St Louis: Immigrants & Refugees
OASIS MINISTRIES ST.LOUIS is a ministry opportunity of global proportions located in St. Louis' south city - home to thousands of refugees from war-torn countries around the globe.
Many of the people we minister to have lost family and friends as a result of war or disease. They come with fears, grief and broken hearts. When they escape the terror of the war, they end up in a refugee camp, sometimes without electricity, water, decent shelter, or education. Most refugees have lived in a refugee camp for as many as 15 years (usually in a country other than their home country).
When they arrive in St. Louis, the U.S. Government provides three month's rent. During this time they must find a job, set up transportation, and learn English, in addition to learning the customs and laws of a completely new country.
OUR MISSION is to help these families get started in practical ways with furniture, clothes, housing and jobs. We also want to encourage them as well, through tutoring, mentoring, and counseling. Simply being their friend can make the transition to the U.S. easier. With your help we can make a difference and reach the nations right here in St. Louis.
Your donations of furniture, household items, vehicles, and finances, as well as any time you can volunteer, will connect your to families in need.
