Rev. Tom Elie has been a pastor, worship leader, church planter, evangelist and trainer in the Twin Cities since he was 19 years old. In 1996 he took his first ministry trip to India. Ten years later he and his wife, Vicki, celebrated a decade of ministry forming partnerships with the Indian Christians through Oasis World Ministries (OWM). Kim Halberg has captured their journey of faith through creating vivid imagery in the reader’s mind by weaving in elements of humor, and using discretion for some of the more controversial chapters.
Meet Me at the Oasis can be read independently as a training tool for those seriously considering going into the ministry or used for a group study. Seasoned people of the ministry will also benefit by identifying with Tom and Vicki as they navigate through the challenges and rewards of full time ministry. Lastly, but not least of all, all of us volunteer Christian workers who serve in the ministry with all our hearts, will be encouraged to keep serving along side of those called to be the “spearhead” in the front lines of ministry.
