The #1 reason is the Holy Ghost---OK has church! #2 reason is the humility, integrity and character of its DS. #3 is the men who pastor in OK are good men who believe in revival and love the ministry and people. They really get along. I attended a section prayer breakfast several years ago and the prayer with one another, the breakfast and fellowship following was refreshing.
I don't know anything about the politics of OK, but what I know and have observed is that its one of our up and coming districts. While other districts are cutting back their camp meeting schedules to three, four or five days, OK still goes Sunday-Friday with maximum crowds every night (2500-3000 people---the day crowds are 1,000 strong).

I live in Oklahoma.  I'm not attacking the OK district...just participating in the topic at hand. I agree that Bro. Martin is a good DS. I don't know that I agree with the rest of your post, at least, not in such glowing, optimistic terms.
