January 2009: Liberia

Upwards of 10,000 people made decisions to follow Jesus!

Tom and the pastors bowed before God in
a prayer of repentance during the Liberia
crusades held in January 2009.

By God's grace, Tom and the Oasis team have returned from ministering in the war-torn country of Liberia, Africa. This country has experienced two civil wars in fourteen years that have destroyed the country's infrastructure: water and power grid systems. Unemployment has climbed to 80%! There is no electricity in the entire country except what is generator-driven. The burnt-down and sho-up buildings are everywhere. Yet these resilient people are hungry for God to heal their wounds and rebuild their lives.

During this two-week trip, the team saw God do many incredible works during our two weeks of ministry:

Four fresh-water wells drilled and dedicated in areas

that have no clean water

Over 600 pastors of all denominations attended

our two pastor's schools

Two 5-day open-air crusades in rural and under-reached areas

of Tubmanberg and Kakata

Over 100 physical healings recorded by our Oasis team

And we believe over ten thousand people will have received

forgiveness from Christ as a result of this trip!

The actual number is difficult to pinpoint because God gave great favor for Tom to preach the message of "repentance and reconciliation" on a LIVE secular radio station, FM Truth, that covers the who nation of Liberia and parts of three surrounding nations. This message of repentance and reconciliation was heard by as many as 200,000 people! We're certain that thousands more may have prayed for salvation while listening to the radio.

The team also met a man with an amazing story of transformation like that of Saul of Tarsus. This man was 'bred' to be the high priest of his tribe. Liberia and the surrounding countries knew him as a killing machine because he was the fiercest terrorist known to Liberia. They named him 'General Butt Naked'. When he was under a demonic spell, he fought the opposing armies with a machete and without wearing a stitch of clothing. demonic forces protected him from the bullets of opposing terror groups and armies.

Yet one day God appeared to him in a vision and said, "Why are you a slave?"

He realized that his demonic powers were no match to that of Jesus and received Christ as his Lord and Savior. He spent a period of time being discipled in the Christian faith. Today, General Butt Naked has been renamed 'Joshua'. He shared parts of his incredible testimony with us during five our our ten crusade nights.
