Our Programs...Impacting Lives
"The
Oasis" Impact - offers missionaries, humanitarian aid workers, missionary care givers, and pastors of sending churches a quiet place for spiritual and physical refreshment as well as personal mentoring and processing where needed and desired. We have identified those areas of missionary care which we believe can be given at the Oasis. They are listed below. Descriptions of each are located under the “OASIS/Gaining Altitude to Go Back” page.
Our Process - A missionary (recommended to be done with their supervisor, team leader, or pastor) should discern the specific area from those listed below that they want addressed while at the Oasis. Upon arrival, a “game-plan” is determined between the missionary(s) and hosts which is carried out during the visit.
