Seek & Save: Tulsa
October 22-26, 2024
Tulsa, OK
A COLLABORATIVE OUTREACH EVENT TO BRING HOPE TO TULSA
Together we can do more! We are excited about Seek and Save TULSA. Bringing Hope, Encouragement, and Salvation through the message of Jesus to communities across America. At Seek and Save, we are passionate about transforming communities through faith and love. We are committed to turning the soil and sharing the message of Jesus to every community.
Did you know that there are more than 411,000 people (about half the population of Montana) in the Tulsa area? Did you know that the Assemblies of God make up 5% of evangelical churches? Five percent of 411,000 is 20,550! What if God would allow OKAG to work together to reach more than 20,000 with the hope of Jesus Christ?
This October, OKAG will share hope with thousands during Seek and Save Tulsa. Seek and Save is quickly approaching, and we need you! We would love for every church in Oklahoma to be involved in serving the week of October 22-26.
