Overview
Mission
The Oaks, an International Christian ministry to missionaries and cross cultural workers will bring emotional support to missionaries and workers on furlough and abroad in the field, through healing prayer and practical resources provided by trained pastoral counselors and lay leaders, and psychotherapy provided by licensed psychologists, counselors, social workers and MFTs.

We could never have even dreamed of this level of growth, and feel so humbled to come alongside these dear saints so they can continue about sharing Christs love in nations.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Liabilities are high compared with assets.
