About Oasis

Since 1996, by God's grace, Oasis World Ministries has seen:

Over 659,081 people receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior

More than 100 churches built in villages that had no Christian worship center

Over 250 fresh-water wells drilled in third-world villages that provides the daily water needs for up to 250 people

Over 23,000 pastors and Christian leaders trained and encouraged to disciple new believers in Christ

Over 33,000 people led to saving faith in Christ by Oasis national evangelists who travel to remote places where many have never heard the Gospel of a loving God.

Hundreds of new believers attending local churches after each Gospel & Healing Festival

Oasis World Ministries (OWM) is located in Maple Grove, Minnesota. It was born out of God’s call to Pastor Tom Elie in 1996 to reach the hearts and souls of third-world people through open-air festivals, training seminars, and social-need projects such as drilling fresh-water wells in the remote regions of the 10/40 window.

In 1999, five OWM Board of Director members were elected and installed to help guide the further development of Oasis’ strategies and plans as an independent non-profit entity. This has been accomplished in alignment with God’s calling and Tom’s desire to obey. This collective passion has produced a unique, focused approach to integrating the many facets of OWM’s work. (These include: water purification projects, evangelism, church planting and construction, festivals, pastoral training, ongoing discipleship of people new to the Christian faith, partnership with U.S. churches.)

To initiate its social dimension, OWM drilled its first fresh-water well in Africa in 1999. Since then, Oasis has raised the funds and completed over 220 fresh-water wells, 90 churches, conducted over 50 five-day Gospel & Healing Festivals and countless smaller festivals.
