Since our founding in 1996, by God's grace, we have seen in India:
- Over 492,000 people receive Jesus
- Over 90 churches built in villages that had none
- Over 200 fresh-water wells drilled in 3rd world India villages
- Over 15,000 pastors and leaders receive training and
encouragement
- An average of 1,000 new believers attending local churches after each 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 third world people through crusades and training and social need projects in the smaller, rural jurisdictions of India.
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, crusades, pastoral training, ongoing discipleship of new converts, partnership with U.S. churches, etc.)
To initiate its social dimension, OWM drilled its first fresh water bored-well in Africa in 1999. Since then, Oasis has raised the funds and completed over 200 fresh-water wells, 90 churches, conducted over 50 open-air Gospel & Healing Festivals and countless mini-festivals.
Many lives have been impacted by these “Waters of Love” projects!
