Wishing you this much joy as you celebrate Christmas today!

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

We’re so grateful for all the ways you’ve supported Oasis this year.

Merry Christmas from the sweet girls at The Valley!

Kids don't "age-out" of the Oasis program. We help our kiddos get into the right high school and vocational programs for them so that they can continue their education and find jobs once they graduate.

No matter how old they are, they'll always have family in Oasis!

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

These kiddos are constantly reminding us that peace isn't found in circumstances that go according to plan. Peace is accessed in Jesus, even when the wind blows, the storm rages, the battle roars.

Wishing you peace that passes all understanding this Advent season.

These besties are bringing a little sunshine and a lot of hope into your day.

What's bringing you hope as we enter the Advent season?

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

Kenya's future leaders right here. These young men already affect the atmosphere around them, and their influence is only increasing!

A rare moment of sweetness from this one who's filled with the best kind of sass.

Every child deserves a place to belong - we're so glad she belongs here!

This sweet girl in the middle - Head up. Eyes forward. Smile lighting up her face.

The ground will be there whether she looks for it or not, so she's not wasting time looking for what's coming. She's looking for the adventure along the way.

In case you need a little joy to wrap up your week - this should do it!

What's one thing that's bringing you JOY in this season?

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

This is our posture today as we seek the Lord in Kenya, in the US, and around the world.

Drop a 🙏 in the comments if you're joining us in prayer today!

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

We practice gratitude as an act of shifting our perspective toward what we have instead of what we lack.⁠

What's one thing you're grateful for this Monday?

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

Things feel pretty upside down and backward in every way right now.

In a season where we're hearing lots of bad news, tell us something good! Share your good news below and let's all celebrate! 🎉

"Just because someone carries it well doesn't mean it isn't heavy."

We're so proud of the ways these kiddos carry their stories...but don't forget how much they're overcoming, healing, and growing.

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

These girls work hard to overcome obstacles every single day. We're so glad they can do it together!

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

He's so proud to show off this treasure. Hey, whatever makes you happy. We'll just snap a picture and keep our distance!

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

Can't you just hear the whispers and giggles? We love seeing these deep friendships form at each of our sites!

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

We’re so thankful for the army of people that surround and support these kiddos.

From washing dishes to tutoring their lessons to tucking them in at night, our staff is incredible at loving them, championing them, and advocating for them every step of the way.

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

To be clear, we aren't their savior, their rescuer, their redeemer. That role has already been filled.

But we sure do love getting a front-row seat to how God is restoring their little lives!

[Oasis For Orphans @oasisfororphans]

Healing doesn't always look like big toothy grins.

Sometimes it looks like eating slowly.
Sometimes like sleeping through the night.
Sometimes it looks like saying no.

And sometimes it looks like grins that stretch from ear-to-ear.
We'll celebrate healing any way we see it!
