40 years!
Next Wednesday evening crowds will gather at the Tulsa State Fairgrounds to begin the three-day TULSA WORKSHOP!
I attended the very first one in 1976, spoke at the second one in 1977 (as a guest preacher from Quincy, IL.), and then directed the third one in 1978. What a fabulous ride!
The workshop continues to be a kingdom tool to inspire, encourage, and promote outreach. It started that way and will be the same this year. The format is always designed with "reach" in mind.
When I begin to plan the workshop program (as my good colleague Shane Coffman and I alternate years), I think about the churches across our land and in other nations that are the size of 38 or 73 or 125 in membership. I wonder what we could do to offer popular speakers who they might not otherwise get to hear. Plus, it is a consistent thought of ours as to what would give them a boost in their work back home.
From Wednesday evening's keynote with John Alan Turner to Saturday's rallying final keynote by Jeff Walling at 4:00, the workshop will be powered by the Holy Spirit to send us back into the world with a charge!
If you plan to be here, spread the word of this exciting venture! If you hadn't planned to be here, I would encourage you to make new plans!
Too, all who plan to stay over for Sunday are encouraged to visit one of our area churches. Memorial Drive will have only one assembly that day which will be at 9:00 (like in nine) for those needing to get on the road.
