Oasis Church / Jubilee Christian Centre - Annual Report 2021

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. During 2021 some activities were resumed as lockdown restrictions eased.

Services / Gatherings

Throughout 2021, Sunday services continued during periods when restrictions were eased. By the middle of the year, we were meeting regularly in person on Sundays along with Prayer Gatherings on a weekly basis. The online services which we were running in partnership with Kingdom Culture Church, in Spennymoor, in the North East of England continued until August 22nd. We are very grateful to all those who helped to facilitate these online services which remain available on YouTube for anyone wishing to view. We also continued to use Zoom for online gatherings of groups and Alpha Courses, which were also run in partnership with Kingdom Culture Church.

Pop Up Pantry

Pop Up Pantry, which offers emergency food parcels to those in need of support, without the need for referrals, continued to operate throughout 2021.

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. One of our members was able to visit Albania in December of 2021 as travel restrictions were lifted.

We also helped to support several individuals and families through times of financial crisis.

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, this ministry continued its remarkable growth throughout 2020 and 2021 with an increasing number of nations throughout Africa and Asia in particular, using this course to support families and churches in their spiritual growth.

Water Carriers is being used in 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 2021; and we have been able to show video reports and other feedback from a number of nations, sharing the stories of lives changed through this course.

Throughout the period of lockdown we were 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 another 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.
