TULSA, Okla. â Coach Keith Reed, who some call the father to the fatherless, wants to take an empty, old community center and rebuild it into a place of potential to spread love and squash hate.
Whether it s after school or a hot summer day, kids are jammed into the Reed Foundation Center in north Tulsa. I ve been coming up here nine years now. Since I was two, it s been really fun up here, said Sherard Boyd, a 5th-grader.
There are healthy snacks to fuel up on, playtime outdoors, and above all, guidance.

Baylor University, one of the world s largest Baptist universities, has opened the door to possibly providing official campus recognition to an LGBT student group but maintains that its stance on marriage and sexual ethics continues to be unchanged.
Last week, the Waco, Texas-based school s board of regents approved a resolution that greenlights a path forward for recognizing a group of LGBT-identifying students.
The board of regents charged President Linda A. Livingstone and the university administration to determine the appropriate pathways to provide additional care, connections, and community for Baylor’s LGBTQ students, including the possibility of establishing a new, chartered student group that is consistent with Baylor’s core commitments .
James Stockstill announces the release of his debut EP,
“James,” with Bethany Music. The EP follows the release of his debut single, “How You Love,” which is one of the three songs featured on the EP, also including two new releases, “Just Need You” and “With My God.”
James Stockstill’s musical journey began at the age of five, learning to play the piano and continuing to train classically until he was 16 years old. At that time, he began serving with the Bethany Church worship team as well as “Deluge” (an internationally recognized Christian band led by his brother, Jonathan Stockstill) and quickly developed a passion for singing, leading worship and songwriting. He went on to study at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma where he served with the ORU LIVE student touring team.

TULSA, Oklahoma -
The COVID-19 crisis in India is impacting people in Green Country. Between the president s travel ban for those coming from India and the current outbreak in that country, it is devastating for many.
Tulsa is home to a nonprofit that helps thousands of people in India. There are also international students here from India who cannot visit their families for a while.
As the coronavirus crisis in India becomes a global emergency, people around the world are also dealing with the devastation. I never thought India would reach this far, so I m very sad for it,” said Judith Jimmy, an international student at Oral Roberts University.
