Welcome to the Christ Oasis Blog

We are the church that Jesus Christ and the world – currently about 30 different nationalities– are building, with an epicenter in Chicago.

We are extremely excited as well as humbled by the magnitude of God’s call to us in the scheme of His Greatest Commission and Commandment. In a nutshell, the church, which started in the basement of a two-bedroom ranch, has grown to be entrusted with the following ministries:

· One church with multi-campuses and services in Chicago and its western suburbs

· The Oasis Dream Center (started as Chicago Dream Center) – Outreach ministry to the inner City of Chicago and its metropolis

· Illinois Springs Realty – real estate company managing the church’s 400,000 square-foot facility on 15 acres in Chicago

· Oasis Africa – Outreach to countries in Africa

· Oasis Caribbean – currently under planning

· The Oasis Family Health Center – non-profit clinic and health services to the indigent in Chicago and its environs

· Oasis Kids Konnection Ministry – outreach ministry to children in the inner City of Chicago

· Springs Healthcare Agency – provides education and job placement in the health sector

· The Embassy - ministry of young adults with an exceptional passion for the Lord

We are on course to becoming a ministry with “24/7” operations in the Kingdom of God across the globe. There is insatiable hunger and thirst in our hearts for the love and old landmarks of our Lord to be established in every locality in the world. We blend an uncompromising stance on the full gospel with a contemporary modus operandi.

It is our prayer that you will be encouraged, enlightened and refreshed as you browse this site and hopefully return on a consistent basis. There is still a remnant chosen according to the election of grace in our generation and, as we work together in the Lord’s vineyard, His knowledge and glory will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amid all the turmoil in the world today, we firmly believe in sharing and spreading the oasis of God’s love.

We would appreciate your fellowship at the OASIS on any day. Once again, thank you for visiting our site. We love you very much.
