Nations
Oasis is directly involved in efforts to spread the gospel to all nations. It is our mandate as Christians to go into all the earth and preach the gospel (Mark 16:15) and below are a few of the examples of how we believe that should look.

Kinshasa DRC, 2008The population of Kinshasa is over seven million people. It has very long avenues that go for miles and miles with thousands and thousands of people walking and going about their daily activities. There are countless shops and roadside vendors. And, the traffic is very heavy and congested. I have coined it the “African Los Angeles”. You drive for miles down one street and see thousands and thousands of people and then turn onto another street and it is the same. It is a very large city. I understand that Lagos, Johannesburg and Cairo are even larger. Perhaps, one day I will visit them as well. Read More...

UGANDA / KENYA – November, 2007It was with much excitement and anticipation that we returned to Uganda. We ministered extensively there in 2005. We arrived in the morning and were met at the Entebbe airport by Pastor David Byangu of Seeta. It was a cloudy day and for that we were glad, especially after the long plane trip.  As we drove through Kampala, I couldn’t help but notice the hustle and bustle of activity and the new buildings and shops compared to what I remember from 2005. It is impressive to see what is going on there.  Read More...

BURUNDI / CONGO – 2007During this trip, I must say that for the first time, I experienced a sharp cultural contrast in Africa.  The culture of Burundi is different than that of other places I have visited in Africa. Also, I learned that, in Burundi, the English language gives way to Kirundi and French. From Bujumbura, we traveled to Bukavu, Congo.  The Africans refer to The Democratic Republic of the Congo as simply “the Congo”.  Upon entering the city of Bukavu you cannot help but notice the many United Nations vehicles traveling on the streets.

Kenya (Nairobi/Mombasa), Africa 2007 As promised, I returned to Kenya with a larger team than I brought on my previous two trips.  On this trip, I was accompanied by Randy Adolfo, Jeremiah Cullett, Rob Goodwin and my brother-in-law Pastor Kedar Hunt.  The number of us going to Africa has steadily increased with each trip. We were greeted at Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi by many members of the GILGOM crusade team as well as Apostle Hudson Isabwa of Vihiga.  It was good to see Pastor Jeremiah Bismark Odour, Pastor Tom Otieno Abungu and many others of the team.  We were warmly greeted and this was especially appreciated after two very long airplane flights.

Kenya / Uganda, Africa 2005 Our return to Africa proved to be every bit as fulfilling as our first trip. It was so exciting to set foot in Africa again! There is something about Africa that is hard to communicate in words. Whether it’s the beauty of the sunsets over Lake Victoria, or the sounds of the many birds at sunrise in Urimba, a fisherman singing while fishing late at night on Lake Victoria, or the mighty rushing current of the Nile River at Jinja, or catching a taxi in Kampala, or having a cup of coffee in downtown Nairobi, it’s simply too big and too diverse to describe with words. Africa is something you have to feel and live in order to truly understand. You have to be there. Read More...
Cambodia 2004 I had one solid week to spend in Cambodia and as it turned out, we packed the days full of activities. My goal in going there was to work with the musicians in a worship setting and perhaps exchange some songs as well as advise them on technical aspects of church music. But I didn’t realize that God had other things planned as well. I was pleasantly surprised, while attending a morning prayer meeting, to see these young Cambodian men and women so excited to pray. Many of them traveled miles on bumpy, dusty roads, just to meet and pray as a group. Their dedication and passion for touching God’s heart is second to none. Read More...

Kenya, Africa 2003 It is one thing to think about preaching overseas and preaching in a different culture; however, it is entirely another thing to actually do it. Words fail me to describe the experience. Here you are, thousands of miles away in a different land and different culture, yet there is a common bond between you and those you are ministering to. Suffice to say, the depth and strength of your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, is going to be measured and measured quickly. Read More...
