MORE COVERSIONS AND REDEDICATIONS.
Well, another month has flown by here at FacePlant SkateChurch. We have recently put out two SkateChurch videos. Please check them out on previous web-log entries. These young people continue to blow me away with how much they continue to improve in their skating. Something else that blows my mind is that we really don't do any huge advertisements or promotional stuff for FacePlant SkateChurch, yet by word of mouth we continue to always have new young people come out every Thursday. There is often a fluctuation of attendance at FacePlant SkateChurch. Some Thursdays we may have 30 kids, other Thursdays we will have 100 kids. There really seems to be no rhyme or reason. But I think there is. I believe that our God knows who needs to be there on what Thursday night to hear the specific message that God wants those present to hear. This is obvious to me as Russ and I have been praying with those who want to receive Christ. On those nights that we pray with those who want to give their lives to Christ, It is like God was speaking directly to their situation. And all we are doing is teaching verse by verse through the gospel of John. Obviously we teach it in a way that these young people can understand it, using funny illustrations - like when I had two of the guys eat as many Saltine crackers as they could while I slowly drank a bottle of water before their eyes to illustrate what Jesus said in John 6:35, "And he who believes in me will never thirst." But to be honest, we just share the truth of the gospel on Thursday nights and young people continue to come into a relationship with Him. Over this past month we have seen 4 more young people make first time decisions to follow Christ and at least 20 more rededicate their lives to Christ. 51 young people have made first time decisions to follow Christ since the beginning of this year and 214 since we started FacePlant Ministries almost 2 1/2 years ago!!! As long as lives continue to be changed, we will continue to exist as FacePlant Ministries. If there ever comes a time when lives stop being changed and people aren't being connected to Jesus Christ, we will call it quits. Until then: Skate for Christ. Live for Christ. "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31)
