Re: Pastor Billy Joe Daughtery
I attended ORU for 3 years and went to Victory a lot. I always remember Billy Joe standing at the escalator shaking hands with everyone as they left the services. He would stand there for hours every Sunday, he was very touchable, even when the memborship grew into the 10,000's mark. On any average Sunday there might be 4-5 thousand there. There were many ministries that he set up and helped sponsor. He was the best church administrator, period. He worked with the ORU business department and developed a 1, 5, 10, 20, year plan for Victory; one of the men who helped write the plan was one of my business profs.
As you pray, don't forget to pray for Sharon, she must be lost without him. She was a devoted pastors wife, leading the praise and worship in the early days, and ever faithful.
I was amazed at how they were able to carve out a place in the religious mecca of Tulsa and navigate through the controversy that always surrounded ORU and thrive is despite of it.
