## **Oasis Church / Jubilee Christian Centre - Annual Report 2020** ## **Introduction** Oasis Church has been based at St Barnabas Church Centre in Hereford since 2017. Our focus for ministry extends beyond the city of Hereford, across the County and beyond. We partner with other churches in our city and county in various initiatives as well as investing into overseas missions through a number of individuals and charitable organizations who are engaged in Christian mission and relief work in a number of nations throughout the world. ## **Aims and Activities** Our main aim as a church family is to represent Jesus Christ and reproduce followers of Christ. We aim to present the message of Jesus Christ and live out our faith in ways that are consistent with this message and are of benefit to local communities, offering them the opportunity to explore faith for themselves and discover the relevance of the Christian message for their lives. We also work in partnership with other churches and agencies in seeking to achieve our aims. ## **Lockdown restrictions** The lockdown which began in early 2020 resulted in most of our ‘in person’ activities being suspended. ## **Services / Gatherings** Sunday services were suspended at certain times during the year. At other times, gatherings took place under restrictions. We launched online services which continued into 2021. These online services were run in partnership with Kingdom Culture Church which is based in Spennymoor, in the North East of England. This provided an opportunity for people to gather online and interact during the screening of the service, which remained available on YouTube for others to catch up on later. We also used Zoom for online gatherings and partnered with Kingdom Culture in running online Alpha Courses. ## **Pop Up Pantry** In 2019 we launched Pop Up Pantry, offering emergency food parcels to those in need of support, without the need for referrals. Throughout 2020 food parcels were delivered to the doors of those who requested help. ## **School of Ministry** The School of Ministry resumed in January but once the lockdown was imposed these gatherings were suspended for the rest of 2020. ## **Mission Support** We continued to invest into overseas missions through a number of individuals and charitable organizations who are engaged in Christian mission and relief work. Among others, we continue to support a young man who works with indigenous tribes in northern Malaysia, a couple who have planted a church and are reaching out to communities in Belgium and a ministry that has built and continues to run several children’s homes in India. We have also continued to support a church in Bathore, Albania. We did not send any teams to visit Albania or any other mission we support in 2020 because of travel restrictions but we have had regular contact with the church in Albania via Zoom and with others using WhatsApp. We also helped to support several individuals and families through times of financial crisis. Continued... 1 **Water Carriers** Water Carriers is the name given to a discipleship course written by one of our members, primarily designed for children, young people and families in developing countries. This project was launched in 2019 and in spite of the lockdown in 2020, this ministry continued its remarkable growth in an increasing number of nations throughout Africa and Asia in particular. This includes several nations where Christians are actively persecuted. In some cases, people are risking their freedom and even their lives to share their faith in Christ and encourage families in their spiritual growth. The demand for more copies this material continued to grow throughout 2020 and we were able to show video reports in our online services from a number of nations, sharing the stories of lives changed through this course. Throughout the period of lockdown we have been able to advance our aims and objectives in so many different nations using this course, which has now been translated into a number languages. ## **Thank you** The Trustees want to thank everyone for their continued support throughout such a difficult year. Thank you to those who have given financially to support the ongoing ministry of Oasis Church and in particular your donations that have helped people here in the UK and across the nations of the world. Thank you for putting your faith into action and using your gifts and available resources in creative ways to share the love of Christ and serve others. Your partnership is greatly appreciated. 2 ||**JUBILEE CHRISTIAN CENTRE**|**JUBILEE CHRISTIAN CENTRE**|**JUBILEE CHRISTIAN CENTRE**|**1143454**|**1143454**|**1143454**|**CC16a**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**For the period**
