Goodbye Okmulgee...I love you
 
In 1993 my wife and I drove into Okmulgee for a 6 month stay. Little did we know the tremendous blessings we would receive the following 13 1/2 years. For 4 1/2 years I had the honor of assisting Rev. Mark Morgan. The next 9 years I was privileged to be the pastor of some of the finest people God ever placed on the earth.

However, tonight ended a chapter in our lives. I resigned as pastor of Deliverance Tabernacle. This morning I was voted in as pastor of the church in Corinth, MS.

Today has been a bitter sweet experience. I have shed many tears and held my family close. I wish the church in Okmulgee knew how much I love them.

While we look forward to the challenge in Corinth, we will miss Okmulgee greatly.

Please pray for us and the saints in Okmulgee.

God Bless!

This will bring new meaning to the phrase, "To the Church at Corinth."

God Speed on your move Toof. Good to see your name posting here again!

We recently had a youngster pass through here preaching and he said he knew MM and considered him a mentor. He also said that the pastor here was a good man because anyone who could pastor in Okmulgee has to be a good man...then he made a statement that kind of puzzled me...he said Okmulgee was where all the demons bedded down for the night, then in the morning went on their merry way...

Godspeed Toof!

Toof, good to see you posting again & while I am sorry of the turmoil of emotions both you and the Church at Okmulgee are going through, I am certain that the Great God we serve has it all in control both now and at your future Pastorate!

I trust all went well. I never doubted that you would do the will of God regardless of the personal angst and emotion. May God bless all that you do for Him in this new endeavor.

Hey Toof..praying for ya'll.

I know it had to be hard, but since that's what "Jesus told us to do," have at it!!!!

God's gonna bless your life and your ministry in ways you'll never expect.

Love you guys!!!
