Wayne Porter, affectionately known as "Dad Porter," was born on July 11, 1940, in the quiet town of Lubec, Maine. As the son of Laura Card Porter, a devoted Bible school teacher and Pastor, faith was his inheritance. However, it was an extraordinary encounter at age 15 that irrevocably set the course of his life. On that transformative night, Jesus Himself stood at the foot of his bed, His eyes blazing like fire, His presence an undeniable force. This divine encounter not only shifted Dad's understanding of church but ignited within him a thirst for a living and profound relationship with the Lord.

A spiritual father to many, Dad Porter's calling resonates far beyond the boundaries of his birthplace. He is on a mission to nurture a generation in a "Closer Walk with Thee," journeying to many nations to impart the anointed truths of the Bible through his soul-stirring songs and teachings. Yet, amidst his expansive endeavors, he considers his greatest joy to be the establishment of the Oasis Bible Training Center and Refuge Ministries in the scenic Finger Lakes region of New York State, alongside his son and daughter-in-law. Dad Porter's life is a testament to a divine calling embraced, a journey walked in faith, and a mission to lavishly love the Lord and His people.
