Comments from youth attending the U.S.E.

“Since attending the Urban School of Evangelism, my outlook on life has changed completely. Things that used to frighten me (like talking to strangers about God’s amazing love) are now a day-to-day thing. It’s been 3 years since my first time at the Oasis. I have graduated from high school and am currently applying for a six month mission trip with YWAM. I am so excited, missions is a huge part of my life. Thank you for allowing God to use you all in such an awesome way.” Kristi, California

“I think that this is something everyone should experience. It’s opened my eyes. It’s not about me. It’s about the lost. You don’t have to be a “missionary” to reach out or share.” John, Oregon

“This mission trip has helped me break out of my “comfort” zone/bubble. It has got this ‘fireball’ inside of me that just makes me want to keep going and never stop. It is an awesome feeling.” Melissa, Texas

“I am going to risk it and reach out to kids at school when I return home.” Andy, Michigan

“I used to think that God couldn’t use me, but when the Holy Spirit hit me this week, I truly know that I can do all things through Christ.” Josephine, who gave her heart to the Lord at the Oasis as a teen. She is an evangelistic dynamo.

“Just today I contemplated suicide. My classmate killed himself last week and I have felt that I have nothing to live for. My home is a total wreck. But I’ve realized this week I don’t need to end my life but to help others with theirs. I have rededicated my life to Christ this week and I would like to become an urban missionary intern.” L.W.
