Invite missionaries to visit your church
Oklahoma congregations can hear firsthand how God is at work around the world when three missionaries visit the state in late August and late September.
1. A Tulsa native and former member of Tulsa-Christ UMC, missionary Mary McKnight Escobar serves in Paraguay as director of a daycare center for young children. The center is in a poor neighborhood of Asunción.
Escobar is available to visit Oklahoma churches between Aug. 24 and Sept. 4.
