Lifeline Ministries of Shawnee

/0 Comments/in , , /by

My roommate Gaylon and I enjoy sharing the gospel and raising up disciples! We both currently work full time in a secular jobs and volunteer in ministry where the opportunities are available. Each week we have the opportunity to minister to the inmates at the local jail as part of a team of chaplains. We both look forward to speaking at community events when asked, offer prayer in and out of church, and speak at our church when asked.

We currently minister through prayer, teaching from the word, Bible study, and mentoring, as well as inviting people to join us at Hart Street Full Gospel Church in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

We look to grow the ministry further by mentoring others in discipleship. Offering life coaching and Christian based counseling to help those growing in their walk with Jesus. Building each other up in faith, and holding each other up in prayer.

S.A.L.T. Ministries

/0 Comments/in , , /by

S.A.L.T. Ministries is founded by licensed minister, Christopher Smith. I am unmarried, embracing this season of singleness while focusing on the Family of the Lord Most High. I have not always walked with God. Our Father called me into ministry over three decades ago, but sadly I didn’t answer the call until these last few years, and only now my life is worth boasting of His goodness!

Matthew 25:31-40 summarizes my purpose in ministry through faith and for hospitality to others who are in need, discipling others who are also called to be salt and light that they may be thoroughly equipped to provide for the needs of the less fortunate and so glorify Christ the Lord!!

S.A.L.T. Ministries is an acronym for Seven Arenas of Life & Testing – spiritual, mental, physical (spirit, soul, and body), marital, parental (oikos discipleship), social, financial (evangelical outreach)! Beginning with the whole health of the entire person (1 Thessalonians 5:23) created in God’s image, we then teach them to be a kingdom husband/wife to prepare to fulfill the cultural mandate (Genesis 1:27-28) to be fruitful and multiply and also teach and equip leaders who will go, teach, and equip leaders to fulfill the great commission (Matthew 28:19-20) through discipleship and outreach!

As a recovering addict (24 years) and alcoholic (22 years) who found hope in none other than JESUS Christ Himself (3 years in recovery), my primary ministry is to the ones who still struggle with addictions, sharing the message of Hope found in Jesus (the only One who can break their chains) when they believe in Him to have power over the defeated darkness and truly call upon His name for their salvation. Once they have been delivered, we teach them about the Father’s cultural mandate and the Son’s great commission that are only possible to us who believe by the Power of the Holy Ghost who has given us new life and equips us to the ministries He has called us to!!

We offer prayer, hospitality, recovery counseling, conflict resolution, Bible study/teaching, and officiant services to approximately 100-150 souls, which will multiply in the blessing and favor of the Lord! Amen.

  • Getting to Know Us

We are Ronnie and Sandy Hoskins, and we have been blessed to share life together in marriage since 1982. God has blessed us with five children—two by birth and three whom we joyfully welcomed into our family through adoption—as well as two wonderful grandchildren for whom we are deeply grateful. Sandy and I first met at Bible college, where our journey in ministry began together. Since that time, the Lord has opened many doors for us to serve Him. We have pastored a small church, officiated funerals, prayed with those who were sick or nearing the end of life, and shared the hope of Christ with many people. We believe God has called us to serve Him faithfully, and we trust He will continue to guide and use our lives until the day we meet Him face to face.

Our key ministry verse is:
“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,”
(2Timothy 1:9 NIV)

  • Our Coming to Christ and Calling to Ministry

We have both walked with God since our youth. Sandy is the daughter of a Pentecostal Minister and has been involved in ministry for most of her life. Over the years, she has faithfully served in the church through teaching and childcare ministries. Sandy was saved when she was nine years old and baptized at the age of eighteen. Ronnie was saved when he was ten years old during a revival meeting and was baptized three months later. When Ronnie was thirteen, he attended a summer youth camp where the Holy Spirit stirred in him a deep desire to tell others about Jesus and His saving grace. It is Ronnie’s desire to be a light for Jesus and to guide lost souls to the light of Jesus. (Joh 8:12 ESV),

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Ronnie and Sandy are members of Yukon First Church of the Nazarene, where Ronnie occasionally leads the midweek worship service. He also serves as a substitute Sunday School teacher, teaching whenever and wherever he is needed.

  • Our Calling to this Soul Center

Our calling is to build meaningful friendships with people in our local community who may not yet be connected to a church. As an ordained minister, Ronnie is available to provide ministry support when needs arise, including officiating weddings or funerals, administering the sacraments, visiting those who are ill, and offering comfort during seasons of stress or hardship. Above all, we desire this ministry to be guided by the Holy Spirit, so that those who are lost may come to know the Lord and believers may experience peace and renewal for their souls. We believe the primary purpose of a Soul Center is to help people connect with Christ so their souls can flourish. James 5:20 ESV says, “let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.”

  • Who We Serve

We are grateful for every opportunity God gives us to serve people in our community, our church, and our family.

  • Our Ministry

Our passion is to share the love and truth of Jesus Christ with family, friends, and especially with those who do not yet know Him. As needs arise, we are available to support others through officiating services, administering the sacraments, visiting the sick, and offering comfort during seasons of stress, grief, or hardship. We are also committed to a strong prayer ministry, believing that prayer is at the heart of every Christian ministry.

Psalms 145:18-19 ESV,  “The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. (19)  He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.”
