Oasis Global Outreach (GO!) Team Ready

Jambo! Our first short-term missions team from Oasis Community is preparing for a trip to Kenya, June 16-30. We'll partner with Tumaini International Ministries, an organization built around AIDS orphan sponsorship, and founded by Stanley and Rose Mutunga.

The team of eight will land in Nairobi next Wednesday evening (the 17th), spend the night, then head out the next morning to Machakos and Masii, where Tumaini centers its base of operation. We'll get to know the local team, meet many of the children (some of whom our team members sponsor) and interact with the churches in these two towns. Following that first weekend, we'll return to Nairobi (2-3 hours) and take a short flight to the coastal city of Mombasa. Here we'll meet a team of two couples working to open ministries in two impoverished areas outside the city. We'll spend four days there visiting these new works, getting to know the people and meeting more children sponsored by Oasis. From there we'll return to Machakos and Masii for one more weekend of ministry opportunities.

Please keep our team in your prayers as we prepare, travel, and become connected with the Kenyan people and culture. Pray that we'll see what God has planned for us, that we'll learn lessons that will impact us for life, and (most importantly) that we'll be used to share the good news of life in Jesus to those with whom we have contact. Your prayers are critical as we go, providing you a place of partnership alongside us as we serve. Thank you.

And check back here as we'll try to update our adventure as often as we have connectivity!
