Brandon Paine
Worship Leader
Years at Oasis: Around seven years.
Years In Ministry: About 11 years. Though I always grew up helping my dad with worship, it wasn't until halfway through high school that I became a worship leader for the first time.
Grew Up In: Thailand and China
Favorite Food: Khao Soi, but authentic food from mostly anywhere will get me riled up.
Favorite Oasis Memory: My first time there! I remember Pastor Bubba speaking passionately from the heart of God and my heart was moved to come to the front. I felt at home and loved by all around me, and wanted to keep coming back ever since.
What I Love About Serving at Oasis: The people in the church are truly open to hear from the Holy Spirit. I have honestly been amazed to see the Holy Spirit in action as tensions are dissipated and hearts are softened in discussion. They seek to understand and have open hearts to whatever God may be saying, leading to some truly amazing things happening. When you get out of the way of the Holy Spirit, THINGS HAPPEN!
On my day off you can find me: Visiting a comic book store or playing video games with friends. Mostly being geeky.
A book or books I would recommend: The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini is really amazing, though I'm biased because I grew up on it.
