What We'll Be Doing

Home visits & blanket distribution to orphans, the sick and the elderly

Our Friends in South Africa
John and Mary Finkbeiner's son, Randy, has been a Road Works missionary in KwaMhlanga, South Africa for the last eight years. He and his team will be working with Oasis' team via email this winter and spring to prepare for our visit and for VBS.
Want a Piece of the Action?
We can't do this without you. We need to raise a total of $2,500 for VBS and blankets, above and beyond what team members are raising on their own for travel.

SPONSOR A CHILD FOR VBS - $35/child
Three days of crazy fun and teaching kids that Jesus loves them. In this land oppressed by witchcraft and hopelessness, we believe God will use these three days in a big, big way in the lives of the kids and their families.

Key Bible Point Day 1: God made you. Day 2: God listens to you.
Day 3: God watches over you. Day 4: To the zoo!

GIVE TO THE BLANKET FUND - $10/blanket
June and July are the dead of winter in South Africa.
Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable to the
subfreezing night time temperatures. The team wants to buy 25 blankets once we land in South Africa to hand out when we visit with people in their homes.
