Book Description
For 50 years, Oklahoma Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (OSBDR) volunteers have ministered in the name of Jesus to survivors and victims of both natural and man-made disasters in their home state, across the U.S. and around the world.Beginning with a response to massive flooding in October 1973 in Enid, Okla. and vicinity, OSBDR volunteers have served as the hands and feet of Jesus as they have loved on people by preparing hot meals, clearing away debris left behind by tornadoes, hurricanes, ice storms, wildfires and many other catastrophic events, and ministering not only to people's physical needs, but also to their spiritual needs.And the Rain Descended: 50 Years of Oklahoma Baptist Disaster Relief chronicles five decades of selfless service by thousands of highly-trained OSBDR volunteers who have answered the call from the Lord to "Put themselves in the offering plate," many times in uncomfortable, exhausting and heart-rending situations.Through the years-and standing on the shoulders of its resolute founders and other leaders-OSBDR has become a nationally-recognized disaster response ministry, highly respected among its peers and among the leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention.May future generations embrace the standard established by those who came before them and continue the legacy of service established by OSBDR volunteers over the past five decades.

Book Description
Southern Baptists have a unique and colorful story. Birthed in the time of slavery controversy, their theology on this and human rights issues has changed as cultural and societal developments occurred. One thing that never changed, however, was their zeal for evangelism. They eventually grew to become the largest Protestant denomination in the United States. Later, a major controversy in the late twentieth century pitted conservative Baptists against moderates. Both sides, however, wrote histories of the controversy from their own perspectives. These histories were significant for understanding how each side interpreted the events. These pages attempt to fill a missing gap. Readers will hear the Southern Baptist story from both sides. Understand from this how Southern Baptists work, think, grow, argue, and have changed over time. They have weathered the ups and downs of history to reveal an ever-growing heritage.
