2014 Outreach Fall Summary Report Brief Summary of Projects/Ministry performed:

Most weeks, the team goes in to hang out with the kids for about an hour a half. During free time, the boys usually play basketball, football, and soccer while the girls will jump rope or sit on the bleachers and paint nails or talk. They had a party/carnival with different games and activities, including carving pumpkins, during Halloween. During thanksgiving the team and the kids made a poster of all the things that they were thankful for and the team shared the story of Paul and Silas and how they gave thanks to God even in the toughest situations. For Christmas they threw a party celebrating Jesus’ birthday. It was a big hit! The kids had so much fun decorating ornaments and cookies, playing games, and eating baked goods from the team.

Summary of Contact Relations:

Jamar is the contact but James is the one who spends most of the time with the team. James interacts with the kids even when our team is there. He always expresses his gratitude for ORU. The team leaders do a great job of asking what else they can do to help. I have been able to build a relationship with James over the past four years. He came to my church a couple of times this semester. James also invited some of us to enjoy thanksgiving with his family at the Boys and Girls club, about 10 of us came.

Testimonies:

“I saw Julia, one of the outreach members, spent a lot of time talking one on one with one of the smaller boys. She was able to learn about his home life and pray with him before we left the outreach.”

-Shana Westover (10-8-14)

“I have learned that God has given me certain gifts to relate and see people who try to be tough in order to hid their true vulnerability, and then be able to speak to them”

-Faith Storie (10-22-14)

“I learned not to judge the kids by their circumstances or looks. Most of the kids were so well behaved and loving. It made me so happy to see them rise above their circumstances.”

-Olivia Taverna (10-29-14)

2014 Outreach Fall Summary Report Summary of Organizational Needs:

When we go on the outreach most of the balls are flat. We raised $150 2 years ago and brought brand new balls, but James keeps those locked up for special occasions because in the past the nicer balls have been stolen. I asked James what are some other needs we can meet and he said art supplies and pencils. They have a new staff member that is in charge of developing more programs for the kids to do so they involving reading, writing, and art. He said he was thankful for all that ORU does and would let us know if there was something else we could help with.

2014 Outreach Fall Summary Report Brief Summary of Projects/Ministry performed:

The teams taught soccer skills to the Burmese refugee children and were the hands and feet of Jesus to all of them. They prayed with each child, taught devotionals and life lessons, and were mentors to each of the kids.


Bobby Parks has a passion for these children and helps develop the leaders and members of this outreach. It is convenient to have him as the Director of Missions and Outreach, so getting ahold of him is not a hard task. Bobby does great through texting and phone calls. He is a great contact to work with.

Summary of Behavioral Science Volunteer Hours Performed:

Strengths: Areas for Improvement:

Well-organized Well-staffed Committed – both students and children Plenty of children come Evident signs of growth (both spiritually

and physically) in the children Dedicated coaches

Further development of spiritual life in the children

Further development of both the technical and tactical aspects of the children

Better communication system to contact the Burmese children

Testimonies:

“The most important thing that I learned was the willingness to play a sport that someone else loves is a successful point of contact with that person. Jesus is in everything I am see Him at the outreach.”

–Michal Clayton

“The most important thing I learned this week is knowing that there are so many people who have a heart for missions. Serving has always been a pleasure to me. Leadership is not always about leading people from a title but also going through life together in the same direction.”

–Thang Piang

6

2014 Outreach Fall Summary Report “The most memorable moment was when two of the boys came up to jade and I and quoted, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’ “

–Blessing Ajibero

“This week it was pouring down rain so only two kids showed up, however they totally loved it and it was great to invest in those two. At the end of practice, we talked about Thanksgiving, which was really fun. We were able to discuss ways that you can show thankfulness to God. It was great to hear from the kids about this. One kid suggested that you can say, ‘Thank you’ to God throughout the day for little things. This made me realize I need to take more time throughout the day to do that very same thing.”

–Mark Keil

Summary of Organizational Needs:

More soccer gear to equip the children – they are currently in the process of partnering with the West Side Alliance (WSA), whose director is the ORU Women’s Soccer coach (Roger Bush), and if they can form an actual team they will need more equipment (e.g. soccer balls, shinguards, socks, uniforms, etc.). Snacks and water for the children for their games and practices would be great too. Transportation for the children from ORU to the WSA Sports Complex will also be needed for next spring.

Brief Summary of Projects/Ministry performed:

Each week, the team tutors the children in the Cornerstone after-school program. After academically tutoring the children, the team plays games in the gym with the children. Each outreach member is assigned one to two students to individually mentor each week. At times, ORU students serve in different capacities, like cleaning or teaching. For Christmas, the team through a Christmas party with dancing, Christmas caroling and cookie decorating. They preached the gospel and showed the kids that Jesus is the reason for the season.


Mr. and Mrs. Lewis are excellent contacts. They both work best with phone calls. Rossalyn is great with emails also. The OC contacts with Rossalyn more about preparation for the outreach. On site, the team works with Mr. Lewis the most. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lewis are great at pouring into our team. At times, they have even brought food for our outreach members to show their appreciation. They are very graceful, humble people.

2014 Outreach Fall Summary Report well-being.”

-- Genesis Mora 10.21.14“The most important thing that I’ve learned is the importance of serving in God’s kingdom. We as Christians can impact so many lives even in little things. I definitely grew in leadership and also, it made me reflect on being selfless. I learned that ministry occurs anywhere we go because we are the light of the world.”

-- Angie Reyes 10.28.14


Cornerstone’s most pressing need is for volunteers to tutor the children. The majority of children come from generational poverty. They are not used to having adults as positive role models. This is why our team is a crucial asset to their program. For many of the children, the ORU Outreach team is the only one-on-one academic help they receive. Since we started tutoring at Cornerstone, they have seen major improvements in their students.

Our team has provided translating for the Spanish-speaking clients at the clinic. Also the nursing students work at taking vital signs and blood sugar tests along with shadowing the doctors. The team was also able to pray with multiple sick clients for holistic healing.


Vanessa is off and on with communication, text and phone calls are better for time sensitive needs. She communicates more with the Outreach Coordinator but not as much on site with the team.


Leaders are extremely committed and passionate.

Imani is a great HTL and great with communication and casting vision to the team.

Student involvement. Involvement on site for non-Spanish

speaking students.

Testimonies:

“One of the most memorable moments of the day was the time of fellowship we had as a team together during outreach. I loved getting to bond with everyone and grow together.”

- HTL Imani Agard 9-24-14

“The most important thing is that no matter how we feel, God’s spirit is within us and He will do the work in us. We just have to be available and have faith that God put us there for a purpose and we should always seek His voice…”

–Katherine Flores, TL 10-22-14

“I learned that love has no language barrier”.

– Lauren Hendricks 10-29-14

2014 Outreach Fall Summary Report “I have been learning that even though life and school get crazy, it is my commitment with God and I am so thankful that I go each week”

–Kathy Flores, TL 11-5-14

“I learned how important it is to have faith and portray that belief to those you are serving. People feed off of your faith.”

–Ilana Silva, TL 11-12-14

“I feel that this outreach played a huge role in my growth as a leader. I learned the importance of communication and humility. I also learned that a leader should learn how to properly delegate responsibilities and not take the entire workload on myself.”

– Imani Agard, HTL 12-3-14


The leaders want to help by giving resources, like Glucometers, blood pressure and blood sugar instruments.


There have been some problems concerning what we originally thought about the details concerning this outreach. At the beginning we found out that we could bring no more than five students to serve and this went down to three in November. Also, our students that are not bilingual are not being utilized on site. The students that are being utilized are greatly enjoying this outreach and the time served. I would recommend that we keep this as a volunteer outreach but it is no longer meeting the weekly outreach requirements.

On Saturdays at 8 AM and 12 PM, our teams drive to a specified home building site on the north side of Tulsa to help Tulsa Habitat build homes for families in need. We do whatever the site supervisor has for us to do that day, depending on how far along that house is in the building process. Due to lack of projects available the team has been working on a house through Tulsa Dream Center; where the team served in painting, removing floor tiles, gutting rooms, drywall, tearing down walls and much more.


I have kept in contact with Paula mainly through email, and rarely over the phone. However, due to funding complications for Tulsa Habitat the students have only been able to go out two times. Even though Paula is extremely appreciative of our efforts, the program has not had the number of projects that they are used to having. Due to this, the students has been working week to week with Tulsa Dream Center where they have assist Pastor Tim on building a safe house in North Tulsa . Both contacts, Paula and Pastor Tim has been tremendous in communicating needs from the team, and the Outreach Coordinator has been keeping up with a weekly check –in with them to communicate upcoming events, concerns, and weekly improvements.

Summary of Behavioral Science Volunteer Hours Performed:


Communication: the leaders, especially the HTL has done a tremendous job communicating to team members.

Transportation: Because 2 of our team members are van driver certified we’ve had a van and a van driver every week we went out.

Our main challenge was communicating with Habitat when projects were no longer available.

Consistency: many of the leaders were busy throughout the semester leaving the bulk of the responsibilities of the outreach on one or two people.

More publicizing can be don’t to get more volunteers to help out every week.

Testimonies:

“Love just doing small stuff things that is overlooked, but brought so much joy to that neighborhood.”

– Natalie Lachowicz

“The lord is re-teaching me to enjoy life this outreach is contributing to that lesson.” – Brendan Campagna


At this point, our team’s consistency each week is the most important thing we can do at this point. Since Tulsa Habitat does not have too many projects available for us, Pastor Tim look forward to ORU assisting him and Tulsa Dream Center on his next building project. Availability among the leaders is important to take the weight off of the HTL, drivers are needed as well.



We are attempting to get the word out to encourage more people to volunteer, and promote team members to bring their friends and floor to assist.

With the upcoming cold months, we will see if the consistency of members will stay the same.

No changes have been made.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF PROJECTS/MINISTRY PERFORMED:

Throughout the semester the team was able to build relationships with the students by finding common ground in games, conversations and English. Since it is the same students each week our team enjoys the consistent relationships being deepened.


Our contact, Amy, is very flexible. The best way to contact her via e-mail. The organization does not require constant communication because of the outreach type.

Testimonies:

“By talking with each student, I was able to find a connection with each student whether it was by speaking some Spanish with them or connecting through sports, etc. I want to help the students feel loved and accepted”.

–HTL Brittany Hamilton 9-22-14

“I learned that a simple game of ping pong can be the start of a great friendship”. – Kevin Gamas, HTL 9-29-14

“I was amazed and humbled by the fact that these students have the strength to leave their homes for long periods of time to learn a new language. Their strength amazes me!”

–Michelle Burciaga, TL 10-20-14

Brittany, HTL, is very consistent and intentional.

The Team Leaders were consistent and excited every week.

Great quality team members

Not a large volunteer turn-out Would like more time at the site More than once a week

2014 Outreach Fall Summary Report “I was reminded that even if someone doesn’t speak the same language as me they still have hopes, dreams, and hurts and need the love of God”.

–Brittany Hamilton, HTL 10-27-14

“Since English was also my second language, I was able to help them feel better about it. I encouraged them to keep trying even when they mess up”.

– Michelle Burciaga, TL 11-10-14


The organization is not in need of anything tangible in particular. The leaders request prayer for more opportunities to share Christ.

Each week, the team tutors the children in the John 3:16 Bible Blast program. After academicallytutoring the children, the team plays games on the playground with the children. Then, the team joins the children for a bible study and time of worship. At times, the outreach team serves in different aspects, such as leading small group bible discussions after the congregational bible study and worship time. The team also stays for a dinner with the pastors each week directly after the program for the children ends.


Kara Moseby is our main contact for the John 3:16 mission. She is incredible. She is the volunteer coordinator for the entire John 3:16 Mission. She does a great job returning emails as quickly as she can and is great with phone calls when they are needed. She is very appreciative of our team and treats them with respect and kindness, but she is not our on site coordinator. On site, the team often consults with Lauren Rooke. She ensures that the team is effectively used and that the team is safe. She does a great job communicating through email and phone calls if needed. She does appreciate punctuality from the teams as well.

2014 Outreach Fall Summary Report “I didn’t expect anyone to come down for prayer. There was no music, everyone was looking around, and it was just an awkward and very raw environment. But people started coming up for prayer. The kids were bold to stand up in front of everyone to come ask for prayer. The girls told me about thir families and were transparent. It was powerful.”

– Elizabeth Ramsdell 11.6.14

“I am learning to be more of an authoritative figure, rather than just a big brother. I am not very good at raising my voice to people, especially kids. But being here is teaching me how important discipline is.”

– Michael Colunga 11.20.14

“I’ve learned the value of making yourself available. As we step out in that mindset, the Holy Spirit has begun to point out individual children to me. I can’t believe the impact of one hug or continuously showing up every week. Time invested into a child is priceless.” – Jourdan Winkler 10.23.14


John 3:16 Mission’s main needs are for consistent volunteers to tutor and mentor the kids. The majority of children come from generational poverty. They are not used to having adults as positive role models. This is why our team is a crucial asset to the Mission. For many of the children, the ORU Outreach team is the only one-on-one academic help they receive. Also, many of the children have grown up in families with inconsistent family member involvement. It’s crucial that our team is consistent, both male and female, to show the children how much they are loved, and that they are worth more than our time. The children need individual encouragement. Our team provides that through speaking life and sharing the gospel weekly.

On a weekly basis, the Outreach team interacts with children between the ages of one day old to seventeen years old. The team consistently provides love, one-on-one interaction, and a positive adult influence to the children. The team consistently was used by the Lord to help stop children from committing suicide and going a-wall.


Forrest, our main contact, can be a little hard to contact. He works best with phone calls. However, it only takes him about a week to respond to emails.

“Over two years ago, I took home a Bible from a Bible club because God laid it upon my heart to give it to someone. When I was shipping my belongs to ORU, God told me to place it in the box. Wednesday, before leaving for Laura Dester, I felt I needed to put that Bible in my bag and bring it with me. Towards the end of the night, a teen girl asked me to come to her room. I did and she was telling me how she

2014 Outreach Fall Summary Report would like to have a Bible study with me when I come back. She desires to know God more. I gave her the teen Bible. I believe that she is why I got the Bible over two years ago, because God saw her first and now I have a heart to see.”

–Diana Simmans, 9/24/2014

“I learned that my team is my biggest asset. I have relied on them since the beginning. I have been learning about each member and using their strength to make the biggest impact at Laura Dester.”

–Shawn Diechman, 10/8/2014

“I learned how far the simple act of actively listening can go in forming relationships and sharing Christ’s love. Coming to listen, without judgment is different and truly sets us apart as Christ Followers”.

– Jessica Sabatka, 11/20/2014


The Laura Dester Home’s crucial need is for people to interact with the children. Because the shelter is very understaffed, the children rarely receive one-on-one interaction. This type of interaction is crucial for the children to understand their identity and value as individuals, especially given the rough family situations in which they come from. A few minor needs are for children’s clothing and toys. The team worked to meet this need by providing Christmas stockings, equipped with socks and toiletries, for every child.

Brief summary of the organization: P-61 After school program is a program for 7th through 8th grade students that uses arts, athletics, and academics in order to build mentoring relationships with at-risk youth in the Tulsa area. The focus of the program is to improve student morale by engaging students in fun and meaningful activities with the purpose of developing leadership potential and academic improvement in students. The organization is comprised of a partnership between Oral Roberts University, TOUCH Tulsa and Unite My City. Being the first year after the pilot program launching in spring of 2014, TOUCH Tulsa has now implemented an onsite coordinator and one other onsite paid worker. Additionally, UMC provides the connection between the local churches, which provides church volunteers. They also help collaborate with TOUCH Tulsa to plan future events and curriculum. Oral Roberts University sends two teams of volunteers on two separate days each week.

The day usually started with a snack time given by the onsite coordinator of TOUCH Tulsa. During that time the volunteers would strategically find out how the day of the students went. This usually was through a simple process of hearing the “high” and “low” of each student’s day. This allows them to let off built up steam; take a breath to relax, and to evaluate what happened that day at school. It would then transition into a devotional given by a staff member or church volunteer, followed by a group game, arts and crafts time, and open gym time. The students would also cycle through a rotation of a curriculum based computer software called “Buzz math” and “Buzz reading,” preparing the students and strengthening the

30

2014 Outreach Fall Summary Report student’s academic skill sets. During the open gym time the students also had the opportunity to receive personal one-on-one tutoring by any volunteer/staff member present. Additionally, on Thursdays the students take a field trip to different local businesses. This is to provide hands on and a behind the scenes look at jobs that may interest the students to pursue when they get older. It was implemented in order to excite the students, giving them a passion to pursue further schooling and to dream big.


During the launch of this semester and school year at P-61, Julie Hill, the TOUCH Tulsa onsite coordinator was the main contact relation. She was very good at returning emails and phone calls. She would often respond within the day, even outside of office hours. She was dedicated to the program and over communicated in order to provide a better environment for the students. She was a significant help getting through all of the background checks for the ORU volunteers. She worked overtime and emailed the results immediately upon receiving them resulting in a sooner start up date for ORU students to volunteer. There was little to no contact relation with KJ, the director of TOUCH Tulsa. During the middle of the semester there was a shift between onsite coordinators due to unfortunate circumstances. This led to Mollie Myers, from Unite My City, to become the new onsite coordinator. Contact relations with her were great. Mollie Myers is incredible. She always responds to emails very quickly, gives out quick texts if necessary, and also would make any necessary phone calls. She is very passionate and works tremendously hard to make this program strive. She also makes sure that the ORU volunteers are implemented correctly and are safe. She loves and appreciates our volunteers very much.

Testimonies:

“I met a P-61 student named Gabe. We became friends right away, and he really opened up to me. He told me about his life and his goals in life. I got to encourage him. Later one of the P-61 staff members said that Gabe never opens up to volunteers usually. It was awesome how God used my name to let me bond with Gabe.”

– Gabe Stark (HTL) 09/25/14

“I have learned that time is not something that should be wasted. The place our outreach is located is a rough part of South Tulsa and these students live in it. As a member of outreach I’ve realized that it’s important to use what God has given me to spread the Gospel. In addition as a team leader it is very important to step up and help out. I don’t want to go back to the dorm feeling like I could have done more.”

– Alex Cevallos (TL) 09/24/14


This organization needs a strong, consistent leader base. The students respond best to discipline when leaders have put time into building relationships. Students need high-energy outlets such as sports but also structured, quiet activities to minimize behavior problems and maximize academic growth. This organization needs leaders that are willing to give up more than one day a week in order to build a relationship with the students. Also, this organization needs a facility that has the right amount of computers that could be used with the curriculum software that allows the majority of the students to participate at one time.

32




This outreach needs less infrequent volunteers and a larger consistent volunteer base

More push on social media Adding to the volunteer outreach page for

other days we don’t send students

Tuesdays rather than Thursdays due to the need of volunteers Tuesdays, and that Thursdays are their field trip days. That makes it difficult for our students to travel to the field trip locations. Wednesday’s will remain the same.

Leadership Changes Emily Bishop has only shown up once this

semester, but she has verbally expressed interest in returning and being more involved next semester since it will consist of less of a work load.

Kelsey Andrus will not be joining back next semester. She is moving to Tennessee for a job opportunity and will not be coming back to ORU.

The main project performed by the Outreach team at the Salvation Army is putting on the Wednesday night chapel service. At the Salvation Army, they have services every night except Monday night. Our team of students plans the entire worship service for Wednesdays, including praise & worship, preaching, and individual prayer and relationship building. This Christmas the team had a Christmas party for the people staying the night there. They ate baked goods, gave little gifts and sang Christmas carols, preached a Christ centered message, students danced, and presented poems.


Gale Baker is our main contact at Salvation Army. We have also talked on the phone multiple times this semester very easy to get a hold of. Gale is extremely pleased with the consistency and passion shown by our students and loves to commend the team on their faithfulness and sincerity to minister to the residents.


Empowerment: The leadership does an excellent job encouraging and building the team.

Initiative: Leadership takes initiative creating events and special services.

Creativity: The leaders do an excellent job creating different ways to minister to people.

Vision: they really do a great job casting a tangible vision before the residence and team members every week.

Delegation: Leaders can be more intentional in getting the team members involve.

Document: they have had trouble getting their TL reports in. I addressed this issue multiple times and they seem to be improving a lot towards the end of the semester.

Communication: many of the leaders are unable to attend most of their OC meetings, and leaders are unwilling to pass down information to co-leaders

“I was praying for this man who was feeling sick , so I prayed in faith for the man, who testified that the nausea left him” - Ron Parker


Wednesday night services are the biggest need for the Salvation Army, and they have been pleased as we have been meeting this need every week. The leaders mentioned that people can use some blankets, underclothes, resume classes for jobs and maybe something for the kids to do. They can also use some refreshments for before and after the service.



Communicate passion, empowerment, and excitement to their team members!

The team works alongside with the Boiler Room which provides meals or 70 plus homeless people every Thursday night. Our ORU students help serve and also engage in heart breaking conversations. Many of our students have built lasting relationships at this outreach, which is incredible. The leaders of this outreach have such deep passion for the lost and hurting of downtown Tulsa. They have had clothe drives, blanket donations and provided small snacks. They plan on doing more projects in the Spring Semester including Ladies Day, Laundry Love, and Worship Night.


Tim Way is an incredible man. He is fully engaged in this outreach and our students that come out each week. At the beginning of the year, he likes to have a meeting with the outreach leaders in order to share the vision of Thursday Night Lights. He is involved in discipleship relationships with the leaders and members. Tim is easy to contact vie email, phone calls, and facebook. He is a very easy contact to work with.

–Jaime Bofferding, 11/6/2014

“Since last week’s outreach was challenging and unfruitful, I was a little nervous about if I could truly set the vision in an effective way. Some other leaders and I were able to share stories, share the original vision for this outreach and our hearts. We empowered volunteers to take a bold step to make an intention friend, pray for someone when they’re about to leave and share a story. I encouraged the group with, ‘What’s your why?’. At the end of the outreach, almost everyone said that they felt challenged to talk to someone, pray with someone and make a friend without the homeless stereo type mindset. It was encouraging to feel people step out in confidence, wanting to share love and faced their fear of the homeless population.I grew as a leader by meeting early, sharing stories on how impactful this outreach has been to me and other leaders as we share the vision. It was hard to step up and basically say what we are going to do but I believe laying this frame work was essential to the change what happened.”

-Jaci Pringle, 9/25/2014

“David has lived on the streets for years. He has been in and out of prison several times for many different reasons. He has been shot in the chest and has been in a lot of different life threatening situations. David has struggled with anger for most of his life; however, every time he was at Thursday Night Lights he was the most calm, sober minded man there. David stood out. David stole my attention. David captivated me because I saw him through Jesus’s view towards him. I started investing in this man and his girlfriend, Amy, about a year ago. Each week would be different, as one could guess. They had weeks were they would get kicked out of the abandoned home were several homeless would sleep or Amy would run out of money for her medicine. Yet they would have other weeks were they would talk about the goodness of the Lord and how He is going to change their lives. As the semester continued to get busier and busier, I went to outreach less and less. I wouldn’t see David or Amy for weeks. Even when I could go, they wouldn’t show up. On Thanksgiving Day, Thursday Night Lights always has a party for the homeless. They set up big screen TV’s and provide hot chocolate with dessert. I was out of town for Thanksgiving break but one of our leaders, Briana Hoyt, went. I received a text message with David’s picture saying, “Happy Thanksgiving from David. He was asking about you! He wanted to make sure that you knew that he got off of the streets. He and Amy got an apartment and he is now working at a construction site. Jesus changed his life this year and he wanted to make sure you knew.” I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to a day that is dedicated to giving thanks. David is one example of what I see

On Tuesday evenings, this outreach team goes to the Tulsa Dream Center to help with the after school program. The ORU students can either play basketball with the middle school and highschool students or help tutor those that need help with their homework and teach in the leadership class. We provide godly friendship and mentors for these young men and women to look up to and see an example of Christ.


Pastor Tim Newton is the main contact for this outreach. While he is difficult to get a hold of I was able to come across him on our first day on the outreach. I tried to email and call him and could not get a hold of him. The other staff joked around and said that “sounds like Pastor Tim.” When I did meet him I found that he is a great guy. Very passionate for the city of Tulsa and very involved with young men at the Dream Center. The leaders say they touch bases with the program director, Ms. Ashley.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF PROJECTS/MINISTRY PERFORMED:

Each week the team participates and helps with the chapel that is held for all of the students. Tulsa Hope Academy brings in their own external chaplain/pastor to preach a series of sermons throughout the semester, and at times our team will help facilitate that. In combination with chapel, our team helps tutor the students one-on-one and help choreograph/encourage each of the students with their performing arts talent. The students at THA each have their own performing arts talent, such as, rapping, spoken word, dance, etc. They hold showcases and events where the students perform for a crowed, and our team helps support them through the process and at times attend the showcases. A key ministry is through consistency and building relationships. A lot of the students need mentors and role models in their lives, and our team does that through consistency and weekly investments into personal relationships with the students at THA.


Ruth Ketcham is our main contact for THA. She has stepped up into a huge role at THA due to unfortunate circumstances with the director. She has been very gracious, patient, and very thankful for our team each week. She has been relatively good with communication. There has been a couple of circumstances where there was a big gap time that passed before hearing back, and one time that THA cancelled school but forgot to let our team know not to show up. Also, at times, the expectations for our team seem slightly unclear. Outside of those few instances the communication has been great and Ruth has encouraged the team in a great way through her discipline, optimism, and gentle heart.

Testimonies:

“Sometimes the things you think you will never use or are not your strongest skills, God can use to help guide others. Nothing is insignificant to God.”

– Analynn Salvato 10/01/14

“God taught me patience today. He taught me patience in teaching new concepts, but he also taught me patience in developing relationships with your contact and beginning to see the fruit of our work. We may never even see it, but we must trust that his timing is perfect.”

–Daniela Popa 10/08/14

“I was able to pray for these girls and tell them how God views them. The Holy Spirit gave me verses to share with the girls and encouraging words.”

– Analynn Salvato 11/14/14


Overall, Tulsa Hope Academy needs more consistent leaders and volunteers that are willing to put themselves away and serve the students at THA selflessly. The students struggle with a lot of insecurity and family issues. The students need role models. They are understaffed so a lot of that will come through volunteers. THA also needs funds raised for their organization in order to support what they wish to support their students with for the upcoming semesters.



Push harder on social media More males specifically Badly need more consistent members

Change day and time TBD. Waiting for needed days/times available from THA, and school schedule


If the time and day does not change we will lose Analynn and Rachel.

Analynn would make a great HTL/TL next school year.

Our team visits the care facility every Saturday and we did a variety of activities with the residents. We have played cards, shared stories, and made snacks; but the resident’s favorite time is when the students play music. During the Christmas party we hosted this year, students sang Christmas carols with the piano and other instruments and decorated Christmas cookies with the residents.


Tony is a new contact this year; she replaced Lauren right after the semester started. This was an interesting transition because they were not aware that we would be coming each Saturday morning. However, it has been gradually getting better. It is best to reach Tony by calling the main line and being connected. It may take a couple times to call her but she will usually return with a message.
