My name is Billie Thaw, and I have a story to tell.
It’s not my story – it is God’s story of how He has transformed a dilapidated Georgian manor house, on the southern edge of Sheffield, into a residential holiday centre, and how He is using this special place to transform lives.
Dan and I first saw The Oakes on a cold, wet, foggy day in January 1996. The building felt like a giant fridge, and the grounds were so tangled and overgrown, that it was hard to find our way through them… yet we knew that this place was exactly what we had been hoping and praying for.
