We know that God is a God that answers prayer. We can all

give testimony to the fact that we have received and experi-

enced that truth!

The Oklahoma Executive Presbytery has asked that a Season

of Prayer be proclaimed in every church across Oklahoma.

Every pastor holds the key for success.

SUNDAY – NOVEMBER 27 DAY OF PRAYER

TUESDAY – NOVEMBER 29DAY OF FASTING

There are two specific requests.

1. OUR NEW CAMP CONSTRUCTION AT SPARKS 2. OUR NEXT GENERATION CAMPAIGN

This once-in-a-lifetime project offers unlimited potential

for our Fellowship. This is an Oklahoma Project that must

be shared with every person who worships in one of our

churches. Across our state, approximately 60,000 people join

in worship on any given Sunday!

WE NEED A MIRACLE – and consequently two days have been

chosen. Sunday, November 27, has been designated for every

church to join with us in a congregational, unified prayer for

our new camp.

THEN FOLLOWING – Tuesday, November 29, has been

reserved as a day of fasting for a miracle. We are asking

that thousands join together on this one day in fasting and

intercession. Please agree for a financial miracle, favor with

contractors, and blessings upon construction. We further

request prayer for wisdom upon our district leadership team

and anointing upon our camp directors.

Would you help by encouraging your people to join with us

as an Oklahoma Family by believing God for a miracle?

“And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by PRAYER and FASTING.” -Mark 9:29 KJV

No season or holiday so accurately describes the intent more clearly than THANKSGIVING!

The very mention of the name kindles warm expressions of

family and yes, food. The proclamation associated with the

founding of America, however, carries a direct link with our

God. What a wonderful opportunity to “practice” a Biblical

admonition.

Ephesians 5:20

Psalm 118:21

I Thessalonians 5:18

Philippians 1:3

I Timothy 4:4

I wish it were possible for Linda and me to physically give a

hug and a personal word of encouragement to every

member of our ministerial family. Please know that you are

highly valued and deeply loved by the Cargill family!

As we join around our table with seats occupied by immediate

family, be assured of our thoughts and prayers! Until we meet

– either here or in heaven:

We give thanks for you!Happy Thanksgiving!

Honored to Serve,

Frank and Linda Cargill

Oklahoma AG Ministries Pastor

Happy Thanksgiving!“Give THANKS to the LORD and PROCLAIM HIS GREATNESS.” -Psalm 105:1 NLT

2012 shapes up to be a politically charged year in the United States. Political rhetoric isred-hot, and the dividing line between right and left seems to grow daily. All of us have opinions. In

fact for many of us, our beliefs run deeper than mere

opinions. They are deeply held convictions about which

we can become very emotional. Whether we like it or not,

as leaders of exempt organizations, the Internal Revenue

Service (IRS) has placed some pretty clear restrictions as it

relates to “church involvement” in political campaigns. If we

are unwise in navigating these choppy waters, we run the

risk of jeopardizing the exempt status of our churches.

For an organization to be tax-exempt under section 501(c)3

of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) it cannot “participate

in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing

of statements) any political campaign on behalf of (or in

opposition to) any candidate for public office.” This applies

to all religious institutions – including churches. That being

said, this does not mean that there are not activities you as

ministers, and the church as an exempt organization cannot

do to promote civic-minded involvement.

The IRS has provided a resource website specifically for

churches and charities that is full of publications, resources,

and online mini-courses designed to assist them in

navigating through issues such as these.

The site – www.stayexempt.org – provides one mini-course

specifically targeting the issue of church involvement in the

political realm entitled “Political Campaigns and Charities:

The Ban on Political Campaign Intervention.”

This mini-course addresses questions such as these:

What activities are prohibited?

What activities are permissible?

Inviting candidates to speak in your church.

Publishing voting records and positions of political

candidates.

Speaking out on social issues.

It would be wise for church leaders, both pastors and board

members, to become familiar with the limitations in place

when it comes to political campaign activity to protect the

church’s exempt status.

Other Missionary News

In this approaching holiday season I am reminded of Jesus’ quote by Paul as found in Acts 20:35. “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” No doubt, these words of Jesus have different shades of meaning. One thing this verse has always meant to me was the fact that “it is more blessed to give,” because I have something to give. I cannot give that which I do not have. I am blessed because I can give what He has blessed me with. What a wonderful time of year to offer thanksgiving to our Lord. We have been highly favored by God to give so that others might know the Supreme Giver. Our giving expresses our sincere thanksgiving to the Lord.

Oklahoma’s Newest Missionaries

Jonathan and Ali are products

of campus ministry. They have

labored among us now for over

two years at the University of

Oklahoma as Missionary

Associates. Most of their

support as M.A.’s has come from

their own converts at Louisiana

State University. In September

they were approved as U.S.

Missionaries. With God’s help

and the partnership of our churches and friends they should have

their budget raised and be back on the campus in spring of 2012.

Chi Alpha found both Jonathan and Ali as they were hanging out in

the dorms as college freshmen at Louisiana State University.  They

both committed their lives to Christ their very first year at college

and were radically changed by the Lord’s grace and love. Firsthand,

they experienced the power of the Gospel to change students’

lives and committed themselves to seeing that change happen

over and over again in the students around them.

After graduating from Louisiana State University, they took a year

to train through the Chi Alpha Internship Program in Louisiana.

After completing the program and becoming licensed ministers,

they married in June of 2009 and moved to Oklahoma to work full

time with Nick Callaway and the Chi Alpha team at The

University of Oklahoma. It didn’t take long to realize God has plans

to reconcile the students at OU back to Him and He was inviting

Jonathan and Ali to be a part. Now, they are US Missionaries with

the Assemblies of God.  Together, they mentor and minister to the

students at OU, continue to develop a lifegroup ministry for the

growing OU Chi Alpha and work to see life change in and through

students every day.

Ladies Continue to Invest for Eternity!

Because of women giving to missions, much has been

accomplished for our Oklahoma missionaries this year. By the

end of 2011 at least 10 missionary families will have received

household funds. This is so important when setting up home

on a foreign field.

In addition to meeting the continuous needs and projects of

missionaries, we are endeavoring to raise funds for the NEXT

kitchen project. This new district camp facility is a necessity

as we minister to the entire family. From the camp kitchen we

will be feeding children, youth, women and men of all ages.

We know that what happens spiritually at a camp or retreat is of

utmost importance. But having said that, we know the need of

physical nourishment, fellowship and laughter around a table

are huge contributors to the experience.

Let me ask you, have the ladies in your church given to the

kitchen project? Any amount whether small are large will help

make a difference! Send your money to the Oklahoma

Women’s Department and designate funds as “kitchen project.”

Be watching for the 2012Women’s Ministries Packetcoming to your local church!

The 2011 MAIN EVENT Men’s Conference was

everything it was planned and hoped to be.

Men from across the state converged onto the

campus of NORTHchurch in Oklahoma City to

what has become an event full of testimonies.

Great energy. Great fun. Great inspiration.

And, changed lives from a GREAT GOD! The

experience was manly to the core with a

professional boxing ring and boxer, straight

talk to the issues men face, a rockin’

conference band, and a hilarious comedian

to close out both sessions. Next year’s MAIN

EVENT has been slated for October 26-27,

2012, back at NORTHchurch in OKC. Reaching

men on purpose!

DEAN GUTHRIE //Children’s Directordean.guthrie@okag.org

Fall has got to be my absolute favorite time of year. I absolutely love the time from mid-October to the end of December. I don’t know if it’s the anticipation of the

holidays, the excitement of spending time with family, or just the

season itself. But of all the seasons - winter, spring, summer, and

fall…. (no, I don’t feel a song coming on) - fall is my favorite.

In life, especially in ministry, we face different seasons. Not just

the ones mentioned above, but as you read in Ecclesiastes 3, you

will see the different seasons that we go through in life.

1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under

heaven:2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant,

And a time to pluck what is planted; 3 A time to kill, And a time

to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; 4 A time to

weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time

to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to

gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw

away; 7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence,

And a time to speak; 8 A time to love, And a time to hate;  A time

of war, And a time of peace.

Every change or season we go through is fixed and determined

by God. We must take things as they come. It is not in our power

to change what God has appointed for us. So as we go through the

change of seasons in our life, we must continually depend on the

grace and comfort of the Lord to see us through those seasons.

Knowing that God has complete control of what each believer

faces in life, we have also got to realize that if he leads us to it, he

will also lead us through it.

Everything is made beautiful in its time. Each season of life we

go through is beautiful. In all these seasons, we can still be

fruitful for our Lord. God has awesome things for us to do, no

matter what season we are going through right now.

Seasons of Life

In Memory OfGlen Lee9/1/1931 – 9/13/2011

Reverend Glen Lee age 80 of Lexington,

formerly of Oklahoma City, went home to be

with the Lord on Tuesday, September 13, 2011

at his home in Lexington. Glen was born on

September 1, 1931 in Oklahoma City to Jasper

J. Lee and Beulah E. (Pierce) Lee. He was the

4th son of five children. He grew up in Antioch

and later Elmore City where he graduated with

the class of 1951. After high school one of his

first jobs was working as a cabinet maker in

Pauls Valley. In 1957, he moved to OKC and

went to work for Okla. City Linen Service. It

was then he met the love of his life, Kathryn

Boutwell. They were married on February

7, 1959 in Pauls Valley and that same year,

received his ministerial credentials with the

Assemblies of God.

Glen began pastoring in 1961 in Fittstown, OK.

God where he pastored for 21 years. Before

retiring, he was the Senior Adult Pastor from

1993-2002 at Bethesda Assembly of God. In

2003, Glen and Kathryn moved to Lexington

to be close to their family. Throughout his

life, Glen’s passion was sharing the gospel

and loving people. He dedicated his entire

life to spreading the good news of God’s

love through his son Jesus Christ. He will be

remembered as a loving husband of 52 years,

a wonderful father, grandfather and great-

grandfather, a special brother, beloved pastor

and a dear friend to all those that knew him.

2011. Derrell was born in Grapeland, Texas,

on April 11, 1942, to Delray and Lorene Miles.

He was the fourth of five siblings. He grew up

in the east Texas area. He met and married the

love of his life, Gayle, while attending

Southwestern University in Waxahachie,

Texas. Derrell and Gayle were married on June

tors of the Topsy Assembly of God in Eucha,

Oklahoma.

While pastoring in Smithville, Missouri,

Derrell felt the call of God to go to Ivory Coast

West Africa as a missionary. After one year of

language school in Switzerland, Derrell and his

family spent three years ministering in Ivory

Coast. Derrell also served the mission field of

Lome’ Togo West Africa and ministered with

the West African School of Theology. Besides

his missionary journeys to Ivory Coast and

Lome’Togo, Derrell’s ministry took him and

Gayle to Brussels, Zaire, Honduras, Ecuador
