Steve Damlo
*Husband to Suzanne (Sue)
*Father to Stephani, Shawn and Sara
*Grandfather to 6 amazing grandchildren; Taelor, Maddie, Madison, Mathew, Cate and Clair
*Originally from NW Minnesota
I came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ at the age of 17 just a few weeks before entering the Navy. I attended college at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College after spending 8 years in the Navy’s Submarine force. While attending college I sought God’s will for my life and while I did not sense God leading me to full time Christian service, He did prepare me for a variety of activities in the local church. I believe God gave me a diverse career in business to prepare me to serve Him as Church Business Administrator at Village Baptist OKC. I believe through a variety of circumstances He planted me here and I have never enjoyed a job more. Sue and I have had a wonderful life together since 1972. We have three adult children and 6 amazing grandchildren. I want to pray with the boldness and sensitivity of Nehemiah and I do believe I live my life as God instructed us in Philippians 4:6-7.
Life Verse: “Don’t worry about anything ….present your requests to God…and the peace of God… will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7
