Servant’s Oasis exists because those who serve others need resources to be restored.

That was the heart of the conversation as Dr. Roy Smith, founder of Servant’s Oasis, joined Debra Pinkerton on Morning Light to share more about the mission, vision, and ongoing work of this unique retreat center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

For more than 30 years, Servant’s Oasis has been committed to supporting people who dedicate their lives to caring for others. Pastors, missionaries, ministry leaders, first responders, helping professionals, veterans, volunteers, and community leaders often carry heavy burdens while quietly pouring themselves out for the good of others. Servant’s Oasis was created to remind them that they are not forgotten.
