 | Pete and Cheryl Hall
A quiet couple, both Pete and Cheryl have contributed significantly in helping OKC to become an accepting and loving place. Cheryl is extremely committed to the music ministry of OKC First, through her participation in the choir, and presenting special music in song with her lovely alto voice. Both are involved in their small group and find that to be the place where they can grow closer to Christ in relationships that provide confession, accountability and shared excitement as each person grows in their faith. They love their small group!
Pete is a faithful attender and finds avenues by which he, along with Cheryl, can reach out to those who are marginalized in this society. They work tirelessly in their efforts to reach out and lovingly disciple those afflicted with HIV virus and are doing everything in their power to show the love of Jesus Christ in practical ways to this group of people. Often, they have followed this call even when it meant possible (and probable) embarrassment!
When asked, their son Joe commented, “my best memory of my parents at OKC First is when Oliver became a part of the family. Amy and I were already in Kansas City at that time, but we watched as God began to change each of them and gave them the courage to love someone like Oliver, in spite of what others might have thought about them.”
Pete and Cheryl have learned to model Christian living, especially in the midst of crisis, as evidenced when Pete broke his back in an accident four years ago. In the midst of living Christian lives, they have helped this church become a place where anyone can come to be confronted by the love of the Savior.
