Africa Oasis partners with local churches to empower communities through Jesus-centered initiatives focusing on children at risk, food security, health education, water solutions, and women's empowerment—because LOCAL LASTS LONGER™.
Our approach is grounded in:
Local wisdom
Long-term sustainability
Empowerment through training
Respect for human dignity
The compassionate example of Jesus
Together with African churches, we’re seeing lives transformed—one community at a time.
Africa Oasis is the compassion resource ministry of the Assemblies of God World Missions Africa Region, serving in valued partnership to equip churches and missionaries with practical tools that meet needs and transform communities across the continent.
Suzanne has served as an Assemblies of God missionary in Africa for over 30 years, primarily in French-speaking West and Central Africa. She began her ministry as a registered nurse, using her medical training to meet urgent needs. Over time, she recognized the incredible capacity of the African church and shifted her focus to public health and sustainable community development through local church partnerships.
Suzanne serves alongside her husband Patrick, Area Director for Central Africa. They have three adventurous missionary children: Benjamin (with wife Lauryn and son Malakai), Abigail (with husband Jon), and Emily.
She holds a Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University and a Doctorate in Public Health from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
