of Pottawatomie-Lincoln Baptist Association. Falls Creek is

an incredible asset to all Baptist in and around the state of Oklahoma, and our Association is always pleased to assist

churches in getting your kids involved. The awesome thing about camp is many churches joining together to focus all

our minds on Jesus Christ. This year during Youth Camp there were several students who came to a saving knowl-

edge of Jesus Christ and others who rededicated their lives to serving Jesus. The Children’s Camp leader is Wayne

Knight, pastor of Fairview, Earlsboro. Many children surrendered their lives to Christ at Associational Children’s

Camp.

Chaplaincy Ministry—directed by Alpha Black includes ministry in hospitals, rest homes, police & fire depart-

ments, juvenile detention centers and prisons. The prison ministry reports 151 professions of faith, 415 rededications,

152 Bible studies held, 120 large print Bibles as well as many other Bibles distributed and 40 volunteers certified and

endorsed to assist with the Chaplaincy program. The prison ministry says they average 12 baptisms a month since

they received their baptistery. They minister to 350 people every month, where they do share sessions between pas-

tors and prisoners, families and prisoners, and or pass on information about the death of loved ones. Please pray for

this ministry and the workers as they minister. Larry Sparks and Keith Ward are the hospital chaplains in Shawnee;

Jim Crabtree is the Chaplain at Boley Prison.

Community Ministry—focuses on helping our churches meet tangible needs of families or the church itself in times

of hardship or unusual circumstances.

Mission Partnerships—in our September 12 ,2011 Executive Board meeting we voted to join in a three year part-

nership with Pikes Peak Baptist Association in Colorado Springs, CO. Our churches have shown great support

through giving, prayer and mission trips to these as well as other locations. Your church can help by praying for mis-

sion opportunities to be revealed, going to this area and helping a church reach their communities and through sup-

porting Pottawatomie Lincoln’s Mission Fund. Some of the things that might be asked of our churches through this

mission partnership could be: construction, VBS, Backyard Bible Clubs, surveys, Pastor to Pastor Revivals and

Church to Church Partnerships. We are currently giving financial support to the Hispanic mission of Rock Creek and

the Sac & Fox Mission near Stroud.

Volunteers in Missions Ministry—Volunteers in Missions has been a part of my life since the 1970’s, when my

family, which was a Gospel Singing group at the time, began giving 3 to 4 weeks each year to mission activity. We

did revivals, concerts, day camps, Vacation Bible Schools, construction and block parties in an effort to lead both

children and parents to know Jesus as their savior. Here is what happened this past summer at Lake Texoma. The youth conducting the last day camp were so excited! They could not wait to tell me the story of the little boy they had witnessed to. They walked him back to his trailer to meet his Mother to tell her of his deci-sion. She was very excited and told them that she had attended one of these day camps as a child visiting the lake with her grandparents. She also accepted the Lord as her Savior at one of them. Isn’t that awesome, that we are now witnessing to the second generation of day campers? We have a really great program and I am so honored to be a part of it. Barbara Decker

Whether you stay in state or go out of state, there are many opportunities in Volunteers In Missions. Bobby and Jo

Ann Burnett serve as Mission Service Corps, Volunteers In Missions Consultants for PLBA and as Chaplain State

Coordinators for Resort Ministries in Oklahoma. We are here to help!

Leadership Teams Pottawatomie-Lincoln Association Russell Cook, Director of Missions

Mike Hazelwood, Moderator

Kirk Holloway, Partnership Coordinator

Pikes Peak Baptist Association Bill Lighty, Director of Missions

Kyle Sullivan, Moderator

Terry Sims, Partnership Coordinator

Purpose The purpose of this partnership is to help the Pikes Peak Baptist Association (PPBA) and the Pottawatomie-

Lincoln Baptist Association (PLBA) assist churches in fulfilling THE GREAT COMMISSION.

Time Frame The partnership will be for a period of three years, beginning November 1, 2011 and ending October 31,

2014, with an extension possible if agreed to by both Associations.

Objectives 1. To pray mutually for the work of those involved in the partnership.

2. To discover mission needs and explore and implement ways in which selected needs may be met

cooperatively.

3. To cooperate in planning ways in which the partners may assist each other in accomplishing such

common objectives as church planting, church and leadership development, and evangelism.

4. To provide leadership and/or financial resources.

5. To involve mission volunteers in short-term mission ministry projects.

Guidelines 1. The primary thrust of the partnership is to meet the mutual needs in PPBA and PLBA, according to their

vision and mission plan.

2. PLBA will respond only to requests from the Mission Partnership Coordinator of the PPBA or someone

designated by him.

3. Volunteers will be responsible for travel expenses to and from PPBA, plus lodging, food, etc., while

there. When possible, the host churches will help find or provide housing and/or some of the meals.

4. PLBA will be responsible for enlisting volunteers based on requests submitted by the PPBA Mission

Partnership Coordinator or his designee.

5. The PPBA will be responsible for sending guidelines and necessary information on the projects, plus pro-

viding on-the-field orientation as needed for the volunteers.

57

6. The PLBA Mission Partnership Coordinator and Moderator shall work closely with the PPBA Mission

Partnership Coordinator and Moderator to provide the best possible results.

7. Comprehensive field planning shall be done by churches in the Pikes Peak Baptist Association in order

to identify the purpose, objectives, goals and timelines of specific projects.

Partnership Ministries The areas of cooperative ministry may include, but not be limited to, the following broad categories:

1. Prayer (partnerships, conferences, walks, etc.)

2. Church Evangelism (F.A.I.T.H., Share Jesus Without Fear, Roman Road, strategies, block parties, etc.)

3. Church Planting (surveys, strategies, enlistment, partnerships)

4. Church Strengthening (leadership development, organizational enhancement, etc.)

5. Collegiate Ministries (summer missions, etc.)

6. Leadership Development (pastors, staff, deacons, spouses, etc.)

7. Church Camps (sponsorship, volunteers, coordination, organization)

Procedures 1. The Mission Partnership Coordinator in PPBA informs, encourages and enlists churches and Pastors to

complete project requests for volunteers from PLBA to assist them in fulfilling their mission.

2. Churches will send their requests to their Director of Missions (or his designee), who, in turn, will send

the requests to the PLBA Mission Partnership Coordinator in a timely manner.

3. PLBA Mission Partnership Coordinator enlists churches of the association to fill the requests. The

volunteers must not have personal habits that would compromise their Christian testimony on the field.

They must attend training and orientation sessions required by their respective church and team leader.

4. The PPBA will provide appropriate field orientation for the PLBA volunteers.

5. The PLBA and PPBA correspond with each other concerning future projects. They keep their respective

state Mission Partnership Coordinator informed concerning their work.

6. Upon completion of the project, the team leader of the PLBA volunteers (churches) will solicit evaluations

from each team member and the project leader in PPBA will solicit evaluations from participating

churches. Reports will be sent to the corresponding state Mission Partnership Coordinator and will be

shared with all parties involved. This is to help track the effectiveness of the partnership.

SUPPORT SERVICES MINISTRY TEAM ANNUAL REPORT October 23, 2012

The Support Services Ministry Team involves five leaders plus the director. The leaders are responsible

for Budget & Finance, Personnel, Building & Grounds, Trustees & Legal Matters, and Communications.

Each member of the team is available to serve as a consultant/specialist in their areas of responsibilities

to the churches.

This year the team has met regularly to coordinate their work. The team is responsible for tracking the

budget and financial progress of the association. They evaluate the income from the churches and the

allocation of that income through a well designed and workable budget. The churches have increased

their giving to missions through the association allowing us to increase our annual budget by 6.5% for

2013. This year has been an exceptionally good year for most of our churches and for our association.

Year-to-date we have received 111 % of our budget. Because of that, our Support Team has increased

the 2013 proposed budget by allowing for a 5% increase in staff compensation. All the churches are

encouraged to consider increasing their percentage of giving to associational missions in their new

budget year.

All audit procedures as well as constitution & by-laws are assessed by this team. We do an ongoing,

progressive internal audit. The team has arranged to outsource our payroll and tax-accounting with the

CPA firm of Gibson, Reynolds & Blakemore of Shawnee. This, along with the superb work of our Fi-

nancial Secretary, Janice Maynard, has continued to keep our financial stewardship accurate and ac-

countable. The determination of insurance needs and acquisition or change of property is also handled

by this team.

All the buildings, property and equipment owned by the association along with the maintenance,

utilities, insurance and management of these come under the responsibility of the Support Services

Team.

We continue to build a reserve fund for Equipment Replacement in order to maintain a very valuable

service of printing and promotion for the churches. This past year we added a full color copier with fold-

ing, collating and stapling features.

Hundreds of publications and printing jobs, including our Association Annual, have been completed

along with a PLBA website by our Communications Leader, who serves on the Support Services Team.

This has been an extremely busy year of advance for this team and for our churches. In 2013 we will

continue to move more toward paperless communications and accelerating the use of email and our

website (plba.org). We cherish the prayers and support of all the churches and desire to serve you even

more diligently in the new year.

Becky Traxler has completed her fourth full year of employment as our Printshop/Media Manager. She

has made a great contribution to our staff and the churches of the association. Becky stands ready, able

and willing to assist with all things pertaining to printing, promotion, desktop publishing and website

management.

Biographical Sketch Glenda Fay Brown... Pink Baptist Church, Tecumseh Glenda Fay Brown passed from this life on June 20, 2012 to go to her heavenly home. Glenda was born on October 5, 1944 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Glenda married Carl Brown and had four sons, Gerald, Glenn, Gary and Greg Brown. When Glenda was in her forties God blessed Glenda & Carl with a beautiful girl. One that was prayed for and wanted so very much. They named her Destiny Noel. Glenda said it was because she was destined to be. Noel was because she was born on the 18th of December. Glenda was the kind of person you wanted to call when you were having a bad day. She seemed to always make it better. She knew the Bible and could quote it to anyone who needed to hear an encouraging word. Glenda was a war-rior for the Lord whom she served daily. She was a wonderful wife, mother, sister, teacher and friend. She will be missed by so many each and every day. We know whom she served and we know where she is and one day we will see her again. Until then she would want us to keep our eyes on the Lord and serve Him with our all. She fought the fight, she finished her course, her battle is over, she has won. I will miss her laughter, her teaching and her friendship. She was one of a kind. By: Laurie Spicer One of her best and most dearest of friends wrote: On June 20, 2012, our sister, Glenda Brown went home to be with the Lord. She was one of those special people who let the love of the Lord shine through her and warm all those with whom she came in contact. The more a person loves, the more they have to share and share she did. She loved studying God’s Word and sharing it. She loved teaching Sunday school classes, working in VBS, Awanas, mission activities, clothing giveaways, preparing food baskets for those in need, Falls Creek, visiting, witness-ing to and encouraging others. She love to clean! Glenda actually had a gift for cleaning. She was our church janitor for decades. Doing much more than the job required because she did it for the Lord. Glenda had many challenges in her life, not the least of which was three bouts with cancer. “To live was Christ but to die was gain,” for Glenda. However, it is an immeasurable loss for those of us who knew and loved her. Glenda leaves behind her four sons, her daughter, her sweet sisters who she loved so very much Melba Clayton and Judy James. Grandkids, Brandon and his wife Katy their son (Glenda’s first Great grandchild) Kayton Brown, Vivian Brynyn, Vadin Brown, Hanna and Ian Brown. By: Jan Caudle

Historical Sketch HAZEL DELL BAPTIST CHURCH

MCLOUD, OKLAHOMA

The history of Hazel Dell Baptist Church and Hazel Dell School are closely entwined. In the late 1800’s Union Sunday School used the schoolhouse. About 1901 the Baptist organized a Sunday School in the morning with Union Sunday School in the afternoon and preaching in the evening. Hazel Dell Missionary Baptist Church was officially constituted September 4, 1912. Mr. Samuel Johnston gave the Baptist two acres of land. Hazel Dell Missionary Baptist Church rented an additional twenty acres and planted a cotton crop two seasons to raise money for the first church building. On October 21, 1917, the congregation of Hazel Dell Missionary Bap-tist Church applied to the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention for the sum of $150 to be used to com-plete the church building. The chairman of the 1917 trustees was C.E. Hook, clerk was A.J. Ownby, the members being T.L. Courtney, J.T. Goodson and W.H. White. The population within three miles of the church was 560. There were 62 members, 20 of which were males and Sunday School enrollment was 72. The new church house seated 375. W.N. Nolan was pastor. During the 1930’s the church suffered with record-low attendance, services were disbanded in the years 1938-1941. The old church house left empty soon had all the windows broken and was in poor repair. In 1942, Clyde Smith, Ralph Johnson, Arthur Akins and his son Agnew Akins felt led of the Lord to repair the building and start the church activities again. Through much hard work and personal sacrifice, the church was repaired and worship services were resumed with Cecil Flowers as pastor. In 1951, the Hazel Dell School consolidated with Dale School and Hazel Dell Baptist Church purchased the school build-ing. Hazel Dell Baptist Church sold the church facilities and once again met in the old schoolhouse until the new church was constructed. The church has had 40 pastors in it’s 100 year history, of which 5 were in the last 25 years. The body of believers now meet in a worship center constructed in 1981 with the 1954 building having been remodeled into a fellowship hall, kitchen, office and classrooms. An extensive revision of the 1954 building was begun in 2001. A new roof was installed encom-passing the entire building including a 17 x 68 foot addition on the north, a prominent Steeple, a new library/conference-classroom, a large women’s restroom and a new pastor’s office. Eight new pews and a state of the art sound system were installed in early 2004. In 2009, a new addition was added onto the west of the worship center housing up to 8 classrooms. The worship center was updated in 2010 and in 2011 the classrooms in the 1954 building were being updated as well. Our present deacon body consists of Fred Smith, Bobby Anderson and deacon emeritus, J.R. Long. The Lord has truly blessed Hazel Dell throughout the years and continues to do so as we strive to be the Disciples He de-sires us to be.

THE BAPTIST FOUNDATION OF OKLAHOMA

Robert Kellogg, President

The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma exists to promote charitable planned giving and to pro-

vide financial management for the gifts that strengthen Southern Baptist ministries. In addition, the

Foundation provides lending to churches through its church building loan program and helps

churches invest their cash reserves through its church funds management program.

Audited total assets under management by the Foundation were $311.7 million in 2011. The

organization was able to distribute approximately $9.8 million through the 2011 annual distribu-

tion (distributed in January 2012) to more than 300 charitable organizations in Oklahoma, across

the nation, and around the world. In addition, the Foundation made 24 church building loans in the

amount of $10.5 million to Southern Baptist churches and associations, and managed 180 church

funds management accounts valued at $20.2 million.

BAPTIST VILLAGE COMMUNITIES Dr. Bill Pierce, President

The mission of Baptist Village Communities is to honor God

by providing quality living and compassionate health care in a Christian environment.

Baptist Village Communities Baptist Village Communities has served the people of Oklahoma for over 50 years by providing quality living and compassionate health care in a Christian environment. Serving God, Serving You, Serving Together is our theme. Serving you through eight villages, four home health agencies, case management and medical equipment, BVC continues to shape the future of aging services. The construction of Oklahoma’s most unique and innovative place for assistance in living and memory support was completed in mid 2010. The Neighborhoods at Baptist Village of Broken Arrow is an exciting new addition to the Baptist Village Communities family and has in the first year already attained a stable occupancy in the mid 90 per-cent range. Baptist Village Communities (BVC) has been equated with quality services to Oklahoma’s elders for more than 50 years. That scope now extends to the nation. The American Association of Home and Services for the Aging (AAHSA) has honored BVC as the 2010 recipient of the Leading-Edge Care and Services Award, presented in Los Angeles. BVC partners with Daily Living Centers (DLC) and the Oklahoma City Housing Authority (OCHA), bringing services and housing to senior adults at the Wyatt F. Jeltz Senior Center. The partnership is worthy of merit as it is the first partnership in Oklahoma as well as one of the first in the nation to combine adult day services and healthcare within a low income public housing senior community. 2010 Chaplain’s Ministry Report

CHURCH & FAMILY EQUIPPING TEAM

Scott Phillips, Team Leader

CrossTimbers Children’s Mission Adventure Camp

Camp CrossTimbers experienced a tremendous summer of children’s mission camps with a total registration of 2,681 campers

and sponsors in 13 camp sessions. There were 622 decisions recorded at camp this summer with 326 of them being professions of

faith. The new electronic gate provided enhanced security while still allowing access for the groups attending camp. CrossTimbers

also hosts many events throughout the year including the recent Father/Son and Father/Daughter Escape 24 weekends.

Falls Creek Conference Center and Youth Summer Camp

God continues to make Falls Creek a very special place for students every summer and visitors year-round.

The theme for the youth weeks, “Undiscovered Territory,” was a tremendous success. Falls Creek had 52,978 registrants during

the eight weeks of youth camp. This year’s theme emphasized the spiritual discipline of prayer and helped students build a strong

prayer life. The theme verse was Jeremiah 33:3, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things you

do not know.” The “Undiscovered Territory” of our lives is that which God longs to reveal to us if we will but call on Him and ask.

In addition to the youth weeks, Falls Creek also hosted Associational Children’s Camp, Indian Falls Creek, and Camp Perfect

Wings with a total attendance of over 62,000 for the summer and over 3,200 professions of faith. The summer staff of 150 college

students did a tremendous of job of serving the campers and churches that visited Falls Creek this summer with the many different

activities and amenities that camp has to offer.

Summer has ended with many improvements beginning at Falls Creek. Highway 77D was closed on August 6 to begin a widen-

ing project that is scheduled to be completed early in 2013. Work has begun on the new water treatment plant that is scheduled to be

completed prior to camps beginning next spring. Phase three of the waste water treatment plant will be completed by spring and

includes the remediation of main collection lines on campus.

Family and Men’s Ministries

Over 3,000 men attended this year’s Rewired Men’s retreat where many came to faith in Jesus Christ. Over 20 different venues

were offered in helping men in their spiritual development in numerous ways. This year’s emphasis was on helping men’s ministry

leaders understand the importance of rallying around pastoral vision to impact a church and community. Venue leaders put together

a four- to six-week discipleship study that accompanied their topics to be available to men on the Rewired website or iPhone App.

The two worship and keynote sessions were livestreamed, reaching 1,100 people in 28 states and 6 countries. 72% of the viewers

watched both services. One positive indicator this year was a large increase of young men between the ages of 13–18.

For the past four years, the Oklahoma F.A.I.T.H. Riders have been participating in what they call “Falls Creek Fridays.” The

focus is on sharing the Gospel with youth who attend camp, by offering a “free” Faith Riders trading pin in exchange for hearing a

biker’s testimony. Over the course of eight Friday afternoons, 36 churches were represented, involving 28 Faith Riders churches and

eight churches from student volunteers who joined the effort. A total of 97 volunteers shared 3,561 Gospel presentations, with 247

students praying to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

Sunday School/Discipleship

Sunday School is at the forefront of our state convention strategy to reach Oklahoma with the Gospel and make disciples. A task

force of BGCO specialists and Directors of Mission met twice this spring to discuss and develop strategy for Sunday School and

small groups in Oklahoma. As a group, we have defined the purpose of Sunday School as: Sunday School is the church’s primary

strategy to connect people to Christ, His community, His Truth, and His mission.

On April 16-19, a group of Ministers of Education from Oklahoma churches conducted a Sunday School tour of four associations.

This tour equipped 41 pastors with solid Sunday School principles. In addition these churches committed to start 131 new Sun-

day School groups by the end of this year.

Also, we have completed a new Sunday School Resource Kit called “The X-Factor” for pastors and leaders. The X-Factor fea-

tures video plug and play training resources for Sunday School leaders of all age groups. Even more resources for Sunday School

leaders can be found at www.bgco.org/oneday.

Worship and Music

Oklahoma Baptist worship leaders had the opportunity to meet the new worship and music specialist, Dr. Randy Lind, at several

events around the state this summer and fall. Already the positive impact of his leadership is being observed in the planning for new

training events and worship leadership equipping for 2013. A highlight of the Singing Churchmen season was an opportunity for the

men to sing at the Joseph Harp Correctional Facility in Lexington. Great ministry and great weather made the outdoor concert a

wonderful event. The men were also asked to sing at the national Baptist Church Music Conference held at Tulsa, First.

The Singing ChurchWomen had a strong ministry season led by Bart Morrison from Ada First. Their theme was an emphasis on

continuing to tell the story of Christ by sharing His life through their music. Bart Morrison will continue to direct the Singing

ChurchWomen in 2013.

The Oklahoma Baptist Symphony finished their first season with Dr. Michael Raiber as conductor. Dr. Raiber has agreed to

continue to conduct the OBS during the 2012-2013 season.

CHURCH OUTREACH TEAM

Randy Adams, Team Leader

The work of the Church Outreach Team includes all areas of cooperative missions and evangelism, together with pastoral leadership

development. Highlights include 42 new church starts in Oklahoma, together with 11 associational partnerships that focused on

evangelism, church planting, and Sunday School growth.

Baptist Collegiate Ministry

Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) is excited to have developed and provided Next Chapter, a 14 week video driven Sun-

day School curriculum for high school seniors who are in their last semester. The Next Chapter is offered free to all Oklahoma

churches and can be found and downloaded at [email protected]. As an outgrowth of Next Chapter, six BCM directors

along with the BCM specialist taught all graduating high school seniors during the morning Bible study time at Falls Creek. The

material taught was a further development of the information found in Next Chapter.

In the school year of 2011-2012, BCM across Oklahoma reached 12,450 students on 38 campuses. Students involved num-

bered 4,473 and 173 college students received Jesus. Over 2,000 students participated in missions in more than two dozen nations

and a dozen states.

Chaplaincy

Christian Men’s Job Corp (CMJC) training resulted in 105 graduates who left prison with the training to get and keep a job.

Eighty percent of these men received jobs upon leaving prison and following their completion of the 68 hour program.

Disaster Relief

In April, Disaster Relief volunteers worked for two weeks following the Woodward, OK tornado which killed eight people.

Our crew provided hot meals, a portable shower trailer, and a chain saw team. The chain saw group assisted fourteen homeowners.

Numerous volunteers have also served in Colorado and New Mexico during June, July, and August 2012. We have sent an Inci-

dent Command Team, ash-out crews, chain saw groups, shower and laundry volunteers and feeding workers. In the midst of this

response, Oklahoma Disaster Relief leaders have trained over 100 Colorado volunteers in Disaster Relief ministry.

Evangelism

MY316 evangelism continues to impact lostness across Oklahoma as our BGCO churches and associations become aware

of and use the various resources. During the past twelve months several of the original pieces have been reprinted due to demand

and all pieces have been translated into Spanish or are in the process of translation. The newest pieces include the Church Evangel-

ism Accelerator (a step-by-step guide for a pastor to develop his church’s disciple-making process), the Certificate of Baptism and

the baptism postcard invitation. The State Evangelism Conference continues to support MY316 with its theme and emphasis. At

SEC 2012, the MY316 car was handed over to the evangelism director of the Colorado Baptist Convention. This culminated Tim

Gentry’s MY316 Road Trip that touched all 43 Baptist associations and covered 35,000 miles. Also, the baptism figure reported at

the SEC (13,419+) was up almost 200 people from the number reported at last year’s conference (13,222).

Partnership Missions

A large number of mission groups (associational, church and youth) have gone on mission trips to Colorado in 2012, engag-

ing in various types of ministry.

Many BGCO churches are involved in the East Asia partnership and have traveled to this part of the world to assist local mis-

sionaries and tell about Jesus. Oklahoma students have gone to East Asia as part of World Changers and GO Students efforts.

We had BGCO involvement in the Guerrero Women’s Ministries Conference that was held in conjunction with their state con-

vention in February. We also assisted with the Church Planting Conference in May. This was the largest Church Planting Confer-

ence ever in Guerrero with 150 attending.

East Asia One Day conferences will be held on September 18, 2012 at two locations: Broken Arrow, First and Bethany, Coun-

cil Road.

Pastoral Leadership

Pastoral leadership equips pastors in the three fundamental tasks--proclaim, lead, care--so that the church can fulfill its

Great Commission mandate. Engaging pastors throughout the lifespan of their ministry, from foundation stage to legacy stage, we

have provided training and resources for 970 pastors this year through 11 different venues or events, such as the Pastors' Conference

in November 2011, the Priority of Preaching Conference in April 2012, and the May 2012 Oklahoma Bible Conference at Falls

Creek. Working in conjunction with the Priority Action Committee of the Mission Advance Team, we have embarked on new strate-

gies this past year to "redeem the time" and engage pastors wherever they are, such as the Pastoral Leadership dialogues during each

camp week of Falls Creek.

Seven training centers of the Robert Haskins School of Leadership involved 135 students preparing for ministry leadership

through Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary’s Contextualized Leadership Development program. Thirty of these graduated

in June of this year.

Students Evangelism and Mobilization

This summer we sent 165 high school and college students with GO Students to serve on a GO Students mission teams in

Washington DC, Paris, and East Asia. It was exciting to see our GO Students offering at Falls Creek was over $78,000, which is

given each year to help defray some of the cost to our international GO Students.

Thirty-two See You at the Pole associational rallies in September 2011 saw more than 11,000 students gather, with approxi-

mately 1,000 giving their lives to Christ. We are expecting God to do huge things this year as we partners with associations to pro-

vide these evangelistic events.

The YEC 2012 was held August 10-11 in Tulsa. One aspect of the conference was our Mission YEC on Friday morning with

Friday afternoon pre-sessions on evangelism. We had over 1,000 students prepare 200,000 meals to be shipped to a Southern Bap-

tist missionary in Africa. These meals were paid for by our students at Falls Creek by purchasing t-shirts whose proceeds bought the

meals.

This summer we had 1,277 students at Falls Creek surrender their lives to a call to ministry which is the largest number in Falls

Creek history. The Call Conference 2012 will take place at Oklahoma Baptist University on Saturday, September 22, 2012. It is

designed for individuals who are exploring a call from God to ministry leadership. This is day is for churches to bring their high

school students, college students, and adults who feel that God may be calling them into ministry.

Women’s Ministries

While the women's office of the BGCO continues to equip women for missions and ministries, 2012 was a year of recon-

necting with leaders and purposefully engaging them in their calling. Events, such as the Oklahoma Ladies’ Retreat and a 20 Town

Tour in September, give the women's office an opportunity to educate and encourage others. In addition, the office spearheaded a

statewide prayer effort to raise awareness of human trafficking and exploitation.

COMMUNICATIONS TEAM

Brian Hobbs, Director of Communications

The Baptist Messenger

The Baptist Messenger turned 100 years old on May 15, 2012. Beginning in March, the Baptist Messenger embarked on a se-

ries called “10 Decades in 10 Weeks,” as part of the publication’s 100th anniversary celebration in 2012. Each issue featured dis-

tinct content from one decade in which the Messenger reported featuring headlines, sample writings, photos and more. The Messen-

ger has hosted a series of 100th anniversary celebration events in Putnam City, Red Oak and Broken Arrow that featured popular

columnist Walker Moore. The print edition of the Messenger launched into its second century on May 17 with a new look and a

new philosophy of coverage. The 100-year-old news journal with expanded coverage templates includes a new sports page.

The Messenger continues to find ways to create advertising opportunities for its customers, as well as serve churches. In De-

cember 2011, the Messenger published a Christmas advertising insert that included paid advertising as well as free text advertise-

ments for churches to highlight a program or event. In March, the Messenger provided the same opportunity for churches and busi-

nesses during the Easter season. The digital Messenger continues to gain readership. More than 12,000 unique visitors have viewed

approximately 45,000 pages at www.baptistmessenger.com. And in late April, the Messenger expanded its reach by launching a

Facebook page (www.facebook.com/thebaptistmessenger). The “Messenger Insight” audio podcast has continued to expand upon

and reinforce articles in the Baptist Messenger by interviewing guests, including: Rep. James Lankford, Courageous movie actor

Ken Bevel, pastor Ted Kersh, along with many authors and experts.

Communications Media and Tools

The audio/video portion of the Communications Team has taken on a wide range of projects including shooting and animating

promotional pieces for Falls Creek, CrossTimbers, the Baptist Messenger, and Sunday School. The BGCO Communications Team

is responsible for more than 15 ministry websites and blogs. Each week, the BGCO email newsletter is distributed to approxi-

mately 1,075 readers in Oklahoma. The Baptist Messenger also sends out weekly notifications to nearly 2,000 individuals who

have access to the interactive digital version.

The Communications Team also helps facilitate multiple email newsletters for other departments within the BGCO, such as

Disaster Relief, chaplaincy, and Sunday School. The total reach of the BGCO email network is nearly 35,000. The audience for the

BGCO’s social media continues to expand. The BGCO Twitter and Facebook accounts, launched in the summer of 2011, have a

combined reach of approximately 1,000, and the Messenger’s Twitter and Facebook accounts have a reach beyond 1,500. The cal-

endar system on the BGCO website has been completely rebuilt. The new calendar system has many new features, including cate-

gorization of events, calendar and list view options, ability for visitors to import events into their own calendars (Outlook, iCal,

Google Cal), save information for venues and contacts which can be reused for future events, Google maps integration, and more.

ERLC

The Ethics & Religious Liberty Committee communicates the impact Oklahoma Baptists are having through the Cooperative

Program by maintaining a regular BGCO presence at the State Capitol in order to monitor critical moral and ethical legislation and

policies that may affect Christian life. ERLC hosted another successful and impactful Rose Day Pro-Life Rally on February 8 at the

State Capitol. The ERLC has begun developing a resource for voters called “A Voters Guide for the Well-Informed Voter of

Faith.” The online-only publication will question candidates of all state levels and ask for a response on key questions. The planned

debut of the publication is fall of 2012 and will be promoted by other pro-family organizations.

Public Relations

The BGCO Communications Team has responded to some key events during 2012, such as the election of Fred Luter, Jr. as

SBC president; the Chick-fil-A controversy; and the response to Oklahoma wildfires. The Communications Team has participated

in many media interviews, earning coverage with the Associated Press, The Oklahoman, the Tulsa World, Baptist Press, and many

of the major radio and television outlets in the state. The BGCO regularly distributes news releases and participates in the public

discussion on current events and religious news.

COOPERATIVE PROGRAM/STEWARDSHIP/ASSOCIATIONAL RELATIONS

Bob Shelton, Director

Cooperative Program Education Sundays were held in churches in six associations. In September 2011, 11 churches participated in

Northwestern Association and 17 churches in Panhandle. In February 2012, 10 churches participated in Banner Association and 13

churches in Arbuckle Association. In April 2012 there were 14 participating churches in Atoka-Coal Association, and 12 in Johnston

-Marshall Association.

At the semi-annual retreat for Oklahoma Association of Directors of Missions (OKADOM) held in August 2011, reports were given

from the BGCO specialists and Baptist Village Communities personnel. Directors of Missions from Colorado came to discuss Colo-

rado partnership mission’s opportunities and to establish possible future ministries. In February, 2012, the directors of missions met

and heard from the BGCO specialists and Joe McKeever, retired DOM from New Orleans, who taught two sessions: “How Associa-

tions Minister to Churches in Time of Disaster” and “Relevance and Role of Associations in the Future”. Officers of the OKADOM

meet three times each year with the BGCO Executive Team to enhance our partnership in Kingdom work. The input of our Direc-

tors of Missions has proven a valuable resource in planning and implementing new ministries in Oklahoma.

Records of 2011 Cooperative Program giving were mailed to all Directors of Missions, BGCO pastors, treasurers, ministers of edu-

cation, WMU directors, and women’s ministry coordinators. Included in the mail out was a copy of the 2011 BGCO “Annual Report

and 2012 Financial Plan”. In July, 2012 the Cooperative Program giving reports for 2012 were also mailed to the above leaders.

Wendell Lang, stewardship consultant, has completed interviews and a review of available stewardship resources with over 100 pas-

tors. Wendell is now providing stewardship coaching to a group of pastors.

Upon the retirement of Sam Vinall this office assumed the responsibility for the Annual Church Profile coordination and training, as

well as the Southern Baptist Directory Service (SBDS) administration and approval of new BGCO church requests.

The following avenues of communication continue as channels to share relevant up-to-date information on the impact churches are

having through their Cooperative Program participation:

FINANCE TEAM

Kerry Russell, Team Leader and Chief Financial Officer

As we enter the second half of 2012 we are experiencing challenging financial times. We know some associations are still

struggling from the 2008 financial crisis.

As of June 30, 2012 the Cooperative Program stands at $12,522,031, which is $306,937 or 2.51 percent above budget

and $314,237 or 2.45 percent below last year.

Lottie Moon finished at $5,339,158 for 2011 which is only $2,457 below the record amount of $5,341,615 for the fiscal offer-

ing ending on April 30.

Just two months beyond the April promotion Annie Armstrong is at $1,604,914 to-date and 6.6 percent ahead of 2011, while

the Edna McMillan State Missions Offering is at $196,791 three months prior to the promotional month and nine percent below

2011 for the same period.

The proposed 2013 Financial Plan (Budget) will be presented to the Finance Committee and Board of Directors at the Septem-

ber board meeting. Spending for the first six months is right at budget and income received is one percent over budget.

The 2011 BGCO Audit has been completed and received an unqualified opinion which is the top rating. The Finance Team put

in a lot of time and effort working alongside Capin Crouse in the first year audit with them. Later this year, advanced planning will

be implemented in order to assist the auditor more efficiently in beginning the process for 2012.

Thank you for the gifts your association of churches sends to the Cooperative Program and designated mission ministries as we

reach people around the world in 12 days through the Cooperative Program with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

2011 IMB Report

Thank you for all you do to make Christ known among the nations. We are so grateful for how you pray for

and support the work of reaching the unreached, because together we are Southern Baptist missions. Southern

Baptist missions isn’t just IMB. Southern Baptist missions isn’t just NAMB. It is all of us cooperating to-

gether.

We have 4,849 missionaries serving through IMB. Add to that about 4,000 children, and that means nearly

9,000 people are able to live and serve overseas through the faithful support and prayers of Southern Baptists.

Thank you for your faithfulness! Last year, in mission works and churches directly involving the work of your

IMB missionaries and our partner churches (churches that we’ve helped to plant and their daughter churches,

who are planting other churches), 333,823 people chose to express their faith in Christ through bap-

tism. Through your support, 28,873 new churches were started last year among 201 different people groups.

IMB personnel began working with a total of 100 newly engaged people groups. Around the world we were

directly involved in training 23,400 men to be pastors of local churches. Another 22,360 people were being

trained as church planters.

We are grateful to the Lord and to Southern Baptists for last year’s Lottie Moon Christmas Offering of

$146,828,116 which, though lower than our goal, was still the fourth largest Lottie Moon offering in history.

And it surpassed the previous year by $1.2 million! We are so grateful to Southern Baptists for that incredible

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering in the midst of continuing economic uncertainty!

In addition to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, we received $6.4 million for hunger, relief and develop-

ment ministries around the world. And through our Cooperative Program, the means by which we cooperate

to do more together than we can do individually in missions, seminary training and ministry, $94,361,000 was

given to IMB. That’s roughly $2 million less than the previous year, but still significant in these times.

In 2011 we challenged the churches of your association and state convention to embrace an unengaged, un-

reached people group. These are people groups that, to our knowledge, do not have anyone working to engage

them in a church-planting strategy. It is our desire to see every unengaged, unreached people group become the

focus of someone who wants to help lead them to the Lord. Currently over 1,500 Southern Baptist churches

and entities are exploring what it will take to embrace one of these people groups. We are grateful for this re-

sponse and pray that God will lead more churches, associations and groups to meet this challenge so that all

may come to know our Lord and Savior.

2012 NORTH AMERICAN MISSION BOARD MINISTRY REPORT Appointment and Support of Missionaries

With major adjustments to missionary categories in 2011, NAMB commissioned 95 units (166 individuals) to appointed missionary and chaplain service, of which 20 (12%) were African-American/ethnic minority. In addition, NAMB commissioned 116 new missionaries serving through Mission Service Corps (MSC)-funding (self-funded).

NAMB placed 1,530 students in summer and semester assignments. Of those, 100 served in urban areas, 15 among Hispanic ministry areas, and 66 within Canada. Ten US/C-2 missionaries were appointed, five in church planting roles and five in direct evangelism roles reaching unreached or under-reached people groups in four urban areas. The US/C-2 category of service is being phased out and new and significantly different categories will be available in 2012 for those serving in post-graduate, internship types of missionary roles.

The Kaleo Network, a long-term nurturing resource for Southern Baptists who are exploring or pursuing God's call to ministry has 3,314 members and 408 coaches.

In 2011, NAMB made significant strides in making the missionary personnel approval process more efficient as well as simplifying missionary categories. The table below reflects the Appointed, Approved, and Endorsed Missions Personnel by major group category as of December 31, 2011. Non-appointed spouses are not reflected in the list.

3,650 Chaplaincy 214 Collegiate/University 262 Evangelism/Love Loud 495 Legacy Mission Service Corps 1,429 Mobilization/Church Planting 1,530 Sojourner/Summer/Semester 216 State Convention Staff

Evangelism The Evangelism Response Center (ERC) now relates to all 42 state conventions and 35 SBC and non-SBC agencies. A total of 601 new Telephone En-

couragers and 40 Regional Facilitators were trained during 2011. All certified Telephone Encouragers and Internet Encouragers are required to give 30 hours of service per year. In 2011, ERC received 16,852 calls, an average of 1,400 per month. There were 1,220 people who accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior through ERC and its partnership ministries. In addition to these decisions, ERC referred more than 900 people to covenant churches. The ERC phone number will be placed on all God’s Plan for Sharing related initiatives until 2020.

As part of World Hunger Funds given by Southern Baptists, NAMB received $1.3 million for domestic hunger. In North America, Southern Baptist domestic hunger ministries fed 5 million meals and reported more than 30,000 professions of faith.

The annual Soul-Winning Commitment Day resources equippped 5,200 church leaders to share the gospel. Crossover Phoenix volunteers recorded more than 1,000 decisions for Christ.

Establishment of New Congregations Partnering with the Canadian National Baptist Convention, NAMB is helping to assist the convention in its goal to start 1,000 churches in Canada by 2020.

There are currently 268 SBC churches and church plants in the country. Through NAMB's strategy of Send North America to mobilize and equip Southern Baptists in planting evangelistic Southern Baptist churches, more than 700

churches have registered to become involved in church planting efforts somewhere in North America. Amost 400 invidivudals have contacted NAMB to explore the possibility of becoming church planters themselves, and more than 350 others want to explore other mission opportunities in North America.

In 2011, 27 urban areas were chosen to be places of emphasis for church planting. Three of these cities are in Canada and the reaminder in the continental United States. New York, Vancouver, and Indianapolis are all "up and running." Work is underway in a number of other cities to coordinate strategy development and partnership engagement.

Christian Social Ministries NAMB’s church and community and pregnancy resource ministries facilitated the engagement of 165,000 Christians to sow the gospel through ministry oppor-

tunities In support of God’s Plan for Sharing (GPS), convention partners and missionaries engaged 262,777 believers in effectively sharing their faith and assisted in

the start of 385 new churches and 738 ministries starts, which reported 34,656 professions of faith in Christ.

Volunteer Missions An total of 190,975 volunteers were engaged through the ministries of Baptist Builders, Campers on Mission,Disaster Relief, Appalachian Regional Ministry,

and The Bridge. The number of projects available on The Bridge at the end of 2011 was 836. Although, the technology used for The Bridge is out of date, the benefits this tool

provides are still very much valid.

Missions and Missions Education On March 1, 2011, NAMB announced that it would transfer oversight of the Royal Ambassadors® andChallengers® missions education organizations

to Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU). The transition will be accomplished by September 1, 2012. This transfer will create a stronger overall missions education organizational presence in Southern Baptist churches and will allow for future growth and viability. Baptist Mencontinues to remain with NAMB, but a stronger partnership is anticipated with LifeWay in promoting how Baptist Men can be more involved in missions. NAMB continued development of and posted new, free lessons for theDrop-In Mission Education (DIME) online resource.

Communicating the Gospel Through Technology More than 350 versions of promotional materials and resources were produced for local churches to use as they host God’s Plan for Sharing (GPS)-related

events. NAMB produced 32 videos featuring missionaries and the places in which they serve. On Mission magazine now has a circulation of 214,819.

Strengthening Associations In 2011, NAMB assisted in the initial equipping of all jointly funded associational directors of missions (ADOMs) who are transitioning to become church plant-

ing catalysts. Three workshops (Canada/Northeast, Midwest, and West regions) resulted in each participant leaving with a draft plan of action for implementing church planting strategy inparticipant leaving with a draft plan for action for implementing church planting strategy in their spheres of influence. Approximately 275 transitioning ADOMs participated in these workshops.

Disaster Relief In 2011, a year in which the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) reported that only 2 states (Michigan and South Carolina) did not have a

federally declared disaster, 37 Baptist conventions responded to wildfires, tornados, earthquakes, floods, windstorms, tsunamis and other types of disasters. More than 11,000 volunteers worked to provide 1,051,816 meals; helped 7,708 homeowners with clean-up and recovery assistance; recorded 10,291 chaplaincy contacts; provided resources for 26,421 showers, and led 310 people to faith in Christ. In partnership with Baptist Global Response, 16 volunteer teams re-sponded to Japan, providing aid to those affected by the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear incident. As a result, Southern Baptists were invited to occupy a per-manent seat on the National Mass Care Council to help with the development of a National Mass Care Strategy. NAMB and a number of state conventions part-nered to engage more than 350 college students in a pilot disaster response to Hurricane Irene. NAMB hosted a summit with a select group of Baptist College Ministers and state Disaster Relief directors to establish guidelines for training and deployment of students. More pilots are being conducted and debriefed to establish best practices for training and responses with college students. NAMB has invested $1.5 million in vehicles and equipment to support disaster re-sponses.

OKLAHOMA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY

David W. Whitlock, President

OBU announced plans to launch a new $40 million capital campaign, moved forward with plans for three on-

campus construction projects, reorganized academic units, received national recognition and experienced enroll-

ment growth for the fourth consecutive year during 2011.

The capital campaign, titled "OBU 2020: Vision for a New Century," addresses capital needs including con-

struction and renovation of academic and housing facilities, as well as increasing the University's endowment. The

campaign supports OBU's strategic plan adopted in 2009, "OBU 2020: Vision, Mission, and Values." OBU 2020,

which addresses the first decade of OBU's second century, includes seven strategic initiatives related to academic

programs, scholarships, student services, university relations and support of personnel. The initiatives are

tied to OBU's five core values: Christ Centered, Excellence Driven, Learning Focused, Missional Purposed and

Community Directed.

In October 2011, trustees granted approval to begin construction as funding becomes available for the first

phase of a student housing village, a new nursing/allied health center, and relocated and enhanced intramural fields.

Plans for the first phase of the residential village construction include three new apartment buildings that will ac-

commodate 230 students and cost approximately $10.2 million. The proposed nursing/allied health building is a

two-story, 31,187- square-foot building with projected cost of $8.4 million. The third construction project includes

the relocation of existing lighted intramural fields to the northeast section of the campus, at a projected cost of $1.1

million, to create space for the new football stadium on the west side of campus.

The academic unit reorganization divided the College of Arts and Sciences into two colleges, the James E. Hur-

ley College of Science and Mathematics and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and created the new

Herschel H. Hobbs College of Theology and Ministry. These three new colleges join the OBU Graduate School

and the existing three colleges, the Warren M. Angell College of Fine Arts, the College of Nursing, and the Paul

Dickinson College of Business.

Through the University's Avery T. Willis Center for Global Outreach, OBU sent Global Outreach teams around

the world in 2011 to work in Alaska, Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Brazil. The GO Center coordinates

ongoing programs offering students the opportunity to serve and lead in outreach efforts locally, statewide, nation-

wide and globally. OBU continued to have more alumni serving through Southern Baptist's International Mission

Board than any other university in the world in 2011 and continued to be a national leader in ministry involvement.

Through Campus Ministry programs, students participated in small group Bible studies, corporate worship services

and community outreach. Approximately 90 OBU students were engaged in six local ministry programs during the

year.

OBU continues to produce leaders through its academic programs equipping them well in their field of study

and preparing them for service in their communities. The OBU Students in Free Enterprise team was named a re-

gional champion at the SIFE USA Regional Competition. The SIFE team organized six outreach projects in the

Shawnee community to improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need. OBU graduates had a

90 percent acceptance rate to medical schools, business graduates scored in the top 10 percent in the nation

on their major field exams, and teacher education graduates passed their competency exams at a rate of 97 percent.

In athletics, the OBU Lady Bison indoor track team won its fourth title in seven years, and new men's and women's

swimming and diving programs were added.

OBU continued to gain national recognition for quality in 2011. For the fourth consecutive year, Forbes.com

listed OBU as the state's highest rated college, ranked 299th on the list of 650 institutions, in the organization's an-

nual listing of "America's Best Colleges." Listed for the seventh straight year, OBU was one of only five Oklahoma

universities named a "Best in the West" institution by The Princeton Review. The annual listing is based on the

publication's institutions, in the organization's annual listing of "America's Best Colleges." Listed for the seventh

straight year, OBU was one of only five Oklahoma universities named a "Best in the West" institution by The

Princeton Review. The annual listing is based on the publication's student opinion data. For the 20th straight year,

Us. News & World Report rated OBU as one of the top 10 comprehensive colleges in the western region of the na-

tion. OBU was the only Oklahoma college or university on US.News' annual ranking of "Great Schools, Great

Prices" for 2012. OBU was the highest-rated college in the state for the 18th consecutive year for the

news magazine's 2011 rankings.

99

OBU freshman enrollment soared to a 15-year high for the 2011 fall semester with a total of 476 first-time

freshmen. The freshman class represented the largest total of first-time freshmen since 1996. A total of61.9 percent

of the students were from Oklahoma, with 32.8 percent coming from 38 other states, and 5.3 percent from 27 other

nations. The University's faculty for 2011 included 110 full-time educators. A total of 71 percent ofOBU's full-time

faculty and academic deans hold earned doctorates. All OBU faculty members are evangelical Christians.

During the 2010-11 fiscal year, gifts to OBU totaled more than $7.6 million. More than 3,000 donors contrib-

uted to the University during the year, providing support for scholarships, operational expenses, construction and

renovation projects, equipment and endowment. OBU trustees adopted a $47.69 million budget for the 2011-12

fiscal year during the winter 2011 meeting. The total average cost for a full-time, on-campus student for 2011-12

was $25,756. OBU continues to be a significant value among members of the International Association of

Baptist Colleges and Universities and the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. Each year, more than 95

percent of OBU students receive some form of financial aid.

Dr. Bobby Kelly, Ruth Dickinson professor of religion, received the University's Distinguished Teaching

Award in May 2011. The award is given to a faculty member who has maintained his or her teaching career in ex-

emplary fashion. Dr. Michael Dean, assistant professor of music, received the Promising Teacher Award, which is

given to a junior faculty member who demonstrates outstanding potential as a teacher. Bobby Cox, head baseball

coach and professor of kinesiology and leisure studies, received the University's Meritorious Service Award, which

is presented to a faculty or staff member who has made a substantial commitment of talent and service to OBU.

Eight faculty and administrative staff members retired at the end of the 2010-11 academic year. The retirees

represented 205 years of service to OBD. They included: Dr. Ronda Hall, professor of Spanish, 37 years of service

at the University; Sandra Meyer, associate professor of music, 35 years of service; Bobby Canty, dean of students,

27 years of service; Dr. Robert Dawson, WMU professor of missions, 26 years of service; Anne Hammond, associ-

ate professor of English, and Dr. Paul Hammond, professor of music and dean of the Warren M. Angell College of

Fine Arts, 25 years of service; Dr. Eugene Hobbs, professor of mathematics and chair of the Division of Science

and Mathematics, 15 years of service; and John Little, director of .estate and gift planning, 13 years of service.

As OBU looks to the future with the Vision for a New Century Capital Campaign, the University remains faith-

ful to the pioneering Oklahoma Baptists who sought to build a Christian liberal arts university and moves forward

with thankfulness for the ongoing, dedicated support from Oklahoma Baptists. Our mission remains constant and

clear: As a Christian liberal arts university, OBU transforms lives by equipping students to pursue academic excel-

lence, integrate faith with all areas of knowledge, engage a diverse world, and live worthy of the high calling of

God in Christ.

PRAYER AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

Dr. Gregory R. Frizzell

This past year Dr. Frizzell has conducted major conferences in forty Oklahoma churches and associations. He has conducted

multiple strategy consultations with pastor search committees and individual pastors. He was the keynote speaker for the Native

American Gathering in Minocqua, Wisconsin; the Brazilian Baptist Pastor’s conference; the Directors of Missions conference in

Dallas, TX; the Alabama Annual Pastor’s Conference; and the Arizona Southern Baptist Convention.

The Office of Prayer sent a packet of material to all Oklahoma pastors for the National Day of Prayer emphasis. Dr. Frizzell

also conducted the pastor/leader's prayer meeting at the State Capitol on the National Day of Prayer and an afternoon and evening

regional prayer meeting at Oklahoma Baptist University.

Dr. Frizzell published and distributed the following resources: Saved Certain and Transformed, How to Conduct a Solemn As-

sembly and Forty Days of Seeking God – for Revival, Elections and Key Leaders. Saved Certain and Transformed is a unique tool

for in-church evangelism and a foundational element in church plants. Forty Days of Seeking God helps unite believers in fervent

prayer for revival and God's direction in national elections.

Dr. Frizzell is nearing completion of Clean Hands and Pure Hearts, A Pure and Holy Bride –“A Biblical Plumb Line for Cor-

porate Repentance” and Return to Me – “A Solemn Assembly of Full Surrender.” Translations are in progress of How to Develop a

Powerful Prayer Life for Mexico and Venezuela. It is our great desire to provide more and more resources for the Hispanic commu-

nity.

We are also nearing completion of a new book called Empowered for Life and Service. This is a tool for use just before some-

one preaches, witnesses, teaches a class, conducts a business meeting or facilitates planning meetings for missional strategies and/or

church planting. The tool is designed to ensure we are ministering and doing strategic planning with the full power and direction of

the Holy Spirit.

True revival utterly depends on local pastors and their churches going deeper in prayer and repentance. Because it is all about

the local church, the growing priority is to provide resources that can help saturate all of our ministries with empowered prayer in

yielded hearts. Without deeper prayer and Holy Spirit empowerment, all efforts at evangelism, church planting, discipleship, and

various ministries can only have limited impact. This office is profoundly grateful for the faithful prayer support of Oklahoma Bap-

tists.

SUPPORT SERVICES

Ron Fannin, Sr. Associate Executive Director

Baptist Building or Property Updates The Support Services office maintains a 105,000 square foot building, six stories, owned and operated by the Baptist General Con-

vention of Oklahoma at 3800 North May Avenue, Oklahoma City, OK. We maintain lease agreements with each of our affiliate or-

ganizations here in the Baptist Building to serve Oklahoma Baptists from one main location.

Budget Matters The Board of Directors recommends an annual financial plan voted at the BGCO annual meeting held each year in November. This

financial plan is monitored by the Executive Director, Associate Executive Director, Chief Financial Officer, and each of the team

leaders. We are grateful for the Cooperative Program gifts from our churches that make this financial plan possible. The financial

plan allows us to share the Gospel literally around the world.

GuideStone (Annuity) Updates Retirement accounts through GuideStone are encouraged for employees as well as pastors and staff in our local churches in order to

provide adequate provision for these families past their working years.

Historical Commission The Historical Commission helps to encourage an appropriate writing and preservation of historical documents for our convention as

well as individual churches. The Commission also recognizes church anniversaries with the congregations. The Oklahoma Baptist

Archives are kept on the campus of Oklahoma Baptist University.

Insurance Renewals The BGCO continues to provide medical, dental, and disability insurance for our fulltime employees and many of our retirees. This

benefit allows our staff to provide encouragement and training for our churches and maintain good health as they work. We further

work in securing liability insurance that protects us from physical damage on all of our properties including our campgrounds.

Personnel Updates Several new employees came to the Baptist Building this year due to the resignation of others. Brian Hobbs was named Editor of the

Baptist Messenger while continuing as Public Relations director. We are blessed that God continues to send multi-talented personnel

to our staff.

Print Services BGCO Print Services provide the printing of the WRAP newsletters on the outside of the Baptist Messenger for individual churches

who choose to use that form of communication. They also broker the printing and prepare the mailing of 65,000 Baptist Messengers

weekly and print many individual pieces for BGCO events as well as local churches.

WMU

The main purpose of WMU® is to educate and involve preschoolers, children, youth, and adults in the cause of Christian missions. WMU’s age-level organizations include Mission Friends®, for preschool boys and girls from birth through kindergarten; Girls in Action® (GA®), for girls in grades 1–6; Royal Ambassadors® (RA®), for boys in grades 1–6; Children in ActionSM, for boys and girls in grades 1–6; Acteens®, for girls in grades 7–12; Challengers®, for boys in grades 7–12; Youth on MissionSM, for boys and girls in grades 7–12; and Women on Mission® and Adults on MissionSM. WMU supports these organizations through age-appropriate magazines and other resources. In addition, WMU involves collegiate and young women in missions through myMISSIONSM, an organization supported by Web-based resources. WMU® continues to actively promote giving through the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention and giving to our two mis-sions offerings. In 2010,* WMU helped raise $145.6 million to support international missions through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering®, and has helped raise more than $3.4 billion to support international missions work since initiating the first offering in 1888. In 2010, WMU also helped raise $54.3 million for missions work in North America through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering®. Since 1907, when official reporting began for the home missions offering, receipts total more than $1.2 billion through 2010. All of the funds raised through these two missions offerings go directly to the mission boards to support field personnel. In partnership with WMU of Texas, national WMU® hosted more than 50 missions leaders from 13 states for an Ethnic Leadership Summit, January 28–29, in Birmingham, Alabama. Hispanic, Navajo, Russian, and Chinese were just 4 of the 11 cultures represented by leaders who met with a common goal—to increase missions involvement in their churches through WMU. In March, the North American Mission Board announced plans to partner with WMU® for day-to-day operations of Royal Ambassadors® (RA®), the missions organization for boys in grades 1–6, and Challengers®, the missions organization for boys in grades 7–12. WMU® introduced GA JourneyTM in September as the new individual achievement plan for Girls in Action® (GA®); it replaced WorldVenturesTM The fourth annual Children’s Ministry DayTM provided the framework for children to experience the joy of serving others. On February 19, ap-proximately 2,300 children across the country collectively put their faith into action by sharing the love of Christ in their communities. Begun in 2007, myMISSIONfulfilled.com has been a Web-based approach to involve young women in missions. Following a vote of the WMU® Executive Board in January to further develop myMISSIONSM as an official missions organization to give it greater visibility and more re-sources, we conducted research and made plans this year to further engage this audience. While resources for myMISSION will remain Web-based, a completely new, interactive Web site, along with a host of downloadable resources designed for young women, were developed this year and will be launched in early 2012. More than 350 gathered for the WMU® Missions Celebration and Annual Meeting, June 12–13, in Phoenix, Arizona. Missionaries shared ways God is working around the world and expressed their gratitude to WMU members for their faithful prayers. Participants also enjoyed opportunities for worship, personal growth, and fellowship. During this event, Debby Akerman of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, was elected to a second term as national president, and Rosalie Hunt of Guntersville, Alabama, was elected to a third term as national recording secretary. Approximately 2,350 girls in grades 7–12 and their leaders, along with some collegiate young women, gathered for BlumeSM where they were encouraged to appreciate their spiritual and missions heritage and consider ways they could share Christ with others and live a legacy of faith . . . even now in their junior high, high school, and college years. (Blume, a three-day missions event for teen girls sponsored by national WMU®, took place July 13–16, 2011, at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.)
