Missions - Oasis International

About Oasis International 

Our Mission

is to love and care for those seeking refuge from a war-torn country with the heart of Jesus.

Our Joy

is welcoming refugees from many nations to the United States who have experienced war in their home country. Since most of them have been in refugee camps, sometimes for 10 years or more, they arrive with few personal items. Oasis International helps them settle in St. Louis with furniture, household items, and clothes. English and citizenship classes are also made available to them; but most importantly they need our friendship.

Our Privilege

is to help connect individuals, churches, and civic organizations with community outreach to meet new refugees. One statistic we are changing is that less than 10% of the refugees settling in St. Louis will ever be befriended by an American.

Our Inspiration

is Jesus. We are loved by Him and we are called to love like Him.
