Owasso Church Helps People Fill Up Cars For Lower Prices

Pastor Michael Nall and 100 student volunteers from the Friendship Baptist Church were pumping gas and helping drivers by driving down the costs by 75-cents per gallon.

“Just to make it more affordable and to be an encouragement to the community,” Nall said.

Gas was priced at $3.95 at the gas station earlier in the day. But thanks to the church, people got to fill up for just $3.20 per gallon.

“We know people are feeling the burden of rising prices throughout our nation. 75-cents may not seem like much, but for some people, that’s a lot,” Nall said.

Students, like Harry Henslick, did more than just fill up the tanks. They asked drivers if they could pray for them.

Henslick said he's excited to share his love for God with others.

“I’m hoping I see someone I know, because I feel like that would make this experience, it’s already a good time, but it would make this experience really stinking fun,” Henslick said.

Michelle Rawlings is a healthcare worker on her way from home from work. She didn’t realize how much she needed gas until she noticed the students advertising the buy down at a nearby intersection.

“It was very unexpected. Like one of the girls told me, ‘nothing happens by accident,’ and I believe that,” Rawlings said.
