To Our Transformation Church Family, 2018 was amazing! We have had the privilege of holding lead servants roles as your Lead Pastors for four years and God has completely blown our minds! In 2018, He gave us the word “Stride” and with that we began to become very intentional with the pace in which we moved in as a church. In doing so, we set a goal of obtaining just 100 new partners for the entire year of 2018. By February, we had completely surpassed our goal. God changed our pace and recalculated our growth far beyond what we could’ve imagined. Together, we made intentional efforts to implement WINvitation as a part of our culture and invited people to church so that they too could experience transformation. When we added our natural to God’s super, the supernatural occurred in our Church. Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. With your faithfulness, God began to take a small church in the middle of North Tulsa and gave us the opportunity to spread the word of God all over the world. We went from two services averaging about 700 people per weekend experience, to over 2,500 people in five services along with about ten thousand people tuning in online (who we affectionately call “Transformation Nation”) every week and that is all because of the obedience of partners like you! We really are representing God to the lost and found for Transformation in Christ. TC Family we just want to say thank you! Thank you for allowing us to lead you, thank you for joining with the vision of Transformation Church and most of all thank you for listening to the voice of God in your lives. We love you and are so honored to serve you, Pastors Michael & Natalie Todd

Over the years, we have heard numerous stories from adults about their salvation experience, and it normally starts off with an experience they had at church as a child. This next statement probably won’t surprise you. When they go into detail regarding what happened after that childhood experience, the stories certainly differ.

O

ne of the major responsibilities God has given to the church is to train up the next generation. Great leadership is not about

how many people you can gather under you. It is about how you identify, empower, equip and deploy others around you. We see in the bible how Paul created a culture that inspired and instructed others saying, “follow me as I follow Christ!� Jesus, our ultimate example, demonstrated, taught and empowered His disciples to carry on the work of the ministry. Here at TC, we believe one of the things God has called us to do is to develop the next generation of leaders. F O R M A T I O N is not just a place for young adults to gather, hear inspiring talks and then walk away. Formation is a place where young leaders are being cultivated to become who God has designed them to be. We want to create an environment where the inexperienced and experienced can exercise their

gifts, sharpen

their talents and receive feedback and coaching to prepare for the work of the ministry. Our desire is for every intern to fulfill the call of God on their lives in such a way that it REPRESENTS GOD and TRANSFORMS culture wherever God leads them next on their journey. Great leaders are not just born. They are formed, and we know God is going to use Formation to do just that! For more information for the next enrollment period email intern@transformchurch.us.

I recently heard a story of a young man who had a bad church experience and vowed that he would not step foot into a church again. He lived in the Tulsa area and heard about TC and became a part of Transformation Nation. After 16 months of attending online, God began to transform his heart and he now attends our church in person! This is just one of many stories that we hear week 16

“we want our online community to feel loved, cared for and connected to what’s happening here.”


My name is Brandon and I reside in the northwest section of Philadelphia. I grew up in the church until the age of 17, right before I became a father to my oldest daughter. I became a Muslim too soon to realize it was only to become accepted by my peers and to please them as well. From the age of 17, I carried anger, self hate, and lust towards others that my Islamic leaders taught was ok as long as they were non-believers. We cursed, hit, and almost killed some because in our eyes Allah was not mad because they were Christians. My mother, who is now an evangelist, asked me one day about my old gospel raps I wrote, and even emailed me some to get it to my soul. She must have known I was not feeling the whole Islam thing anymore and only did it because of my friends. I had been teased for being a gospel rapper. I’ve been teased all my life, and now I think I became a Muslim to make me feel more accepted. I came back to Christ since I found you guys and I can not think of how many times I cried watching sermons. I don’t rap “gangsta” anymore and even feel called to become a minister. I can’t shut up about Christ! Love y’all and thank y’all for everything!

Brandon H.

I am writing this from the United Kingdom to tell you that your wonderful ministry through Pastor Mike has reached me and has made such a huge difference. I have struggled with singleness for several years, and was feeling broken and unloveable. But through God’s word in the sermons of Pastor Mike, God has now revealed to me that he is working in me in this season, and that he wants to help me love Him more and love myself. I used to always pray that he would send me a partner. Now with joy and expectancy, I can pray that God would reveal more of Himself to me, and more of who I am and my purpose in Him. I feel freed, and full of new peace and hope!

My name is Brad and I'm from Northeast Indiana. God put your church on my radar via YouTube a while back and Pastor Michael Todd really opened my eyes with his “Single but not alone” sermon! I have been in a season I had been questioning for a while, due to being single and trying to work through some things. This sermon was confirmation for me that I am on the right path. I had also felt led to start a small group prior to discovering your church, and then felt more and more led through the “Inner Circle” series. I have started a small group based on your sermons. This has been a life changing experience for myself and the group! We have grown greatly, individually and as a group, become closer to God, and learned more of how Jesus wants us to live. Our meetings usually last 3-4 hours, but it goes fast with the great messages and great conversations that follow. We are trying to plan a trip to come to the church and attend a service in person. Pastor Michael Todd blows us away on video, I can't wait to watch him teach in person! Thanks for preaching and teaching the truth in a way that is easy to understand and relate to. You are definitely anointed and are making the most of your calling! You are truly a blessing!

Amy H.

Thank you and love you all!

Despite having the best example ever, we still struggle with giving. God gave his only Son, Jesus, who gave His life so that we would have eternal life (John 3:16). God loved us so He gave. Now that is generosity.

At Transformation Church, we are so serious about generosity that we decided to make it a part of the very DNA of our culture. Generosity is one of the 12 codes that we want to embody in our culture. We want our hearts to be a reflection of God’s heart which is to give just to give and not to get. Yes, contrary to the world’s system, but a principle in God’s kingdom. When He gave His son, He had no idea if we would reciprocate His love by giving our lives to Him. He gave anyway, just for a maybe from us. For some of us, we are hard

FOUNDING PASTOR BISHOP GARY MCINTOSH Bishop Gary and Pastor Debbie McIntosh are the founding pastors of Greenwood Christian Center, now Transformation Church. The church originally launched in 1999 with a simple phrase from God, “Reverse the curse.” Over the years, God has done just that in the lives of the church’s congregation, as they have made an impact in their community and the kingdom of God.
