So, one month has passed since The Oasis started and I have
to say I am completely happy with the direction that it is going. We have met a
few times now and our “nucleus” is healthy and the vision is taking more shape
as we go. We are still praying about who else should be in at the ground level
and what our first community outreach effort will be at this point. I will be
reaching out to people in the next few days to see who is interested in being a
part of what God wants to do in and through this ministry. We have been meeting
and having prayer and worship together and God is speaking about what he wants
for us and from us to serve the people of our city and the surrounding
communities. As I am writing this I am reminded of all those times that I struggled
to figure out why I never felt like I was doing enough or I never felt like God
could use me. And now I see clearly what God wants me to do and the concern is
more on how to execute the plans that He is giving me and less on how I can be
used in those plans. I am still struggling with confidence when I lead worship
but God is working on that with me and I am growing. I have to admit that I am
starting to enjoy leading and each time I gain confidence and new songs are
starting to flow. Well, I have gone on long enough. I hope to do more regular
updates and keep people in the loop much more frequently. If you are one of our
prayer warriors you can be praying for some of these things:
Equipment:
(someone has already donated some single effects pedals and an ADA MP1!)
Some kind of small PA (Mics, cables, monitors etc.)
Electric Guitar
Power Amp
Multi Effects Pedal
Facility:
We would like to have a regular meeting place and ultimately
own a building (Message me if you want to hear more about this)
Intercessors:
We need the backing of our prayer warriors! Without prayer
and Holy Spirit WE will fail every time.
Musicians:
We need some. Right now we have some singers, a drummer, and
me. We are looking for all kinds and would love to have multiple teams at some
point, so if this is you, message me!
Wisdom:
Perseverance:
Whatever Holy Spirit
Gives you to pray for us:
