On Saturday, August 17, we will gather at Regency Park Church of the Nazarene in Tulsa to have God shape us in His image and make us disciple-makers who journey with the people in whose lives He is working. A collaboration of Nazarene Youth International (NYI), Nazarene Missions International (NMI), and Nazarene Discipleship International (NDI), this event is designed to challenge, transform, and equip every believer.
We are planning on four session tracks with discipleship topics featuring insightful and inspiring speakers. Expect to have a hard time choosing which session to attend!
At the same time, we will be offering training in four further session tracks: NYI, NMI, Children’s Ministries, and Adult Ministries. This is your opportunity for growth if you are already serving in these areas, and a chance to take a look if you sense the Lord’s leading into serving at your church.
We will post many more details in the coming weeks as speakers are confirmed and specifics are worked out. You may also want to like the Northeast Oklahoma NDI Facebook page ( @neokndi ) for more frequent DDD updates and ongoing NDI information and resources or follow us on Instagram ( neokndi ). Meanwhile, check out the NDI YouTube channel for videos of our last DDD.

Transition
Pastor Joe Gschwandtner has removed the “Interim” from his title and is now the Lead Pastor at Wagoner Church of the Nazarene. Installation will be on June 30, 2024. We welcome Joe and Rebekah to this new assignment, and are confident God will use Joe at Wagoner as he has as our NDI District Chair.
Pastor Jason Isaac, founding pastor of Tulsa Kaleo, has accepted a call to serve as Adult Ministries Pastor at Cross Bridge Church in Rockledge, FL. Jason grew up at Tulsa Central, served 8 years as youth pastor at Tulsa Regency Park and started Kaleo 9 years ago with a vision of a church that blended ethnicities and cultures in worship and service of Jesus. It has been so fun to see Pastor Jason grow and Kaleo flourish these past 9 years. We pray God’s best for Jason, Chrissie, Thomas, Sunnie and Jett! We will always claim you as a part of the NEO family!
