Oasis International Ministries
Description
Oasis is here to love and care for those seeking refuge from a war torn country with the heart of Jesus Oasis is helping refugees from war-torn countries that have relocated to St. Louis, Missouri. Many have lost family and friends as a result of war or disease. They come with fears, grief and broken hearts. When they escape the terror of the war they are sent to a refugee camp, sometimes without electricity, water, decent shelter, or education. Most refugees have lived in the camps for as many as 15 years (usually in a country other than their home country). When they arrive in St. Louis the U.S. Government provides three month's rent and utilities. During this time they must find a job, set up transportation, and learn English in addition to learning the customs and laws of a completely new country.
We want to help these families get started in practical ways with furniture, clothes, and classes to help them with English and to learn skills to gain employment; most importantly to simply be their friend. We want to welcome them to St. Louis and the United States
