The feature article in the religion section of the Southwest Times Record in Fort Smith, Arkansas, on Saturday, February 8, 2003, was about ministers with "burn out." We had someone that same week come by who has a ministry to step parents. This friend needed council and encouragement from someone that cares about him and his ministry. The list goes on! One of the main objectives of Oaks Manor Conference and Retreat Center is to provide facilities and support for needs like these.

In summary, the ministry of Oaks Manor Conference and Retreat Center provides a refuge from a busy and demanding world and a place where adults who "wait upon the Lord can renew their strength...." Isaiah 40:31

These grounds belong to God and will remain drug and alcohol free.
