I am so proud of our youth. They are the very best.
Two years ago StreetReach – as I was arriving at Mt. Oak – our youth went on a trip to Ireland – a youth rally – and then after the rally 5,000 plus youth hit the streets of Belfast – working on yards simply because Christ’s love is free – people that maybe co
uldn’t or wouldn’t keep their yards up were helped.
Our youth came home excited – wanted to do it locally – did last summer and one Saturday each month throughout the year 
– 50 this summer for a week mission trip – several churches want in and a team from Belfast is coming next summer – worked on over 20 homes the first two days – still have through Friday this week – evening events each night – had over 150 people for movie night Wednesday – concert in Allen’s Pond in Bowie at 7 pm – our praise team – Friday night – it is awesome! Reaching the unchurched – several folks have called the church wanting to know who and where we were – all the kids are in lime green shirts with StreetReach on one side and Mt. Oak and our symbol on the back – very exciting… God is at work!

StreetReach is amazing!! To see the excitement on the youth's faces is awesome. Its a beautiful thing to be able to see young people on fire for Christ!
Jason,Dionne, and the rest of the team are all doing a remarkable job.
Maybe I'll take off work next year and camp out with them...
I am proud of our youth as well. Jason and Dione have done a good job with them as have their parents and their church family.
PROUD doesnt even cover the feelings I have for our youth. Unless you have raised teen agers I dont think you can fully appreciate what a huge undertaking this kind of project is. Most teens sleep till Noon, move from the bed to the couch or computer and then are glues to the computer, TV and cell phone all at once. The fact that these kids are giving up a week to help and serve others all for the Lord? Proud seems like such a small word. I am humbled, honored to know these kids, happy to learn from their servants hearts and thankful that Mt. Oak has such wonderful leaders in Dionne and Jason to lead these kids and make a difference in our community. God Bless them all! I was so happy to be able to provide "cold treats" to them Weds. night after the movie. Thanks to all that helped out! Pam Lowry
I am busting at the seams proud of our youth - as the stories and thank yous come in to the office - I know that they put the light of Christ forward! Way to go folks!
