Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Randy DeWitt


It has been a long and winding road to whereI am today. Married in 1971, it lasted 10 years and gave me two wonderful daughters. Along the way I have been a pastor, youth pastor, business owner, and finally, God brought all of my life experiences together to fulfill what has been my calling. I may have graduated in 1970 from AHS but I finally finished my education in May of 2004 from Northwestern Oklahoma State University with a Masters in Counseling Psychology.
My wife is a native of Enid, Oklahoma where we have lived for 30 years. We have the two daughters and two sons-in-law with 4 grandchildren, the last finally brought a boy into the family. One daughter lives here in Enid and the youngest, married to one of America's finest, is in Italy on Air Force deployment. We were privileged to visit them this past summer. Deb and I have been married for 28 years and now that the girls are married, we are raising three dogs and 2 cats or as the sign on the mantle says, "three spoiled dogs". Debbie is a bookkeeper for a local communications company and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor candidate. We love snow skiing, traveling and working in our church, Enid First Assembly of God, enidfirstassembly.com. Hope to see as many of you as possible, most for the first time in 40 years, in September. See you in September.....wasn't that a song?lol


I am living in my second marriage, got it right this time! 29 years. I have been a pastor, a youth pastor owned my own business, worked for Lowe's and finally went back to college. I have completed my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I am employed by Youth and Family Services of North Central Oklahoma based in Enid,Ok. I am the adult Bible teacher at Enid First Assembly of God where we have attended for the past 20 plus years. I am thankful that I have the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior, he is my shelter, my deliverer, my healer, my provider, the source of all I need all I want all I am and all I ever will be. Without him I am nothing can do nothing but with him I can do all things.

Since my original profile there have been some changes. I have become a great grandpa! Yea! Now, there are 5 grands and one great grand. I have both my daughters finally living on the same continent even the same state- Texas! I joking say that I�m not old because it took me so long to grow up. That is why I haven�t retired. It took me so long to get to my career that I�m still have a lot to give- I�m not done serving yet. As of March 2022 I am entering my 21 year as a drug and alcohol counselor and my 17 as a licensed professional. This past month I accepted the position of Program Director for a (currently) 70 bed men�s residential treatment facility for drug and alcohol dependence.
Life is very full serving Jesus and having a great wife, Debbie, and my daughters and families. We have attended First Assembly of God here in Enid for the pst 35+ years. Deb is the Girls Impact Director and I teach the �Old� folks Bible class. One one my favorite ways tell friends bye is to say �if I don�t see you before, I�ll catch you on the way up�. Keep looking up, Jesus is coming soon! See you in September!
