OASIS Summer 2013

After our graduation party where we saw 12 OASIS youth graduate OASIS spent quite a bit of time exploring Akron as well as the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.  Throughout the Summer we took hikes, held scavenger hunts, walked through rivers and had a barbecue. We also got the chance to stay at the Stanford house in the National Park for two nights.

We took youth and adults 12 in all, to the Northwestern Ohio Synod sponsored “Daybreak” at the Kalahari resort in Sandusky.  Our executive director Lisa Arledge, as well as the youth got to share their story and explain what OASIS is and what it means to them.

We also attended an Akron Racer’s game, hung out at the Highland Theater and capped off our Summer at Strickland’s.

Back to School

As the Summer comes to a close many of the youth get ready to go back to school. Some are just starting high school, some are now seniors and some have already graduated. For those that have graduated some have decided to continue their education, others join the military and still others look for jobs or find alternative programs

Noah received a soccer scholarship to Mercyhurst Northeast, a junior college in Pennsylvania. He started school this past week and his soccer team is currently 4-0. Angela started classes at Kent State University and Will started classes at Stark State University. Anthony made a decision years ago that he wanted to join the military. He went off to Army boot camp on August 11th.

Damon and Tyler started at ALTyear  in Toledo, Ohio this past Wednesday where they will learn vital skills for serving God and their community.

These are big changes for some of the youth and at OASIS we teach the youth to rely on God in times of uncertainty or homesickness. These are exciting times as we continue pray for and guide the youth to be dependent on God and independent in the world!
