    You Were Made for Life


    Life, as God designed it for you, is too valuable for you to miss. There is too much for you to be, to have, to enjoy, to do. To resign or to surrender hope is to sin, to deteriorate, to die.

    You are Made for Life!

    That is why this message is in front of you right now.God created you for greatness, for success, for health, for happiness and for fulfillment.

    Look beyond any facade or mask, and look deep within your heart where you yearn for God's lifestyle. Is is there, deep within you.

    So welcome the voice of love that does not attack and condemn you , but that honestly gives you hope by reminding you that God is there, loving, caring.

    -Dr. T.L. Osborn

    Basics For Believers


    Now, we are the Church-we are Christ's body. I am the Church-I am Christ's body. We are His expression in our community today. Christ ministers through people today the same as He ministered through a human person (His Son, born of a virgin) over two thousand years ago. Today His body is the Church. The Church is you and it is me. We are His temple, His channel of expression now. Today we are His associates, His friends, His partners, His interpreters, His communicators, His transmitters, His representatives. For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. -Eph 5:30. So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and members in particular. -1 Cor 12:27 The mystery of the Christian faith is -Christ in YOU -Col. 1:27

    In Memory

    Daneesa Carol O'Dell was the third of four children born to LaDonna Carol and Jerry Ray O’Dell in Tulsa, OK on March 22, 1967. An intelligent, athletic and witty student, she attended school in Tulsa and graduated from Jenks High School in 1985.

    Daneesa gave her life to the Lord at age eight at Tulsa Christian Fellowship. A charter member of International Gospel Center, she began working part-time in the ministry at the age of 14, when she first joined the Osborn International Ministries staff, the missionary organization founded by her grandparents, Drs. TL & Daisy Osborn.

    On May 9, 1985 she married Curtis Dolan, and to this union was born three sons, Stephen, Philip and Davey. Together, the family served in ministry in various places, including India, ultimately becoming part of the Berryhill community in Tulsa. Daneesa was a caring mother and was totally involved in the lives of her sons, including their remarkable sports activities. Berryhill referees were always on their best behavior when around her!

    Daneesa resumed employment at Osborn Ministries International in 1999 and served as Personal Assistant to the CEO (her mother, Dr. LaDonna Osborn). Her dedication and efficiency were always accompanied by a servant’s attitude.

    This extraordinary woman transcended this life to be with her Lord on September 9, 2009. She is survived by three sons, Stephen Curtis Dolan, Philip Michael Dolan, Davey Benjamin Dolan, (Berryhill), one sister, LaVona Marie Thomas (Sand Springs), two brothers, Tommy Ray O’Dell (Tulsa) and Donald Mark O’Dell (Buford, Georgia), her mother, LaDonna Carol Osborn and her father, Jerry Ray O’Dell (both of Tulsa), her grandfather, T.L. Osborn (Tulsa), four nieces and fourteen nephews, a host of beloved family members and the many friends and colleagues who will greatly miss her indomitable spirit, her bright smile and her ability to turn obstacles into stepping stones. A woman of God, loved and honored by her family, admired by her co-laborers, now rejoicing with her Savior, now awaiting the promised reunion with her family and friends.

    Funeral will be Tuesday @ 10 am at International Gospel Center, 555 S. Memorial Dr, Tulsa. Viewing Monday 5-7 pm @ Ninde Funeral Home, Woodland Acres.


    For over 60 years the Osborn family has lived by faith – bringing Jesus’ love and hope to millions of people worldwide. Since the unexpected passing of this vibrant young woman of God has left them unprepared to deal with her burial expenses, the family requests that a financial donation be made in lieu of flowers.

    Checks can be made payable to International Gospel Center, P.O. Box 700361 Tulsa, OK 74170 (Memo: Danessa O’Dell Memorial Fund).

    MISSION: Jamaica


    Dear Bishop,
    It was such a blessing to have heard you tonight and to have had the privilege of meeting you afterwords. What struck me was the very simple but profound way in which you communicated the Word of God to us. Hearing you preach tonight made me feel that myself and other preachers have really complicated the message. I have been hearing about your ministry for over a year and I think in God's all wise providence those seeds will germinate. I am very much interested in talking to you further about how we can work together in the future. I plan to be at the morning session for a short while and then travel over to the country later but I am planning to bring a number of people from my church with me on Sunday. God's richest blessing on your ministry.
