Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ Conference – 2008 “Overwhelming Success”

What began as a dream 30 months ago continues to build momentum.

Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ Conference – 2008 was held on Friday night, July 11 and Saturday morning, July 12, at the Hardeman Auditorium on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University in Edmond.

The mission of Reclaim Oklahoma is To educate our pastors, legislators, educators, students and all citizens as to the truth about America's Christian Heritage and the role of fundamental, Biblical Christianity in the establishment and function of our legal, legislative and educational systems; and to work towards the successful reestablishment of these values in our society today."

An estimated 1200 people gathered on Friday night with over 800 returning Saturday for this year’s event.

David Barton, Founder of Wallbuilders, shared from his vast collection of original documents regarding the irrefutable Christian faith of our Founding Fathers. Mr. Barton also shared results from recent elections and challenged Christians to make their voices heard at the ballot box this November. Barton said, “Elections are not a reflection of the will of the people. They are a reflection of the will of the people that vote.” He noted that great progress was made in Congress over the past ten years as almost 70% of Congressmen and Senators were pro-life and pro-family. However, in 2006, nine of ten freshmen Senators were pro-abortion and pro-homosexual marriage. That is what happens when Christians decide to stay home rather than vote.

Dr. John Morris, President of the Institute of Creation Research, shared compelling evidence through lecture and slides on the evidence of a young earth and shared archeological evidence that substantiates the Biblical teaching of dinosaurs.

Mat Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and the Dean of the School of Law at Liberty University, spoke on the threat to our American culture by the redefinition of traditional marriage. On Saturday, he delivered a stirring challenge to Christians entitled “Don’t Be Afraid of the Words You Have Heard” taken from Isaiah 37:5.

Bill Federer, President of Amerisearch, made his third appearance at Reclaiming Oklahoma and has spoken at each of the three previous annual conferences. This year Mr. Federer taught on the history of Islam and the trail of deceit and blood that extends all the way back to its founding.

This year’s event was co-hosted by 27 different Pastors and Churches.

America was established as a result of a great revival called the Great Awakening. In fact, John Adams named patriot pastors as being “most influential” in the call for liberty in America. The British Parliament derogatorily referred to these pastors as the “Black Regiment” as they would ascend to their pulpits in their black robes and stir the people’s hearts to liberty every Sunday.

Pastors must be reminded that we aren’t called by God to be “managers” of competitive businesses. We are called to proclaim “Thus saith the LORD” and prepare our congregations for ministry and then to lead them out in evangelism and to take a strong stand for righteousness in our culture.

We take for granted our liberties including religious liberty, not recognizing that we are literally one election away from our Government having the ability to pass “hate crimes” legislation which will make Bible preaching against the law. We are in desperate need of another Great Awakening, otherwise the face of America may drastically change in the very near future.

In addition to the 27 hosting pastors, ministers from across the State of Oklahoma and surrounding states attended this year’s conference. Pastors from Kansas, Missouri and Texas expressed their desire to take a strong stand for Christ in their respective states. That is the ultimate goal—to awaken pastors. Reclaiming Oklahoma is not a once per year “cheer session’, but an annual boost as we assist and equip pastors and their congregations to be a continual presence of “Salt and Light” in their own communities.

The first Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ was held in October, 2006, and drew about 200 people. The second annual conference was held in July, 2007, drawing around 400. Momentum continued to grow as roughly 1500 joined together in January, 2008, for a “One Day Crusade to Save America” with Pastor/Evangelist Rick Scarborough and Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt. In April 2008, over 2000 crammed into the State of Oklahoma State Capitol, with thousands more being turned away because of capacity limits, to rally in support of Representative Sally Kern and Traditional Biblical Family Values.

Over 2000 turn out to Rally for Sally Kern and Traditional Family Values!!
On Wednesday, April 2, a tremendous demonstration of support for State Representative Sally Kern and Traditional Family Values was held at the Oklahoma State Capitol.  Over 2000 people, including an estimated 150 pastors from around the state, jammed the first floor rotunda and spilled over to the 2nd and 3rd floor balconies to watch to program and express their support for Kern.

Just minutes before the scheduled noon start, Capitol Security asked organizers if the rally could be moved outside because of the tremendous crowd.  A Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ spokesman said, “We were told that there were still lines of
people waiting to get in and they (Security) would not allow any more people into the Capitol.”  Unfortunately it was logistically impossible to move at the last minute.  Even though hundreds of additional supporters were not admitted, the Rally for Sally and Traditional Family Values went on as scheduled.  The forty-minute program was hosted by local radio personality Reid Mullins.  Local pastors Jack Bettis, Steve Kern, Rod Rieger, and Chilles Hutchinson voiced prayers and led
 in the singing of the National Anthem.  Special Guest Speakers included Stephen Black, from First Stone Ministries, who shared his testimony as a former homosexual who was born again out of that lifestyle 26 years ago; Peter LaBarbera, President of Americans for Truth; and Paul Blair, Pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond and founder of Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ.  But the highpoint of the day was when Rep. Sally Kern addressed the crowd.

Kern, after receiving hundreds of threats and hate filled e-mail from members of the radical homosexual lobby around the country, was touched by the tremendous outpouring of support.  She said, “I’ve been called lots of names, and I can’t repeat most of those names.  Some of the good names I’ve been called have been courageous, brave and a hero.  And I want you to know – and I mean this with all my heart – I have more trouble relating to those good names than I do the bad names.  I say that because I’m a sinner and I’m not worthy of God’s grace.”

The Rally was carried live around the world via the Internet on the Wiley Drake Show (www.crusaderadio.com).  During the program, Reclaiming Oklahoma headquarters received nearly 100 phone calls and e-mails from around the country expressing prayer and support.

A special thanks is extended to the ministers who participated in this rally and the thousands of Christians who came from as far away as the Oklahoma panhandle, Texas and Kansas.  Also, a very special thank you to KQCV Radio, the local Bott Radio Network affiliate and Oklahoma’s Quality Christian Voice.
