In the Gap

At In the Gap, our heartbeat is to proclaim the gospel of jesus christ and to equip upcoming generations to live with courage, integrity, and purpose. We exist to raise up children and youth who will shine god's light In their schools, families, and communities and to mobilize the body of christ to help every child see, feel, and know how much jesus loves them.operation impactin 2024, god moved powerfully through operation impact, our summer outreach program that brings bible clubs directly into communities across Oklahoma city. These vibrant, gospel-centered clubs were hosted In apartment complexes, city parks, and local churches turning everyday spaces into places where children could encounter the love of jesus.throughout the summer, 84 summer missionaries came from across the nation to serve alongside local churches, pouring their hearts into reaching children and families. Together, they helped lead 54 week-long bible clubs, where:1,065+ children attended and heard the good news of jesus,353 unique gospel presentations were shared,455 bibles were given to children and families, and38 children made decisions to trust christ as their savior.every number tells a story a child who heard about god's love, a family impacted by hope, a volunteer who discovered their calling to serve. None of this would have been possible without the faithful partnership of 21 local churches and the generosity of our donors and prayer partners who made these life-changing moments possible.as an exciting extension of the summer outreach, we hosted the first-ever operation impact summit during fall break. This follow-up initiative gave returning missionaries an opportunity to serve again and continue building on the summer's momentum. During the summit:6 bible clubs were held In apartment complexes,188 children attended,6 children received jesus as their savior, and17 summer missionaries participated and served.this special event allowed returning volunteers to put their training and experience into action once more, sharing the gospel and demonstrating christ's love to even more children across Oklahoma city.we are filled with gratitude for each person who prayed, gave, and served so that every boy and girl could see, feel, and know how much jesus loves them.

These clubs create a bridge between churches and schools, giving children the opportunity to hear about jesus In a safe, fun, and welcoming environment right on their own campus.in 2024, our team worked diligently to equip and mobilize believers across the state. We trained 154 volunteers, representing 24 churches, through our bible club boot camp training events equipping them to share the gospel, disciple children, and effectively lead bible clubs. Along the way, we personally met with 77 individuals to share the vision of reaching children through after-school bible clubs.as a result of these efforts, 11 bible clubs were launched or re-launched during the fall of 2024, with an average of 542 children attending each week and having the opportunity to hear and experience the love of christ.every club represents a light shining In the midst of a school community where children are discovering that they are seen, known, and deeply loved by jesus. We are profoundly thankful for every church, volunteer, and partner who has joined hands with us to make this vision a reality.to learn more about how your church can adopt a local school and bring the gospel to children In your community, visit www.mission414.netwe thank god for every donor, volunteer, and partner who prayed, gave, and served to make this mission possible.
