Juanita Duerkop Robbins - Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Hi! I'm Juanita Duerkop Robbins. My Master of Social Work is from The University of South Carolina - Go Cocks! My current license in SC is LISW CP&AP. I have attended counselor enrichment training provided by Focus on the Family during two summers, and have been trained to work with the special issues facing Pastors and other Christian Leaders and their families. I've been a social worker since 1983 and since then have worked in all kinds of settings. This has come in handy since I do, or have done, a little bit of everything at OASIS! Funny that there is still so much to learn! I am the CEO (Chief Executive Officer). Sometimes the other staff call me "boss". I am uncomfortable with this; God is the boss. I have a picture of Christ washing Peter's feet above my desk. I have tried to let this image of being a servant guide my life for a long time now. It is sometimes a hard task. I am always grateful for people who pray for me and all of us at OASIS. I am married to Dr. Paul Robbins, who truly loves the LORD, and serves Him to the last drop of his being on a daily basis. The needs at OASIS are so great. I am continually blessed and humbled by our calllings here. I could write a book about God's work over the years at OASIS. Thankfully He only shows me a step or maybe two at a time, like telling me to bring my son home, for I assure you if He had told me all that was to come these many years since back then I would have run shrieking in another direction!! :-) If you would like for someone to come and talk to your group about our ministry please let us know. Please call if there is anything you think we can help you with and we will try. May the LORD richly bless you and may His peace rest on you always. JDR
