What it says it does
The Oaks, an International Christian ministry to missionaries and cross cultural workers will bring emotional support to missionaries and workers on furlough and abroad in the field, through healing prayer and practical resources provided by trained pastoral counselors and lay leaders, and psychotherapy provided by licensed psychologists, counselors, social workers and MFTs. It is our desire to see His people abundantly supported in the mission field to continue the call on them to minister the Gospel to unreached people groups and nations.Since July 2009, the Oaks Counseling, Inc. has ministered to thousands of missionaries from varying mission agencies in over 90 different field countries. We could never have even dreamed of this level of growth, and feel so humbled to come alongside these dear saints so they can continue about sharing Christs love in nations.
