Oasis has a vision

It's a vision to see every person given the opportunity to experience God ’s all encompassing love

It's a vision to see both individuals and whole communities transformed by His presence

It's a vision to see every local church once again take its place at the centre of its community

It's a vision to see the poor lifted up

It's a vision to confront injustice, tackle deprivation, challenge inequality and promote inclusion

It is this vision that we invite you to be a part of.

Together we can make a difference.

Steve Chalke
Founder - Oasis Global

Moving ahead

As you will see on this and our other websites, Oasis' work is both disparate and varied in nature with endless opportunities to serve, love, work and pray for the transformation of people and communities around the world.

This is our heart. It is why we exist.

There are many chapters still to be written in this unfolding story and what these will contain is as yet unknown. What we do know though is that, for this next chapter, all of us involved in Oasis are as committed to pursuing the vision God has given us as we have ever been.

How it all began

As a young person, Steve Chalke got involved in visiting London's famous cardboard city, the place where many of the city's homeless lived.

That and other experiences as a teenager gave rise to a vision Steve had to establish a school, hostel and hospital for the benefit of the poor, which eventually led to the establishment of Oasis in the UK.

Steve's wife, Cornelia suggested the name ‘Oasis' because she saw the envisioned home for the homeless young people as an oasis from the rigours and deprivation of street life.

What was unknown at the time was that this small Trust would develop into an organisation that would reach not just the streets of London but also of many other cities around the world.
