In the four years that I have been involved at Oasis, I have seen countless lives transformed, including my own. The work Oasis does with women is beyond amazing. I have seen women set free from addictions, I have seen families restored and I have seen women who once were takers from the system become productive members of society who are giving back to the community. The beauty of Oasis is that they not only help ladies overcome their addictions but they also deal with the root issues which caused these addictions to begin with, thereby truly setting the captive free!

Elim Pacific Ministries is dedicated to Love people where they are at, but not to leave them there. It is wonderful to see how they use a holistic approach to impact the person at the root of the issue so that they can truly start to heal and move forward in their walk with Christ and living in freedom. I love working for Elim Pacific Ministries. I tell everyone I know to come and spend time working here because I know that it will revolutionize their life and the way they minister.

I came out to help at Oasis when it was first getting started back in 2004. Not only did I love what was happening in the lives of women, my life was changed in the process too. This is a great place to serve and would highly recommend it as a life-changing center.

While I was finishing my degree, I was able to do my internship at Oasis. Elim Pacific Ministires and their many outreaches are making a difference. I loved working with the ladies at Oasis. While I was able to learn a lot and grow as a professional. Watching the ladies overcome addictions and start living in a new way is really powerful.

I work at the Oasis Empowerment Center and it is truly an Oasis for women who are lost and suffering from drug addiction. I have seen family reunification and women get sober. This is a fantastic supportive system for women and really helps them achieve sobriety in a Christian-focused environment. Many of the ladies receive Christ as their salvation and have that extra support in their sobriety and are able to grasp their dreams again. The heart of the Oasis workers is amazing and many of the staff are prior clients giving back - it is awe-inspiring.

I have seen women have hope for their future restored to them through this amazing work and have tangible experience of the love of the living God in their lives. Its an amazing work being achieved here and its impacting many lives in an enormously powerful way. The material used by this ministry is unashamedly Christian and is very powerful. On my first visit to Guam I was witness to many receiving a believers baptism in the ocean, most of those being baptised were recovering addicts of some description. As well as fighting their demons effectively and being equipped with the tools to continue to do that, these ladies often find the only living and active God in the process. It is life changing.

It was such a privilege to be able to share my story and encourage the lives of the women at the Oasis Empowerment Center. This recovery center for women is really making a difference. Ladies are moving from addiction and homelessness to sobriety and a life that is more able to lead towards HAPPILY EVER AFTER than they have ever experienced before. I really like the work Oasis is doing.

I have helped out with childcare at the Oasis. In order for women with children to come to some of the special events at the Oasis, I was glad to be able to help with with childcare. Because of this, many of the women could benefit from the training times and receive healing in their hearts.

I came to help with the annual fundraising event as a principal dancer. Annually their DANCING FREE fundraiser includes a dinner show and along with an array of client testimonies, everyone hears the far-reaching impact that the Oasis project is having.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Being able to work with the women in the Oasis program. This is not just a project to help people out of a problem, women can have the ultimate extreme makeover. So many women are moving from a victim mentality to becoming overcomers.

Not have to waste time with fundraising.

My wife and I had an opportunity to serve the ministry fro a number of weeks between late April to mid-May 2010. We both found Oasis to be a professional (though not sterile) and holistic ministry to those who struggle with dependent/addictive issues. The staff is thoroughly professional and hard-working while maintaining a balance of compassion and accountability with the clients. In the few days I have been here I have had an opportunity to interact with other pastors who are aware of what the Zimmermans are doing here on Guam. These pastors acknowledge the effectiveness and necessity of this ministry..which is a testament to the ongoing work of Oasis.
