What Alumni are Saying...

"It felt like we were given a life preserver and then given survival training to go along with it."

"We were able to break through old buried issues and pain. We felt vulnerable and safe at the same time."

"A significant breakthrough in dealing with painful bandages from past hurts. A warm accepting team provided a safe place to be open and honest."

"It's the first time in 20 years of ministry, that I was able to tell my story of hurt, without someone saying, 'Yes, but...!'"

"Though we were in seminary for years, I don't think all our education could have taught us what we learned this week as a young pastoral couple."

"We received much validation and affirmation of ministry in the context of loss. This concept of OASIS is critical to the church's current crisis in leadership."

"I sensed a release of my damaged emotions in a safe and caring atmosphere."
