Dollars for Missions - This Sunday, Foster Feet
 

Lauren Anderson, was a high school student at OBA and after working with foster children saw that many did not have appropriate shoes. As they grew older, they were continually needing reliable footwear and Anderson felt a need to help these children, so Foster Feet was born. Working with DHS case workers and others in the community, Foster Feet began distributing new shoes to children in need in our area. Foster Feet distributes shoes and socks through Enid and Chisholm Public Schools,  and other schools, churches and communities across the state and  through various community partners such as CDSA, Sooner Success and others.


Foster Feet began in 2015. Central Christian Church has provided building space, monetary support, and volunteers for Foster Feet since 2017. Over  600 pairs of shoes were distributed each year in 2020, 2021 and 2022. In 2023 Foster Feet distributed 1,010 pairs of shoes.

Michael and Reagan Brockey were married in Central Christian Church. 

A Thank You Letter From Michael Brockey, A VAFB Student Pilot,
Central Christian Church Made a Difference!

Michael Brockey came to Vance in 2019 as a student pilot, a second lieutenant and a member of Class 2104. He began volunteering at the Enid Welcome Table. The life of a student pilot is filled with physical and mental stress. Volunteering at Welcome Table helped reduce his stress in many ways!

Michael returned to VAFB as an instructor pilot. After he became engaged to his college sweetheart, he brought her to Central to meet his “adopted grandmothers” who looked after him at the Welcome Table. After this, he and Reagan married at Central and his friends from Welcome Table provided a reception.

Upon returning to VAFB, Brockey oversaw the programs to welcome student pilots and their families to Vance. He said that CCC not only took part in this program, but set an example for other groups and companies that participated. He shared, “Thank you, for your support since 2019. We are moving to Abilene, TX. with a baby due in November. There, I will be flying B1 bombers in the defense of our country. You made a difference in my life!”

On the next stops of my Air Force journey, “Reagan and I will be looking for a church similar to Central Christian Church and hope to become involved in similar outreach programs and missions.”

God bless you all. Captain Michael Brockey, June 14, 2014
