Lately we have been wanting to upgrade the furniture in the dining hall. So Thursday Janet posted on her personal Facebook page that we were going to be looking for some new furniture, and if anyone had some they were willing to sell to send us a picture to consider buying it. She posted it at 7:04 am and around 9:30 am we received a phone call from someone telling us that we have been on their minds, and that they wanted to donate the brand new furniture we asked for to Oasis. All we had to do was go pick out what we wanted!

After a day of shopping we ended up buying two identical sets from Furniture Warehouse. While there we found out that the owners and their family are good Christian people. They were very friendly and we enjoyed doing business with them.

Below is an image of the new furniture and the evidence of God’s amazing miracles. He is always there for us in all we do.

Luke 11:9 (NIV) – So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Happy Easter from everyone at Oasis!

To help first time groups staying at Oasis we added 5 new directional signs.

Locations:

1. HWY-100 & Stony Point Rd.
2. New Roe Rd. & Stony Point Rd.
3. HWY-52 & HWY-174 (Dobbins Pike)
4. HWY-174 (Dobbins Pike) & Nubia Rd.
5. At a 4-way stop located on Nubia Rd.

*Nubia Rd. turns into New Roe Rd. as you cross the TN/KY state line.

Plan early for your next Christmas banquet.

We are excited to announce a new feature to the Oasis property! A secluded prayer garden complimented with a 20 foot cross. Standing in front of the cross is truly a moving humbling experience. We plan to add natural seating in the future for groups to gather and pray.

From Retreat – MISC

With the leaves changing, we have been able to take some incredible pictures here on the hill.

We have two ponds on the property. One is overflowing, and the other tends to leak and stay low all the time. The pond that is the main focal point is the one that is always low. These ponds are 720 feet apart, and we needed a way to move water from one to the other.

The issue: The ponds are 720 feet apart. (320 feet uphill and 400 feet downhill from full pond to low pond)

With some planning and 720 feet of 2″ PVC pipe, 1 check valve and 2 shut off valves we were able to construct a large siphoning hose which keeps the low pond continually looking great and full!

This was fun to build and requires no electricity to operate.
