“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:19
Each day at 4:19 pm Chilean students, the staff of El Oasis, and others are praying with this scripture in mind. A once clothing store, turned campus ministry house in 2003, has now been bought out by a Chilean musician to be turned into a recording studio. We have been given until the end of February to find a new ministry house and move everything out. We can definitely see God at work in these circumstances.
While the heart and lifeblood of the ministry is the students, the campus house is the tool that God has allowed us to use to really serve the students in campus ministry. It is a safe place for students to come meet friends, fellowship, enjoy a meal, worship and grow together. The staff of El Oasis had been thinking that it would be nice to have a larger meeting space to accommodate the growing community of students. It would also be nice to have a place closer in to the city and universities which would be more accessible. With the recent news of the house being bought out, the decision has been made for us.
We are praying each day at 4:19 for God to provide a new meeting place for us. I would love for you to join in this prayer with us. We are trusting God to provide in a big way. With a house that is closer in to the universities, there will be lots more opportunities for ministry during the day in between classes. This will also make it easier for students to make it over to the campus house without having to make such a long commute.
