We long to send you back to your local context encouraged and confident that life with Jesus goes deep, and that you will know as a young adult that you have a unique part to play in His Church! We’ll incorporate a mix of worship, spiritual teaching, group discussions, break-out conversations, fire pits, social activities, and prayer!

2025-26 Children’s Missions Project

UPDATE: D & K, WPA IWs involved with this years Children’s Missions Project recently came home due to unrest overseas. But their project that we are supporting through the Children’s Missions Project continues. Here is an update from K:

While D and I are now home unexpectedly, Oasis of Grace is still running strong in partnership with the local church. They have a great group that has dedicated the first and last Saturday of each month for this ministry. They have combined several of the ages together for this ongoing outreach. Music, Bible lessons, games, food, and even a little gift are provided at each outreach. We have been thrilled to hear of WPA VBS’ that have already begun raising money for this ministry! Our local church friends are so encouraged to know you all are supporting them this way! They have continuing needs for this outreach as they do it two Saturdays every month. Please continue to pray for this project- for the kids as they are ministered to and for the leaders as they serve! We are grateful for you all in WPA!

Every year, a special project is chosen to ignite hearts in Western PA — educating children about the Great Commission and inspiring them to play a part in God’s global mission! This exciting initiative not only teaches kids the importance of sharing the Gospel but also empowers them to support the vital work of our International Workers around the world.

This year’s project will be Oasis of Grace, bringing hope to children in Western Asia! Through Oasis of Grace, International Workers D&K are launching a vibrant weekly program designed especially for children who have lost one or both parents — offering them joy, love, and the hope of Jesus in the midst of deep pain.

They will minister to these children through crafts, games, music lessons, Bible stories, and so much more! For many, this will be the first time they hear about the love of Jesus!

Let’s bring light to a dark place. Will you join us? The program will run from June 1, 2025 - May 31, 2026. Give online here or mail checks to WPA District Of C&MA, P.O. Box 395, Punxsutawney, PA 15767. Make the check payable to WPA District of C&MA and designate that it is for “Oasis of Grace”.

We have many resources to help you promote this project in your church. There is a craft that you can do with the children in your church and get them excited, plus a video, PowerPoint, and brochure. For more information on any of these, including the password for the video, please contact Meredith Bratton at brattonm@cmawpa.org. This video cannot be livestreamed or posted online for the safety of our International Workers and to not compromise their ministry.
