For more than 30 years, Scott Wilson grew Oaks Church into a thriving local ministry with a high global impact. Under his leadership, the Oaks has served thousands of families in the South Dallas area and has raised up and sent out hundreds of successful leaders, both nationally and internationally.

Scott has written many books and is a sought-after speaker on personal, spiritual, and organizational growth and leadership. He founded 415 Leaders, a ministry with a vision that every pastor should have spiritual parents. He also founded Ready Set Grow, a ministry to help churches break through their growth barriers.

Dr. Allen Tennison served in pastoral ministry for over 15 years in Kentucky, Missouri, and California. He worked in higher education for over 20 years as both a professor and dean in California and Minnesota. He is currently serving as a theological advisor to the national leadership of the Assemblies of God in Springfield, MO. Dr. Tennison and his wife Rhonda have been married for 14 years and have one nine-year-old son, Steele.

Those who hear Martha Tennison for the first time are often surprised when she begins to speak. Tennison will be 81 years old in April, and her 5-ft., 2-in. frame doesn’t prepare one for her powerful preaching and lively and humorous delivery style. She captivates a room, and her profound faith and depth of connection to Jesus keep people riveted.

Martha Tennison has had powerful experiences that have brought her to her knees in prayer. In 1988, the Tennisons’ church youth group from Radcliff, Kentucky, was in a head-on crash with a drunk driver. The force of the crash punctured the gas tank, and the bus erupted in flames, causing the death of 24 youths and three adult leaders. Allen Tennison was at the back of the bus and among those who survived the crash, which remains the worst alcohol-related crash in U.S. history.

Martha’s preaching includes stories of how God sustained their Kentucky congregation in the darkest of days. Reflecting on that experience, Tennison said, “We are not saved from trouble but saved from sin. When trouble comes, God never leaves us. As thy day so shall they strength be.”
