Pastor Mike Tedder made to his congregation at The Tabernacle, an Assembly of
God church in Decatur, Georgia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pastor
Tedder made the commitment to run in the 10 kilometer, 2018 Oasis Race if the
church raised the goal of $10,000.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Church
members Ken and Amanda Corley led the effort for the Tabernacle to raise funds
to help the Africa Oasis Project (the Assemblies of God World Missions – Africa,
water initiative) to drill a much-needed well in Africa. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With abundant joy and celebration, a check for
$10,000 was presented to Gay Wall, the Director of Children’s Ministries for
the Georgia District of the Assemblies of God, to be given to the Africa Oasis
Project through BGMC to drill a well.</span></div>

</span>It has been our joy to continue to fulfill our missions calling in this
way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks you for your continued
prayers and support.</span></div>

Along the streets of Togo, and many other West African countries, casket makers ply their trade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They seem to have taken on the role of helping those who die to make a last statement when they pass from this world into the next.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may see a casket shaped as a fish, a car, a truck, a rocket, and yes even a helicopter or a flip flop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When a person passes away there is a certain amount of protocol that must be followed based on their position in society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes bodies are held for weeks as they order a special fabric to be designed for funeral clothes in honor of the deceased.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Included with the appropriate ceremony is the burial in a very distinctive coffin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we saw these helicopter and flip flop coffins we couldn’t help but think that as children of God we will not need an aircraft to take us up to heaven and we sure won’t be wearing flip flops as we walk those streets of gold.</span></div>

Outside the village of Tokpevia, Togo in West Africa you find this scene that is repeated many times a day by thousands of women and children across the continent of Africa. Every mother is doing her best to provide for her family the only way she knows how by providing the only water she has. Diseases, sickness, and bacteria permeate the water, but it’s the only way to quench their thirst. If only we could provide a healthy alternative.<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2FdXynG8ckM/VglDNJYUmyI/AAAAAAAAA5s/Ol96uc0tKnw/s1600-h/image%25255B7%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="float: right; display: inline" alt="image" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HZKsmRMEEfg/VglDN_LJdfI/AAAAAAAAA54/YQMmqSFcnQA/image_thumb%25255B3%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="168" align="right" height="126" /></a></p> <p>So many times our spiritual lives are just like this. We look for something to quench our thirst for meaning and all we find is the disease infested waters of meaningless relationships, practices, and philosophies that seem to quench our thirst for a while. When in reality we are taking in corrupt things that will eventually lead to sickness and destruction. Our sinful lives are based on thoughts, relationships, and activities that cause pain to us and to those around us.</p> <p>The Africa Oasis Project was able to put in a deep, fresh water well near the Assembly of God church in Tokpevia that completely changed the life of this woman and all the others in the area. People are coming to receive the fresh water and also finding the Living Water of Jesus Christ. The illnesses are going away and their lives are being changed by the forgiveness of Jesus Christ. In Psalm 103:3-4 we read that <i>“He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases; he redeems my life from the pit and crowns me with love and compassion.”</i></p> <p>PRAYER: Thank You Lord for providing the Living Water of life to meet all my emotional, spiritual and physical needs. </p> <p>Psalm 103:5 “<i>He satisfies my desires with good things…”</i></p> MARK AND VICKIEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06529053986055521110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3088462101391173949.post-20772259941232556592015-02-27T11:50:00.001-05:002015-02-27T11:50:01.837-05:00Bee Very Careful<p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-pC4OXfUNOBk/VPCgNTss7mI/AAAAAAAAA4o/ENsb_gtYczs/s1600-h/image%25255B5%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px;

Each of us is on an amazing journey through this life and hopefully we are following our Lord as we walk hand in hand with Him. Vickie and I have recently embarked on an unexpected path of our long, mission’s journey. As many of you know, my father passed away one year ago.. Dad was the caregiver for Mom and with his passing, we suddenly faced some major decisions. Also, less than three weeks after Dad’s passing, Mom had a severe stroke. Since that time Mom has been in a long term care facility in Hays, Kansas.</div>
<div align="justify">
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-POSAlakkIVg/U_9mP5yASCI/AAAAAAAAA28/j59FXEYsvaA/s1600-h/gw_Togo_agwm528%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img align="left" alt="Vickie and Mark Alexander." border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-b0SEuS1puMc/U_9mQrpwbPI/AAAAAAAAA3A/ZYWNPV9u2Ug/gw_Togo_agwm528_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="180" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: left; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Vickie and Mark Alexander." width="244" /></a> Coincidentally, just days after Dad’s funeral, Vickie’s mother in New Mexico experienced another hard fall with injuries and loss of memory. During her recovery, she shared with us the challenges she was facing, at her age, living on her own and trying to maintain her home. With these two wonderful, Godly women in mind, we began to pray and then felt the Lord was making it very clear to us that the time had come for us return to the United States at this time for the purpose of caring for our two mothers. </div>
<div align="justify">
After discussions with our Kansas District leadership, the National Church leadership in Togo, and at the invitation of our Assemblies of God World Missions-Africa leadership, it was decided that we would <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dmz0qkWszyI/U_9mREkkF9I/AAAAAAAAA3I/_TIk_wS9qWk/s1600-h/gw_Togo_agwm50%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img align="right" alt="At the bible school." border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gi4K8q2Xpdg/U_9mRqdp4xI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/We8JQG9Uia4/gw_Togo_agwm50_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" height="164" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="At the bible school." width="244" /></a>transition from West Africa to Springfield, Missouri for this time and continue our work and ministry from the States. We’re now new residents in Springfield and have moved Vickie’s Mom into our home as well. Her house sold in a miraculous way and we’ve experienced many answers to prayer during these major moves. We’re actively researching and seeking the right long term care home near us for my mother. Deuteronomy 5:16 tells us to “Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you.” We believe it is the right and honorable thing for us to do at this time.</div>
<div align="justify">
WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF CONTINUING OUR WORK WITH THE AFRICA OASIS PROJECT IN WEST AND CENTRAL AFRICA and our borders will expand even further throughout Africa! During the years that we resided in Togo, West Africa, we developed and worked with a wonderful network of missionaries, pastors, drillers, and friends that will continue to help us as the work of the Africa Oasis Project carries on across West and Central Africa and beyond. Our home base has changed but the work continues on…stronger and more focused than ever. </div>

AG missionary Mark Alexander and his wife Vickie." width="164" /></a>It was our intent to stay in Africa for many more years, but we believe that God has orchestrated this transition. The burden in our hearts for missions in Africa has not changed. I will be making frequent trips back to Africa to maintain and oversee the projects of the Africa Oasis Project and to work with the team of people who are already in place. The need is still great and the workers are still few so we are continuing to do what we can to carry the Living water of Jesus Christ and the much needed fresh water to those in Africa that are so physically and spiritually thirsty. Please continue to pray with us and we would ask that you continue to support our work with this ministry as the needs are ever present and growing. “God’s not finished with us yet.” Vickie has also been asked to take on the huge administrative challenge of managing the finances for the Africa Oasis Project across the entire continent of Africa. By God’s grace the Africa Oasis Project is growing and in turn, the administrative responsibilities are increasing as well. </div>
<div align="justify">
I was recently reading Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens…” and in the notes of my NIV Study Bible it said, “Humans have little or no control over times and changes. The eternal God sovereignly determines all of life’s activities.” And that is so true. May God bless you as you continue on your journey.</div>

On the 25th of January, 2012 Vickie started having pain in her abdomen and chest. After a visit to the emergency care hospital here in Togo it was decided, with consultation with our mission’s board, that South Africa was the best place for treatment.</p> <p align="left">We arrived in South Africa and Vickie was immediately put in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit where she was suffering from dehydration, her lungs were filling with fluid and she had a host of other serious heart related health issues. <i>Vickie was a very sick lady</i>. A second week was spent in ICU in a second hospital and a surgery was done to drain over 2 liters of fluid from her lung and a drain was left in her back for several days. By the end of our stay in South Africa we had seen 8 different specialists and there were many highs and some lows but God’s grace and Vickie’s sweet spirit brought her through this time of challenge.</p> <p align="left">We are back in Togo and Vickie is recuperating here at home. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE PRAYERS! What a blessing it was to receive so many wonderful thoughts and prayers by way of email and Facebook from all over the world. You are ALL loved and appreciated.</p> MARK AND VICKIEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06529053986055521110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3088462101391173949.post-65936166851796627412011-11-03T13:31:00.001-06:002011-11-03T13:35:38.070-06:00Difficult Roads to Difficult Places<p align="justify">        65 miles from the “almost paved” road, five hours, one way. Then back again in one day. As I drove over the moonscape road toward the distant and remote villages in Togo, West Africa I thought about how this very difficult road typified the life the people in this region live. We drove through deep canyon-like ruts, over and around large rocks that nearly blocked the road, deep mud holes and deep sand in other places. And it just seemed to go on and on. In villages along the way we saw so many people living just as their ancestors have lived for centuries. Standing near a mud puddle in the road  a woman is bathing; children are playing in the dirt with sticks and rocks. Simple houses of mud, sticks and grass <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FamHJSgEcHs/TrLrqPG0NUI/AAAAAAAAAwM/FG3CU-ycMt0/s1600-h/DSC02680%252520-%252520Copy%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" align="left" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-quihYuqwdVA/TrLrsSDX6SI/AAAAAAAAAwU/tSGn2vdTztc/DSC02680%252520-%252520Copy_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="268" height="166" /></a>are deteriorating. And yet, in village after village we see simple buildings with simple signs that indicate an Assembly of God church; and equally as present in this region are mosques. If there is a well the pump is locked so only those who attend the mosque may use it. The Christ-followers are driven away from any local source of water, even if the water is unclean. The pastors tell stories of having to walk great distances to find water that causes cholera, dysentery, diarrhea, and even yellow fever. There is nowhere to go for medical help or medicine because of the roads and the distance. The national leadership of the Assemblies of God in Togo has asked the AFRICA OASIS PROJECT to provide fresh water wells in the four villages of Séiboudè, Tindjassi-Sara Kawa, Guerin Kouka and Agbawilika. In one village the Chief, who is a believer,  is suffering from yellow fever as we write this. The Chief asked his pastor “please pray to <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-K1N0ZTMcVPQ/TrLr137cIRI/AAAAAAAAAwc/4QIluKERh88/s1600-h/DSC02709%252520-%252520Copy%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" align="right" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-cEz5_Zr1QTg/TrLr5BXIvTI/AAAAAAAAAwk/pNoG6jM1eFM/DSC02709%252520-%252520Copy_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="216" height="273" /></a>find someone to come and drill a fresh water well in our village to help relieve the sickness”. With your help the AFRICA OASIS PROJECT can meet that great need. <br />        In the villages the churches are accused of being corrupt and taking things from the village and giving nothing back. People are told to stay away from the church. “You are Christians but you don’t do anything to help us.” <br />        But there is more…. In the villages of Kadjale, Bonagana-sada and Mazada, in the same region, the AFRICA OASIS PROJECT was able to put in a deep well and a pump near the Assembly of God church in each village. The attitude of the people in the village and the reputation of the church has completely changed. The chief in Kadjale told the people that they must not destroy the church anymore and to leave the people of the church alone. The Chief said “the people of the church brought the clean water well to the village and if we bother them they will take away the water”. (Of course we would never do that.) Where the AFRICA OASIS PROJECT wells have been placed there has been a complete change of attitude in<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-drQB3maLyKc/TrLr8Ky3e5I/AAAAAAAAAws/zxLpi2rhdgE/s1600-h/DSC02684%252520-%252520Copy%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" align="right" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CciYao81CCk/TrLsAmxwhjI/AAAAAAAAAw0/PH8pEakoSgU/DSC02684%252520-%252520Copy_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="269" height="212" /></a> the village. Now the church is seen as a “good thing”.  The churches are growing and the village knows that they are there to stay and to help them. PRAISE THE LORD! <br />        WE NEED YOUR HELP… to alleviate the sickness and to show the love of Christ to the thirsty people in these villages  in Togo. Because of the remoteness of the area the wells are going to cost over $13,000 each. Please prayerfully consider giving financially and being a part of this great project to bring fresh, healthy water to fight back the diseases. And help us bring the Living Water of Jesus Christ to these wonderful, yet spiritually thirsty people … who live at the end of the difficult road in a difficult place. But that is where our God lives too.</p> <p align="justify">Your missionary servants, </p> <p align="justify">Mark and Vickie Alexander</p> MARK AND VICKIEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06529053986055521110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3088462101391173949.post-34779629242546366622011-07-12T08:42:00.000-05:002011-07-12T10:29:43.916-05:00“Why Have You Become a Wife?”<p align="left"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-dZ-2PbJf7yQ/Thxk157lmAI/AAAAAAAAAvs/QDtsXbX9Wbg/s1600-h/IMG_0050%252520-%252520Copy%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0050 - Copy" border="0" alt="IMG_0050 - Copy" align="right" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-cCg7scVdSUM/Thxk3JD6aII/AAAAAAAAAvw/i8oYQy_MbP0/IMG_0050%252520-%252520Copy_thumb%25255B11%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="249" height="232" /></a>     That is the question that the men of the village would ask Pastor Sampson SOLMA, the pastor of the Assemblies of God Church in the remote village of Waria, Benin. <br />     Waria is located on the Benin/Nigeria border where they are constantly troubled by bandits and thieves. <br />     Black market gasoline, guns and drugs constantly flow through the Waria area.<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ucA-ZFkDYEE/Thxk4fqxEpI/AAAAAAAAAv0/W2Q-XYvMUug/s1600-h/IMG_0188%252520-%252520Copy%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0188 - Copy" border="0" alt="IMG_0188 - Copy" align="right" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-U-0-ou9ugdA/Thxk5QtcrxI/AAAAAAAAAv4/7_5bBzzty04/IMG_0188%252520-%252520Copy_thumb%25255B10%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="248" height="220" /></a> <br />     Because of the danger to his wife Pastor Sampson would do the work that is usually reserved for the women of the village.

Actually, what I am referring to is that we took on a project that is not about a water well. Let me explain.</p> <p>We had a group of pastors from Kansas come to visit us and we took them to see the<strong> Africa Oasis Project</strong> well in the village of Tsito, Togo. While we were there a rain storm came through and we took refuge in the humble Assembly of God church facility there. During the storm a salvation message was given to the gathered people of the village and 12 people accepted Christ as their Savior. PTL! As we left the village the Kansas pastors agreed that the village of Tsito needed a permanent church structure and thus the idea was born. </p> <p>Back in Kansas funds were raised and we were asked to oversee the erection of a tabernacle building. In the last few weeks we worked together with our dear friends and missionary colleagues Berry and Tracey Brown, and many others as we put up the tabernacle structure you see in the accompanying pictures. It was a joy to work with the pastor, the village chief and many others from the village to make this project happen. The women and children also worked bringing stones and sand to help with the concrete. It was truly a cooperative effort and the result is greatly appreciated in the village. The church graciously gave us and the Browns chickens in appreciation.</p> <p> </p><div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none;

financial giving and continued prayers are making such a difference in this remote village. It is truly a testimony of the love of Christ. Very near the church, voodoo animal sacrifices are made exhibiting the darkness of Satan in the area. This church and building are a light in this dark world. <p></p> <p><b>Matthew 5:16 (New International Version) <br /></b><sup>16</sup> In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.</p> <p>So, wells are not enough. We also serve in any way that presents itself. Now it is back to drilling the much needed water wells and providing fresh water and the Living Water.</p> <p>Your missionary servants,</p> <p>Mark and Vickie Alexander <br />Africa Oasis Project</p>MARK AND VICKIEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06529053986055521110noreply@blogger.com
