The Ort Family

For 5 weeks, we were blessed to have a group of students from around the world attending ILTI at the LEI headquarters.

This year, the National Missionary Convention was held (conveniently) in Tulsa from Nov. 20-23.  Literacy and Evangelism International again had a booth and was staffed by various individuals from LEI headquarters.

On Sunday, the Kautt family of Creation Evangelism Tools, who we were privileged to meet, shared a meal with us in our home before their drive home.  Mr. Jim Kautt ministers in Tübingen, Germany, with his wife.  Tübingen was the city where Georg and Martha met for the first time, so the mention of that city immediately caught our attention .

After months upon months of hard work and collaboration with others, Paul Stefan has launched the new LEI website.  No doubt he will continue working to improve the website, but what we can see now is certainly cause for congratulations.  Good job, Paul Stefan!

One of the highlights of our year at LEI is hosting a group of students interested in learning about literacy ministry.  The first two-week module finished today, and six of the students will be going back home.  We look forward to spending more time with the other students in the 3 remaining weeks of the course.  Please pray that each one would learn what God has for them, and that they would be effective ambassadors of our Lord Jesus Christ.

International Community Outreach hosted a banquet last night, which we were privileged to attend.  This ministry exists to glorify God by meeting practical and spiritual needs of international students through acts of service and through the proclamation of the gospel of Christ.  In other words, the goal is to make sure that no international student leaves Tulsa without having had a meaningful explanation of the Gospel.  This is certainly a great and noble task since it is estimated that 1500 to 2000 international students come to Tulsa every year.  (more…)
