Lauren Hamilton- At Oasis, the coffee shop for the homeless, we had the opportunity to talk and play with a couple of young people.  Jason was a six year old who said he didn’t have a mom anymore because she did drugs and drank beer.  After talking to his father I found out he didn’t want Jason to be around her, but always told him about her.  He was a funny kid who told a lot of stories, life how he was a gang member.  I could tell the worst thing in the worked for him was when I stopped giving him full attention.

Elizabeth Gribble-  At Oasis there was a younger boy named Jason.  Jason comes from a very unstable home and has not seen his mom in a very long time.  Lauren and I talked with him for a while.  He said he has diabetes.  He’s only 6 years old.  We talked longer, and I enjoyed learning about him.   The trouble in his life showed.  I pray and wish the best for Jason, his dad, his mom and grandma and that in time they will find the Lord.

Matt Jackson- Nadine and the Oasis coffee ministry was a wonderful ministry that was touching the lives of the needy.  I really enjoyed spending time with our group and our ministry partners. It became clear that we were not just here to minister to others but also to each other.
