Ready? Set? Go!
How do we know when to begin accepting clients?  We've been waiting until a certain amount of money is raised, or a major grant has been obtained, or a dwelling has been rented, or, or, or....   Every "excuse" is a good and reasonable one. 

Yet clients keep knocking on our door needing a home, wanting a new start, seeking a hand up not hand out.  We could turn them all away.  Or maybe we can take a step in faith.  That's where we are today.  Ready to step out in faith.  Set to accept a client. Go!

If we have enough donations and pledges by May 1st, we're going to give one of those young women wanting to make a new start her opportunity. Consider making a donation right now.  We're setting up a paypal account for your convenience.  Make a difference.  Tell your friends.  Ready? Set? Go!

in faith, Cathy

Women's Work

Women's Educational Circle in Nepal

The inspiration for the OASIS project came in response to this picture of "Abram's and Sarai's oasis sent home by Navy Chaplain Blake Lasater while serving as a military chaplain in Iraq. OASIS is a non-denominational effort to carry out Jesus' invitation "Come to me and I will give you rest."   As Oasis volunteers be-friend and serve the homeless, we embody the hospitality of Godself in the world. Through OASIS, more of God's children are able to share in the abundance and living water provided for in the ordering of Creation.
