In Luke 10:2 Jesus told his followers, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
Praise the Lord with us for once again adding more laborers to the Oak Tree team! We are thrilled to introduce to you our newest staff members, Krisy Holland and Jamiya Harris.
Many of you have been following along and praying with us as we not only sought to hire a teen girls ministry coordinator, but also grieved the loss of our dear friend and fellow laborer, Piretta Key. The process was not easy, but the Lord has been so faithful to answer prayers of comfort and specifically provide more than we could ever ask or imagine when it truly felt impossible. We cannot thank you enough for your prayers, encouragement, and generosity to support us over the past few months.
There were so many wonderful applicants for the position that when it came down to it we couldn’t choose just one; there were TWO ladies who we knew HAD to be a part of the team! Both Krisy and Jamiya brought unique gifts and passions to the table that would not only be a great fit with our teen girls, but would strengthen the entire Oak Tree team. We quickly saw that their roles could expand beyond teen girls ministry and would bless the over all ministry in more ways than one.
Together Krisy and Jamiya will be investing in our middle and high school girls, expanding our current programs and building relationships with the girls. Krisy will also assist our team as we expand into our community development efforts (more exciting things to share on this soon), and assist in partnership development. Jamiya will also assist in our rapidly growing elementary ministry.
Help us give a big Oak Tree Family welcome to Krisy and Jamiya!

“I’m thrilled to join the Oaktree team in loving, learning and doing life with our friends in Mark’s Village. The Lord has graciously made a place here to display His glory through the skill set He created in me.”
“Hi, my name is Jamiya but people also call me Miya. I’m super stoked to see what God has in store for Mark’s Village. Can’t wait to have so many memories and dance parties with the Oak Tree family!”
