Dear Extended Oasis Family,
Oasis Church is so much more..So many times we talk about weekend services. We have Christmas, Easter, our teaching series and many other ministries but Oasis Church is sooo much more.
Today, our own Ricky and Lily Garcia - members of our Executive team - led out an extraordinary inaugural launch at our Pembroke Pines campus. Ricky Garcia - Executive Pastor of Worship and day to day Operations; and Lily Garcia - Executive Director of Staff and Leadership Development; held a morning Seminar through their non-profit ministry The Legacy Ministries. Before they became part of our Oasis Team, they consulted with us as a church and because of their unusual and dynamic ministry, passion for God and The Church we invited them to become a full-time part of Oasis Church.
What most of our church does not know is they have two ministries that God uses them in around South Florida, around the country and even outside the United States. They are Tiaras for Girls - which we have hosted and also Legacy ministries - which is a ministry to serve and encourage pastors and local churches. This is so much a part of my heart and the Oasis 20/20 Vision that it’s a perfect match. This morning, they partnered with Oasis to bring in pastors and church ministry teams to do a 100 minute Leadership Seminar called Activate: Next Level Leadership. It was such a blessing and because of you that have made Love Cities, Love Pastors a reality we were able to bless one of the ministry families who never get away with a 3 night stay at the Oasis Beach House and Pastoral Retreat Center on Hollywood Beach. Thank you Oasis for loving and looking beyond our four walls to bless our community and other pastors and churches that need encouragement and love. You are an Oasis to others outside our normal weekend ministries. Your sacrificial giving is having a ripple effect in so many lives outside our little community of Oasis Church. Oasis Church is so much more...
By the way, there are 4 families and missionaries staying at our Oasis Beach House this week and next because of you! Oasis, you are so much more than a gathering on the weekend. Love Cities, Love Pastors is becoming a reality because of you! Thank you.
When you give to God through Oasis Church you are also giving to The Church and the Kingdom of God. It’s amazing how much your gifts are being multiplied. I am blown away. Thank you Oasis for being the drop.
I Love The Church teaching series continues this weekend. I won't go into all that will happen this weekend but will just say it is not a weekend to miss. I believe we will have one of the greatest weekends ever this weekend. I promise you, you do not want to miss it. If you missed the first two messages in this series I Love The Church please go back and watch them here! It will prepare you for this weekend. I can't wait to see what God is going to do in "His Church, The Church" this weekend through the local expression of The Church called Oasis. It is going to be EPIC!
I love you guys...

P.S. You can always give to the Lord His tithes and offerings ONLINE like I did today. Anytime | 24 hours a day. It takes just a couple minutes or you can bring His Tithes and offerings this weekend. But however you give back to God, God will bless you for your faithfulness, obedience and your generosity. He is amazing. It is so true that you can’t out-give God. He will show you up every-time when you give to Him and His Church. Thank you Oasis for giving.
