Oasis Trust (known as "Oasis") is a UK-based Christian registered charity. It was founded by the Reverend Steve Chalke in August 1985. Chalke had been assistant minister at Tonbridge Baptist Church, Kent, for four years. His aim was to open a hostel for homeless young people. Since its foundation the Oasis Trust has developed into a family of charities now working on five continents and 11 countries around the world, to deliver housing, education, training, youthwork and healthcare. Oasis is now a significant voluntary sector provider, delivering services for local authorities and national governments, as well as self funded initiatives aimed at providing opportunity to people across the globe. Oasis now has over 400 staff, students and volunteers involved in projects related to education, health and housing in the UK and worldwide. In 2008 the group acquired 75 Westminster Bridge Road, a further of office space.〔 〕 ==Church.co.uk== In 2003, Oasis along with Christ Church and Upton Chapel united to form ''Church.co.uk'' in Waterloo, London. Alongside a number of activities that run throughout the week, including running clubs, Southside radio station, football teams, befriending services and extensive youth and children's work, there is an 11.00 am Sunday morning service and a gathering at 6.30 pm on a Sunday which is more informal and creative. Church.co.uk is now a growing network of Christian communities around the country which share the same values. Further "Church.co.uk" network churches have developed running alongside the communities of the Oasis Academies in Salford, Oldham, Brightstowe, Bristol, Enfield, Southampton (Lord's Hill & Mayfield), Immingham and Wintringham.〔http://www.oasischurch.info/church_default.aspx〕 The ''Church.co.uk'' network have three goals and five values which they practice daily. The goals are to be all day availability, global and holistic and the values are inclusion, interdependence, intimacy, involvement and influence.〔http://waterloo.church.co.uk/who/our-vision/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oasis Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
