new Oasis staff members

Hello, we wanted to introduce ourselves, as we are the newest members of the Oasis team. Our names are Jeremy and Stephanie. We moved to Austria in December. We first heard about the Oasis when we visited it on our honeymoon, a little over three years ago. Since then, we have been praying about returning full time. God has opened the doors, and it is amazing to finally be here. Right now we are in language school studying German, but we will be joining the work at the Oasis full time in April.

We wanted to share one story with you about the connections that are being made with refugees. A few weeks ago, Julie and I met 2 Iranian men who badly needed warmer clothing. As we talked with them and got them some clothes, Julie mentioned the name of Jesus in their language. They got all excited and started repeating Jesus' name over and over. Then, one began removing his shirt. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect. But he was trying to show us this beautiful tattoo of his Savior across his back. They are Christians. We were able to give them a full Bible in their language. Please pray that the Word encourages their faith. Pray for their protection in the camp, and pray that they will come back to be with other believers at the Oasis.

~Stephanie and Jeremy
