Program lets students minister to youths Friday nights at ‘Mission Center’



Nearly 30 OBU students spend their Friday nights with about 40 children at the center.

Through “Mission Center,” a ministry of OBU’s Avery T. Willis Center for Global Outreach, Oklahoma Baptist University students are dedicated to ministering to families in Oklahoma City’s Stockyards City neighborhood.

Every Friday night a group of 25-35 OBU students spend time at the Baptist Mission Center with an average of 40 kids ranging from preschool to high school ages. The college students walk routes to pick up the local kids for the evening. After arriving around 6 p.m., students and kids participate in a variety of activities, from arts and crafts with the younger children, to an assortment of sports with the older youth. A Bible study follows at 7 p.m., and then everyone is fed before they are taken home at 8 p.m.

Information: (405) 878-2372.
