Our 3 College Summer Missionaries for Our OASIS Center
Brandon Parham, Angie Turner, and Hayden Roberts our our three Summer College Missionaries who will work full time out of our OASIS Community Center in Samoset all of June and July.
They need VOLUNTEERS to help! If you are a high school student or adult we'd like to talk to you about helping out an hour or more each week, or with special events along side our summer missionaries. The core of their ministry is recreation and sports outreach to elementary and young teens. But there are many other ways to help too. So if you like to play and love kids or teens, let us know! Here are the times they will be at the Center:
OASIS Summer Missionary Schedule (subject to change):
Monday morning/afternoon/evening until 7:30 or so
Tuesday afternoon
Wednesday morning/afternoon
Thursday morning/afternoon
Friday afternoon/evening until 8 or 9pm
Saturday late morning & early afternoon
