Both Jack & Jhael Hakimian sensed God’s call in 2008 to move to Miami in order to plant house churches, develop leaders & do life empowering holistic ministry. They have a long term vision for Miami!

Jack is half Lebanese Armenian & West African Liberian. This has placed a special burden in him to help immigrant families in America find their place & purpose thru Christ.

Jhael is half Panamanian & African-American & was a long time resident of South Florida before she went to college. She has a special burden to see revival in Florida!

Together they minister as a family with the Oasis Ministry Team!
