Points of Light Leading Oakland Kids Youth to Jesus WHY DOESPOINTS OF LIGHTEXIST. There are over 500 churches in Oakland yet none have a fulltime youth leader dedicated to mentoring and guiding young people. As a result many innercity kids and youth are left vulnerable to negative influences. Its no surprise that local news is filled with stories of atrisk youth engaging in crime.
