The Oasis - the film

Only moments ago we viewed the documentary film known as The Oasis, produced by Shark Islands Productions. Mark it in your coming attractions. ABC TV (Australia) will be showing it on Thursday night 10th April for the whole country to see. I would only recommend it for adults to view, but commend it to them wholeheartedly.

There are no less than 22,000 homeless youth in Australia. 1,000 of them stay at a SA facility each night. Meet a few of them and witness their revealing journeys in this documentary. God help us.

James 1:27 (MSG)
27 Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world.

10th April - good date - the founder's birthdate, I think. Looking forward to the program.

No hero nomination today? My vote goes to all of those young people struggling to cope with life on the streets and bearing deep scars from a damaged childhood. Jesus is present in and with them - though this might not always be evident. Places like the Oasis are a sacred space of compassionate care - may there be more of them for those who need to know God's love.
