What is Oasis?
Oasis is a small group 5 day retreat sponsored by Power to Change (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, Canada). Designed for those in church or missions ministry, it is here that the special spiritual, psychological, mental, physical and leadership needs of those in professional Christian ministry are understood and addressed. With a maximum of 12 people per retreat, couples and singles have plenty of time for interaction with each other and the staff while pursuing personal refreshment and renewal.
The atmosphere of safety and confidentiality, combined with a mature, professional and godly staff, who listen and counsel with wisdom and understanding, will minister to your soul. Teaching sessions by highly qualified pastors, missionaries and psychologists focus on dealing with some of the major pitfalls in life and ministry. You will be equipped with strategies and tools that help strengthen your ministry and build quality relationships. You will have the opportunity for several personal counseling sessions with the retreat directors or with professional counselors.
In addition, the Birkman Motivational / Self-assessment and Occupational profile tool will be used to help better understand your own strengths, needs, and stress behavior. Then during the weeks and months following, our staff will be in contact with you by phone and e-mail, as part of our accountability and follow-up plan.
