UNITED STATES 2008 - Loose Change for Change

LOOSE CHANGE FOR CHANGE.
Over the past couple of weeks we have been having a bit of a contest at FacePlant SkateChurch. In fact, Whipple Creek Church has been having a bit of a contest between many of the different ministries. The contest is to see which ministry can fill a big (empty) water jug with the most change (quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies). All change that is put into these jugs goes to planting churches here and around the world. So at SkateChurch, we had a contest to see who could bring in the most change. The first week our first place winner was Cho Nas Chung, who brought in almost $44.00 in change and won a complete Almost skateboard. Our second place winner was Phil O'Harris, who brought in around $43.00 in change and won a custom painted skate helmet that Tyler Peebles painted at the body shop where he works. Third place went to Kyle Ponciano, who brought in nearly $29.00 in change and won a set of Spitfire wheels. We also had a little contest yesterday where Cody Bell won first place bringing in close to $14.00 in change winning a FacePlant sweatshirt. Chris Perez won second place brining in around $5.00 in change winning a FacePlant beanie. And Victor Marquay won third place bringing in about $4.00 in change, also winning a FacePlant beanie. Many other people brought in change as well and got stickers for prizes. It's been a fun way to help spread the gospel worldwide. I am sure over the last couple of weeks that FacePlant Ministries has brought in over $150.00 in loose change! Great stuff guys!

CHANGED LIVES AT SKATE CHURCH.
Speaking of change, we have seen more changed lives at FacePlant SkateChurch over the past month. I know of at least one young person who, for the first time has given their life to Chirst. We have also had another 7 or 8 young people pray with FacePlant staff members for help in their walk with God, rededicating their life to Him. That makes 52 first time decisions to receive Christ since the beginning of the year and 215 since FacePlant Ministries first began. Thanks God for this outreach to the skateboarding community here in Hazel Dell.
