Help our missionaries, staff,
and service teams to live with
love and compassion.
Remember our families.

 Joshua Ma Memorial Prayer Garden
will be dedicated on June 16 at Oasis.
Our dear friend and missionary Joshua Ma
designed this prayer garden as a quiet

The center of the peaceful alcove is a
beautiful native stone fountain set against
a bamboo background surrounded by
flowers and trees.
We thank God for Joshs life and service.
