A little more about Tom
Tom Elie grew up at Bloomington Assembly of God (now called Cedar Valley Church) in Bloomington, Minnesota. After High School he helped launch the Jesus People church in Minneapolis and was on staff there as music minister for 12 years. In 1984 he and his wife, Vicki, began Praise Assembly of God (now Praise Christian Center) in Crystal, Minnesota, where he was the senior pastor for 20 years.
In 1996 Tom founded Oasis World Ministries, a non-profit ministry headquartered in Maple Grove, Minnesota, dedicated to winning one million people to Christ around the world. By God’s grace, Oasis and its partners have already seen 492,004 decisions made for Jesus.
In September 2004 Tom felt called to leave the pastorate at Praise Christian Center in order to go full time into the evangelistic ministry of Oasis World Ministries. God’s favor rests upon him as he shares his heart and ministers both in the U.S. and in third World Countries.
As a seasoned worship leader and song writer, Tom leads people into refreshing times of worship before the Lord. He also has a heart to help pastors equip their people to build bridges to unbelievers, and to confidently share their faith. Through his weekend partnerships with churches, he has seen many people gain a new excitement for spreading the good news to their friends, neighbors and co-workers.
