IGC Branch Church celebrates Anniversary

Faith Mission, IGC celebrated 11 years of serving the Lord and the greater Tulsa community last Sunday. Pastored by Pastor Grace Edobor (from Nigeria), FMIGC was founded to minister to the needs of a growing Bible Study group at Normandy Apartments. From those humble beginnings, the ministry has grown into a full-service church with a consistent schedule including regular weekly worship services ; children’s outreaches; a weekly Senior Citizens Bible study and food pantry; Hospital chaplaincy, Bible studies for Russian-speaking residents; ministry services in the Tulsa suburb of Coweta.
Bishop LaDonna preached a wonderful sermon about FAITH to grace the occassion!

My Best Men are Women!




My Best Men are Women!

Thats what Salvation Army Founder William Booth said about the vast numbers of women that he and his wife, Catherine, enlisted to carry out the work of the Salvation Army at its inception 150 years ago! Since that time the Salvation Army has infiltrated every continent with a Gospel message demonstrated with love in action!

So, it comes as no surprise that Bishop LaDonna chose to convene the summer class of W.I.N. (the Women's International Network) at Sundbury Court, the Salvation Army International Headquaters in London, England. Women (and men) from Congo, Nigeria, Canada, Holland, England, Belgium, America and Nigeria are studying this week in an intense ministry course.


With Bishop LaDonna is Pastor Chyanna, Rev. Rachael Miller (WIN Administrator), Paula Derby, Katrina Shaw, Ceretha & Hosanna Terrell-Causey, and Rachel Thomas (Bishop's oldest granddaughter).

W.I.N. is a ministry of International Gospel Center, and our church is proud to be able to say that we are equipping and sending women as well as men into the world well equipped to DO Gospel Ministry ! http://www.winministry.com/

Celebrating our Legacy while Forging Our Future!



At Friday's Staff Chapel this week, Bishop LaDonna Osborn gathered the OMI staff (Osborn Ministries International), and members of our IGC Youth Group for a time of teaching and vision casting. Many of the OMI staff have served in our missionary organization for over 50 years - many of these youth are heading for their first missions trip! What a great combination! As our founder-pastor says, "POOR DEVIL"

It's Not Too Late - Hear Dr. T.L. Osborn 'LIVE' at IGC


Friends from the Tulsa area and beyond gathered at International Gospel Center (IGC), along with those who call IGC "home," to hear veteran soulwinner Dr. T.L. Osborn on May 17. Believers were inspired. Unsaved accepted Christ. Youth sat on the edge of their seats. His messaage was unique. Bible days came to life, as he told stories of Christ's resurrection power TODAY! His message, "Why Trust the Resurrected Christ" is now available on both CD and DVD. Pastor Chyanna encourages you to check out the IGC Bookstore to own your own collector's copy of this special event.

Tuesday at IGC

We are in an AWESOME newcomers class . . .Bishop teaches a vital course on Redemption. This week's teaching topic: Remember Who You Are! Those new to IGC (and a few oldies) are being reminded of our REALITY as redeemed people of God:

  • We receive a new spirit when we are BORN AGAIN!

  • We were created for FELLOWSHIP with God!

  • And re-created for FELLOWSHIP with God!

  • In defining God - Do Not DISSECT Him!

It's not too late to join the class - Tuesdays at 7:00.

Student Responses?

I love this ministry because it teaches and lives redemptive truth

This place takes the puzzle pieces of your life and help put things back
together

I've served the Lord along time. Every night when I got home from
church, I used to ask, "where's the freedom"? Since I started coming here
I now have it.

Dr. T.L. Osborn and Bishop LaDonna Care About Children










The children of IGC are continually exposed to the message of Christ which is for ALL people. They are learning about Jesus and His MISSION. Bishop LaDonna taught them that "MISSION is telling people about Jesus." This is the great mission that Jesus gave to all of His followers. Even children can tell their friends about Jesus.

Dr. T.L. and Bishop took the children and youth on a "Missions Field Trip," to the international headquarters offices of the Osborn Ministries International. They learn about the early years of the ministry and the Osborn family. They were happy to see that their bishop had been involved in ministry from childhood. Their eyes stared as they saw the photos of lepers healed by the power of God.
It's never too early to teach children that each life is valuable to God - both those needing Jesus, and those who tell them about the great love of God. This is the Jesus-life at its best - TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS.
