The Mesquite Friendship Baptist Church (MFBC) Striders is an Evangelistic Ministry of MFBC.  Formed 13 years ago, the Striders ministry has reached out to thousands of young people between the ages of 5-18. This ministry is open to youth throughout the Dallas Metroplex.  As a result, several new families have joined MFBC and accepted Jesus as their personal Savior.  This year, the Striders had 69 competitors from Mesquite & surrounding cities to compete in the AAU Junior Olympics Track and Field.  As a track team, the young runners performed well in 2010.  All 69 youth participated in the Southwestern Division trials,  69 advanced to the regional track meet and 15 advanced to the National Junior Olympics in Norfork virginia . One of our  youth received  a metal placing 6th in 100 meters (Tuffie Travon Carter). And our Senior boys relay team placed 6th. You can contact Coach Gary Dawson at daws1@att.net
