Oasis Church / Jubilee Christian Centre - Annual Report 2024
Introducton
Oasis Church was based at St Barnabas Church Centre in Hereford from 2017 to the end of March 2024. Since April 2024 we have been meeting at St Mary’s High School in Lugwardine on Sundays.
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 nations throughout the world.
Aims and Actvites
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.
Services / Gatherings
Throughout 2024, Sunday services continued along with other associated activities. Various groups have continued to meet in person and online.
We also continued to host a Filipino group and three other church communities from the south of India, who held their services at St Barnabas up until the end of March 2024.
We also continued to help facilitate City Praise, a gathering in Hereford Cathedral, which provides an opportunity for people from across various denominations to join together in worship and prayer.
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 man who works with indigenous tribes in northern Malaysia, a couple who have planted several churches 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 growing church community in Bathore, Albania.
We also helped to support individuals 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 grew to serve families and churches in an increasing number of nations throughout Africa and Asia.
Thank you
The Trustees want to thank everyone for their continued support throughout the year. Thank you to those who have given financially to support the ongoing ministry of Oasis Church and in particular your donations which 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.
