We Need Your Help December 19-22!

Please pray for the Oasis next week! We have been overwhelmed by the numbers of young men from Afghanistan and North Africa coming to the Oasis:
  • We don't know how (or if) we should give out mens Christmas gifts as planned after our Wednesday night evangelistic program (Dec. 21). We need wisdom!
  • We are having a problem whenever it's time to open the doors for any program where refugee men are welcome. The crowd is big. Their pushing is hard to manage. Some things in the Oasis have been damaged in the last week. Pray for wisdom and protection, especially on Wednesday night (evangelistic program) and Thursday night (coffee house) (Dec. 21-22).
  • At the same time, we are seeing those who are truly seeking to learn about Jesus. Pray for them! Thank God for our partnerships with Farsi and Arabic speaking believers, who are coming and helping us.
  • Please also pray for the refugee women and kids. We have a clothing distribution for them on Monday afternoon (Dec. 19) and a Christmas family open house on Tuesday afternoon (Dec. 20). Their numbers are much fewer and the events should be quite peaceful. Do pray that the women and kids come out for these events and that their hearts are touched with the truth of the Christmas message.

The Oasis team should know that they are being prayed for regarding the circumstances described in the most recent blog. May God bless, protect and keep you as you all serve Him there.
