Oasis was distressed to find a pirated copy of our book Baesics by Ernest and Turi Wamboye circulating on WhatsApp. Fortunately, an Oasis distributor quickly reported the matter to Ernest. Together, they were able to find out where the file had come from and urge everyone who saw the copy to delete it.

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have suffering or pain, or are rejected, hungry, frustrated, degraded, or disabled? No, despite experiencing all these things, Hilda Bih Muluh has experienced overwhelming victory through Christ, who loves her.

God has promised wonderful things to his children. Salvation from sin. The hope of eternal life. The constant presence of the Holy Spirit. But there is one thing God has never promised us: that our lives will be free from suffering.

I have been excited to write about Oasis’s Core Values for some time. Why? Because I really love working with my co-workers to accomplish Oasis’s mission. Our work is guided and formed in our daily activities, meetings, and interaction with those we serve by our core values. So I hope if you have the chance to interact with one of us, you can take a step back and say, “I see that; I see that value they live by. I can see how that person treats and respects me, how they genuinely care about what God has called me to do.”
