John Youell Sr. has pastored for 47 years and is Executive Pastor at New Life Church OKC.

This group of prophetic intercessors also prays for business owners, government leaders and other leaders appealing to heaven for the Kingdom of God to be manifested in the OKC metro area.

John also meets monthly with a group of City Elders to pray and strategize on how the various parts of the Body of Christ can work together to further the advancement of God’s Kingdom to bring about individual and societal change for the Glory of God.

He has written a number of gospel songs as well as authored The Closet Dwellers - What Happens When People Pray, an inspirational revelation of what takes place in the spirit realm when we humble our heart and cry out to God in prayer for our life and the lives of others.
