We have an amazing opportunity to reach our world and community through Oceanside's Christmas Offering.

What will your Christmas Offering go to?
 In 2011...
Oceanside went into our community and ministered to those right around us. We believe that God has placed us at 1728 Rifle Range for a reason. At the end of the summer we were able to go to the people of the Seagull community and share Christ with over 100. During the fall we were also able, through our Scaremare ministry, to share Christ to over 100 more people. In 2012 your Christmas Offering gifts will go to continue ministry outside the four walls of Oceanside Church.
 Unique Access is Given to International Missionary...
Eric Reese. Eric is an IMB missionary to Brazil. This picture overlooks Rio das Pedras, one of the gang-controlled favelas (slums) in Rio de Janeiro where he ministers. Eric's reputation as someone who has done good for the people in the favelas gives him access to share the Gospel in communities that would be hard to reach otherwise. And when you give to The Christmas Offering you're giving to Eric and his family so they can continue ministering to the people of Rio das Padras.

Lives were changed...
This past Summer when Oceanside's youth ministry was able to minister to 40 students for 5 days in a row. All made big decisions and several gave their lives to Jesus. When you give to the Christmas Offering students in high school and middle school have their lives changed. Not only do your offerings support summer camp but also Oceanside's weekly Reality ministry (And so much more).
Homeless men study the Bible...
During a training time led by international missionary Mark Hoshizaki in a park in Tokyo, Japan. "Jesus' first disciples were unlearned, unschooled men. Here we have an army of men who are the same," Wendy Hoshizaki reflects. "If God can do what He did through the first disciples, Japan can be changed." And when you give to the Christmas Offering you're giving so that people all over Japan can come to know Christ.
