"MOJ was able to help a family who had struggled to get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid for over a year.  This family came to MOJ in desperate need of health care and within 45 minutes God provided them with very good health insurance through insure Oklahoma and a monthly premium of less than $60 a month!  Through God's provision in their lives, this family was able to sense God's love for them and recognize how much He cares for their every need."
Contact Social Services:
"In the midst of trying to obtain government assistance for food stamps, phone service and employment for a young woman, it was discovered that although she wanted to work, she could not hold a job because of her low cognitive and verbal skills.  Sadly, she would not qualify for assistance because the only way for her to get food stamps was to work 20 hours a week.  Her Primary Care Physician at MOJ wrote a letter expaling her cognitive and physical limitations and why she was aunable to hold a job.  Three months later, she was able to begin receiving food stamps and phone services which was a huge blessing."
