THE BOARD
As the leader of Charis Life Fellowship, Apostle Basil Oonyu doesn’t just preach the gospel—he lives it out by serving others selflessly and staying devoted to those in need. His deep understanding of people’s struggles and strong spiritual insight give us clear direction in our work. He’s a guide, counselor, and friend to everyone here, offering comfort, encouragement, and prayers to both our team and the elderly we help.

Through him, many elderly people we have had the privilege to engage, have been led to Christ.
