Feed His Sheep

Being the hands and feet of Jesus "to the least of these". This journey began when my daughter, Amanda, and I attended a women's conference in April, 2009.

Our hearts have not been the same since! Matthew 25:40 and John 21:17 became our mantra, and on September 26, 2010, our ministry began with just 14 sack lunches and a lot of prayers and faith that the Holy Spirit would direct us to the right people. Our purpose is not to feed the needy and go home saying, ‘We did our duty’. The meal we provide is the icebreaker to deeper relationships. Sharing mea

ls creates a sense of community, something we all desire. We all want to belong. We have no agenda and no corporate sponsors. Feed His Sheep is led by the Holy Spirit. What began with our family of 6 and 14 lunches in 2010 looks a little like this in 2026:
• Our core group now numbers 15, with more than 275 volunteers serving throughout the month.
• A hot meal is prepared by a different church each week of the month.
• Multiple resource stations offer drinks, snacks, clothes, socks, hygiene, period products, dog food, wipes, hand sanitizer, reading glasses, and books.
• A prayer station is available to share requests and be prayed for on the spot. Feed His Sheep is God's ministry, based on the love of Christ, to show dignity and respect to the least of these in Oklahoma City. We have been blessed beyond anything we could ever imagine over the last 15 years. We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings at 8:00 at 609 W. Sheridan, in downtown Oklahoma City. We are there, rain or shine! Be prepared for a life-changing experience. John 21:15-17
Matthew 25:35-40
Ephesians 3:20

Feed His Sheep 08 18 26...As I backed up, she smiled, lifted her hands and made a heart shape for me...I had walked up to the bench in a shady area and given her a sack lunch and ice pops. She apologized for not seeing me because she was reading. I told her it was no problem, enjoy your lunch. The graciousness and affection we encounter encourages you to do more.

“P” walked up and said,”Theres 2 more people sleeping over there.” I asked if he would take 2 lunches to them and he did. He was a fairly new Curbside Chronicle vendor. Some unexpected expenses came up and he didn’t have enough to buy more magazines to sell. His car got impounded three weeks ago and he’s figuring out how to survive living on the street with the hopes that he can sell enough magazines to help pay for housing.

I told him to get in and I would give him a ride to the Curbside office. On the way, he helped give out 3 sack lunches and took one for himself. I also helped him so he could restock on some magazines.

“Do you have any more lunches left you can spare?” asked “E.” He was still hungry and very thirsty. The gauge in my car reached 112 degrees earlier and now read 115. I had 2 left and gave him one.

At Scissortail Park, I ran into Mike and his Mike’s Hot Rod Dogs foodtruck. The food truck can be seen around town regularly. He just finished an event this morning. The best way to describe what’s the best hot dog he has...all of them! Mike used to support Feed His Sheep by serving our folks once a month. We encourage you all to visit when he’s around town at different venues and treat yourself to his hot dog creations.

Thanks to Trish and Geoff Munro, folks got a treat today as they made ice pops for me to give out. The expression of many makes me think that was the highlight of their day.

With food left from Sunday’s serving, I made hash browns with a sausage biscuit plus a protein snack, 2 bottled drinks, electrolyte packet, non refrigerated milk and cereal. Yesterday it was hash browns with egg and sausage patty.

Besides Sundays, I’ve gone out on sheep patrol 16 of the last 17 week days to give out water and snacks or food. The days begin to run together. I see regulars but many different people from day to day. Sometimes I check on someone laying down to make sure they are alive and breathing. What doesn’t seem to want to change is seeing the dash temperature gauge reading over 100 degrees.

Without much fanfare or notice I know servants with other ministries are going the extra mile to serve and keep people hydrated during this heat wave. We are so appreciative of folks who have stepped up to donate so we can keep supplied with water and drinks. I think I will be okay on drinks the rest of this month. Food donations allowed me to include a meal instead of just snacks. Our ample supply of cooling towels and sunscreen packets lets me give them out continually.

Looks like at least another 7 more days of 100 degree days in store.

We sadly share the passing of one of our precious sheep, Kenneth Taylor. He considered us family and asked us to provide a memorial service for him. You are invited to join us this Saturday, August 22, at 3:00 p.m. at Serve Midtown Church, located at 415 NW 5th Street in downtown Oklahoma City, as we remember our sweet friend. Light refreshments will be served.

08/16/2026

Feed His Sheep 08 16 26...”I want to be a better man of God”...”More grace, understanding, and wisdom”...”Patience and for daughter and mom”...for choices and decisions..Praise and gratitude..Attacks of Satan..Anger,Anxiety, Worry..Depression..Faith and God’s presence...Just some of the prayer requests received today...

Around 8 years ago, Tierra Page heard about Feed His Sheep after Integris ran commercials and promos from interviews with Robyn after cancer surgery. She tracked us down! Tierra and her friend, Liz, and there families became a regular servant team preparing meals for our folks. They have returned to prepare and serve meals again every other month.

Listening to what folks have been liking, her family & team prepared 200 biscuits, sausage gravy, or plain gravy, hash brown casserole, sausage patties, and offered to add jelly, butter, or syrup. Bananas, cuties, and assorted crackers rounded out the 175 meals served. Unserved hash brown casserole, sausage and biscuits will help me to serve a special breakfast meal tomorrow when I distribute cold drinks on Sheep Patrol.

25 people were already in a line when we arrived at 7:30. They received numbered tickets from Wendy for an assigned spot in line. 20 at a time were let in at 8:15 after the disabled were let in. Folks followed the serving line to the main tables first. Then Geoff & Trish with their "Lunch-to-Go" table offering PBJ sandwiches, cheese crackers, tootsie roll pops, and apple sauce for an additional meal to eat now or later. Jenny and Dayxle joined their station to lend a hand.

Tony & Deana Smith and our beverage volunteers,Mike and Russ, provided drinks. Over 300 cold bottled drinks were depleted from my 4 ice chests. Despite the summer heat, we still serve coffee in summer, 110 cups or more each week. If anyone knows where we can get a deal on coffee besides Sam’s club, let us know. Diana, the donut queen, had 6 pans of donuts to sweeten up the morning.

Anthony & Linda Adams displayed clothing arranged by size. Having any seasonal clothing sorted helps keep the flow of traffic orderly and brings more dignity to picking out clothes. Joby & Amber Young and new volunteer Jane, took care of the weekly needs of folks coming for dog food, wipes, or hand sanitizer. We appreciate folks who help supplement our supply by donating bags of dog food as the Youngs buy around 400 pounds a month. Will Lukos comes on third Sundays and once again thoughtfully brought a table full of popular provisions: Drawstring bags, slim jims, granola bars, Sunny D drinks, packs of body wipes, and rolls of toilet paper. Lynsey and Charley gave out books, Period.okc menstrual products, and 37 pairs of reading glasses. We average giving out 40 to 45 pairs a week and buy 8 different strengths in boxes of 50 on Amazon. And to think it started about 15 years ago when a couple of people asked if we could get reading glasses for them.

How’s life been in your apartment? One friend says he’s got an inspection coming up. But with no hot water because repairs haven’t been done, how is he supposed to wash his dishes and keep things cleaned up? I got to check on folks I know. Continuing conversations, giving advice and encouragement, holding accountable, pointing to resources, reminding that someone cares about them are just a part of who we are. I gave out a batch of tarps that were donated this past week. The rest will go out next week. Five bags, 2 duffels and a backpack were welcomed. Several who are nursing wounds updated me on how they are doing.

Brad, our gatekeeper brought help today: Candy, Russ, and Mike. Nash, Ragan, Ronan, Jaylea, Brinley, Logan, Mika , and Max (all our "grandchildren"), helped at our prayer table, praying for folks or getting prayer slips filled out. Zach and Eric from New Hope visited and did what they love to do, interact one on one with folks.

And I took care of some of our regulars. Two bags of drinks and snacks for diabetics. Some chocolate candy bars so my one friend won’t go through withdrawls. Saying no to one guy who always asks for a handout without even knowing what we have or if he needs it. Getting a big thank you from a regular when Robyn gave her a book from a series she is engrossed in.

Just as we had packed up and were getting ready to leave, one friend showed up. I help him occasionally with gas for the car he lives in. He offers to help clean up or pack up. And always, fill his need for prayer before he departs.

Feed His Sheep 08 14 26...”I’m starving! Thank you.”...and...”My first sale today!”as I bought a Curbside Chronicle from this vendor I spotted in the shadow of an office building. “It’s so hot!” exclaimed a friend waking up on a bench.”It’s so hard to get ice.” He tries to keep an insulated tumbler filled with ice to pour drinks into during the day. The library is his source of refilling on water. “Bless you!” “Thank you!” Every day, folks expressed thanks especially for the cold bottled drinks and frozen ice cups I made.

103, 103, 105, 107. Didn’t matter the temperature. It was scorching hot all week. The next ten days show 95 to 106 degrees ahead.

Thanks to timely donations of meats, I added an entree to our snack bags this week as I went on Sheep Patrol every day. Chicken Mac & Cheese, Pasta chicken, and Sausage Pasta were the hot meals. Today it was Ham and Cheese on Hawaiian or Brioche buns. Next week I plan to make more hot meals

One friend shared that he is looking into housing options in a neighboring city. He is eligible for section 8 assistance. OKC doesn’t have the right feel and fit and seems to busy to him. Going to a familiar city where he’s lived and worked is enticing him to make that move.

Another friend has a case worker looking at moving him into a different location. Too much drama and maintenance issues at his current apartment is wearing on his patience and mental stability.

Walking along the street, on benches, at bus stops, laying under trees, in the shadows of a building, under shade trees in park-like areas, under stairway overhangs, wheelchair under a shade tree sitting on a four lane street, wheelchair in the sun next to a building, pushing a cart on the sidewalk, in the shade of a garage, standing in a field. It takes looking, but they are out there everywhere. The mostly unnoticed, invisible people.

When I get home from Sheep Patrol, I can’t wait to get in the house, usually putting off unloading til evening when it cools down. Most of the people I left behind downtown, remain in the same spot as temperatures remain over 100 degrees.

A timely donation of tarps mean I will be able to help folks who recently have been asking for tarps. I also began restocking electrolyte drinks and water thanks to another donation.

Trying to vary our snacks a little bit since I go out so many days, I cut up watermelon, bagged up gummies and different cookies.

An unexpected food donation yesterday provided me the opportunity to make four deliveries to folks facing food insecurity. One had just mentioned his family was running out of food.

When I walked around giving out sack lunches one day, a friend said he could sure use prayer. So I stopped right then and prayed for him. On another day, a group of us circled for prayer. If anyone would like to join me when I go out on most weekdays, just let me know.

Today seemed almost incomplete when I was done serving. I usually go see my friend in the nursing home. I got a call late Sunday night that he passed away in his sleep. One of his wishes was to be remembered and have a life that meant something. We promised him we would have a celebration memorial service for him. He had no surviving family or relatives. Feed His Sheep was his family. We will gather with a handful of folks who were his peers who had served him and from our servant group and anyone who wants to join us. The location will be Serve Midtown Church of Christ at 415 NW 5th St, in downtown OKC, just on the north side of the Embark bus terminal on Saturday August 22 at 3 pm.

Feed His Sheep 08 09 26...Sasquatch is found!!!...Unbeknownst to folks ahead of time, Sasquatch made an appearance this morning...As dozens waited in line to get in, Sasquatch arrived and set up in the parking lot for this historic appearance...when it was all over with, around 150 people got treated to a Sasquatch Shaved Ice in addition to their meal.

A big shoutout to Curbside Enterprises. While you may have heard of the Curbside Chronicle, Curbside Flowers, or Curbside Apparel, you may not be aware of Sasquatch. Sasquatch Shaved Ice is a youth employment and job training program in Oklahoma City's Plaza District (NW 16th and Indiana / 1801 NW 16th St). It operates as part of the Curbside social enterprises family to provide work experience and financial literacy for transition-aged youth. If you live around OKC and ever visit the Paseo district and see a container on the sidewalk, it’s Sasquatch Shaved Ice.

Serve Midtown Church served up 151 breakfast casseroles, cookies, fresh fruit and drinks. By serving with us, they reach out to the poor and homeless who are a part of their downtown community. For the 4th of July , they served a sit-down holiday meal by welcoming in any hungry person to the church. Located across the street from the bus terminal, you can’t get any closer to the inner city. Their members actively serve with us regularly and contribute food and provisions.

Jeff & Trish brought sliced turkey sandwiches for lunches to go along with snacks and cuties. Diana served up an assortment of donuts. Anthony & Linda Adams gave out socks, clothes, and sunscreen packets. Alex helped our barista team with coffee. Each week we go through 110 cups of coffee in summer, so ground coffee is one of our regular needs year round. Tony and Deana provide our cold drinks and spoil folks with choices of beverages like Sunny D, milk, apple juice and more each week.

Memorial Road Church of Christ Young Adults also joined the servants today. They gave out socks, clothes, snacks, drinks. Our weather makes this a perfect time to spoil folks with so many drink options to help stay hydrated.

Wendy helped keep folks be orderly by giving out numbered tickets as they lined up. She also brought a wagon of bananas to offer to folks waiting in line. Brad was our gatekeeper, letting people in and out. Robyn helped six people with IDs and birth certificates.

Thanks to Stephen Eck and Ted Norton for serving on our prayer team today. Some of the prayer requests they took included: Praise and gratitude, housing/shelter, Addiction/Recovery, Thank you for giving so much, 3 requests for Marriage/relationship, general prayer, Forgiveness, Attacks of Satan, Job, Health/Medical.

Fourteen people got backpacks. Thanks to A donation of backpacks from Coffee Creek Church in addition to what we can find, we’ve been able to fulfill more requests each week this month. A recent donation of rolling suitcases were all given out as well as duffels and handbags. The one request I wasn’t able to fulfill was for tarps. We ran out and are not getting more requests.

When checking on people for things that concern them, medical needs is a high priority each week. Today, requests for help included: Tylenol, advill, benadryl, Bandaids, Menstrual pain, sore throat, burns, itching scrapes, wounds that are slow healing, headache, upset stomach, triple antibiotic ointment, antacid—I keep all of these stocked in my kit and it was actually less requests than normal!

Another round of 100 degree days awaits for the next week. I will probably be going out on sheep patrol with water and drinks plus snacks and maybe lunches every day for a couple of hours. Last week we served meals Sunday and Friday and I went on patrol 3 other days. Folks love it when we don’t just give bottled water but get Gatorade type drinks donated we can give along with water. We also give them electrolyte and flavor packets to add to their bottled water.

In winter, sleeping bags and blankets can literally save lives. In summer, helping someone battle dehydration can also save a life or trip to the hospital. When you go out yourself and see folks too overwhelmed by heat to have energy to do much of anything or carry on a conversation, it strikes you how valuable just providing some relief means to them. We love it when we get a chance to get into serious conversation with folks but they also understand the language of love that says I care enough to help you in your time of need.

And blessings to the man, I don’t know his name, who recently began picking up trash when we are winding down. He does this on his own, grabs a bag and walks around cleaning up the parking lot, then leaves. Humbly serves, asks for nothing in return.

Thank you all who serve with us, pray for our sheep and encourage us in service to His Majesty.

Feed His Sheep 08 07 26...A big smile...he was just thinking about where his next meal would come from when we pulled up to the side of the road and gave him a sack lunch.

An impending storm from the west created cloud cover and lowered the temperature as we served. Within minutes, wind was whipping through. Water being sprayed by a fountain blew sideways. We imagined some of our folks would be glad to get caught in a downpour instead of day after day of 100 degree days.

The unknown man finally had his blanket off as he lay sleeping on the sidewalk. But a little while later, we saw him sitting on the ground as usual, completely draped in his blanket.

Four days this week, I gave out water bottles, snacks, and food. It didn’t matter what I brought. Everything was appreciated. The gratitude and thankfulness we encounter makes you want to keep coming back. For a few brief moments, they aren’t homeless or a social, political problem. They are just real people in dire circumstances. The systems they encounter, red tape, obstacles, and attitudes would drive a sane person crazy.

Wednesday was an eye opener. I usually immediately get greeted by at least 5 or 6 people at my main stop downtown. No one got up after I parked.I carried 8 lunches around and gave them out. Enduring the extreme heat left folks sleeping, dozing off, lying down, or sitting like zombies. At other locations, I found the same as folks had a hard time getting up from their spots to get a lunch.

Cups of frozen soda was a hit, so I will make more next week. I’m a bit tired from all the prepping and running around this week. It takes around 3 to 4 hours to prep and get ready for one trip downtown. Bags are stuffed with cookies, snacks, sweets, electrolyte packs, flavor packets for water, candy, fruits, non refrigerated milk, and cereal. Today I made pasta & potatoes with sausage balls and about 5 gallons of spaghetti sauce.

Cooling towels, sunscreen, Girl Scout cookies, waterless shampoo & towels, bars of soap & a towel, electrolyte drinks all helped fill bags this week. I had so much water and bottled drinks in the garage, but it’s now whittled down to a small case left. I may be out on patrol 5 days next week.

Alex and Wendy made it a fun, rewarding day as they engaged with people and gave out the meals. Stops included Curbside Flowers and Curbside Apparel.

I made a run to deliver a surprise donation of food to some of our folks who were homeless but housed now. Despite being housed, they still all struggle with food insecurity.

Thank you to our supporters who pray for us, make donations to us or that we find on our front porch. Your thoughtfulness allows us to show our folks that God does care, and it is by His provision that we are able to serve them.

EVERYTHING AT THE MACARTHUR SECOND CHANCES THRIFT STORE IS $1 TODAY AND TOMORROW!!!

08/02/2026

Feed His Sheep 08 02 26 ... God hear our prayers... It was all he knew to do...ask others to pray...His grandchildren are in an unstable situation. With no control, he trusts in God’s mercy and grace. With decisions to make of his own, he needs help overcoming some barriers. After praying, I told him to see me tomorrow so we can help him with some of his roadblocks.

A cool morning breeze greeted me as I loaded the van this morning. What a welcome change. But it will be short-lived as another round of hundred-degree days looms.

Coffee Creek Church from Edmond brought an welcomed assortment of bottled drinks along with this week’s meal. Chef DynoMike Lucas made focaccia sandwiches, pasta salad, and sliced watermelon. In his catering cart, about 10 layers of sandwiches awaited serving.

Easily lost amid the busy morning of serving is the life lessons that get lived out by our servants. The first Sunday of each month, Coffee Creek Church teams get an opportunity to practice what they believe...Learn the way of Jesus. Love the way of Jesus...Love God and Do Good. We create the environment where their servant hearts can encounter the hearts of those in need. By feeding, by quenching thirst, by praying with them, by welcoming them with love. When worlds collide, walls can come tumbling down. Folks who are alienated can feel worthy to be a part of a community. And hearts can be encouraged or encounter hope for the hopeless.

Provisions brought by our servers can vary week to week or be a mainstay people can count on. I give out 6 to 12 backpacks each week. Coffee Creek got backpacks donated and I gave out a dozen today. Our servants gave out 42 pairs of reading glasses, first aid supplies and diabetic snack bags were given out. Others brought dog food, wipes, hand sanitizer, clothing, socks, hats, canned goods, toilet paper, and Period.OKC menstrual products.

Some updates from folks I talked to: I’m still on the waiting list for housing...I just got my documents in order and can start applying for a job... A half dozen were dealing with allergies, one got ointment to put on bad leg wounds, one got lotion to help with poison ivy rash, one diabetic thanked me not just for sugar free snacks but for snacks to help between meals when blood sugar levels get too low. There’s always demand for advil or tyelenol.

Staci and pastor Clark Frailey from Coffee Creek helped at the prayer table. One man came by and commented how delighted and surprised he was that we had a prayer station set up.

Heat exposure in the coming weeks will be intense with hundred-degree days or high nineties daily. Please pray for our folks. The reality for many that is not understood by the public is that they can be tied to a limited radius of where they hang out. Concern for safety, a place to sleep or camp out, access to water and restrooms, food or meals, buses and services have to be considered. In this heat, if you have to haul all your gear everywhere, that can be a lot of weight. If you leave your gear unattended, there’s a good chance someone will steal something. One friend had his cards stolen from his wallet when he was asleep this week. Any meal may mean a couple of miles of walking.

The situation can be complex. What isn’t complex is the need for folks to have a sense of dignity and belonging. Many did not choose to be outcasts or be labeled by the mistakes of their past. We serve a god who offers forgiveness and salvation from this world and welcomes with open arms. These sheep are all a part of His creation. How should the eyes of our hearts see them?
