UNITED STATES 2008 - Team FacePlant Goes to the DOS Demo

Department Of Skateboarding.

A little over a week ago, on Tuesday, May 20th, a bunch of us from Team FacePlant went to a demo held at DOS (Department Of Skateboarding). Department Of Skateboarding is a warehouse in downtown Portland that houses a large indoor skatepark and skate shop. We have filmed on a few occasions at DOS. Recently, they have re-designed the lay-out and flow of ramps and such. And to kick off the opening of the newly re-designed park, they had pro-skaters from Girl and Anti-Hero do a demo. To say the least it was SICK! Watching those guys is just inspiring. The FacePlant guys took some of there own pictures with some of the pro-skaters and I took a few myself. I think my favorite is the picture of Kyle Ponciano and Travis Reeder next to Phil Trotter (who happens to be an outspoken born again Christ-follower). Very soon we will have another Team FacePlant outing and film session at the newly re-designed DOS.

UNITED STATES 2008 - Building More Ramps for Skate Church

BUILDING MORE RAMPS FOR SKATECHURCH.

Last Saturday Caleb, Gage, Jonas and I continued on the construction of a giant fun-box for FacePlant SkateChurch. This thing is going to be SICK when it's all finished. Check out the design above. The portions outlined in red we have already completed. By the time it is done it will have two hips and wedge kickers going up to a long flat box on one side, a hubba with metal coping sandwiched in the middle, and a wedge kicker to long flat box to three-stair w/handrail on the other side. We will continue to build this thing every other weekend or so. If you are interested in helping, make sure to let me know. The great thing about this new fun-box is that it has 16 pieces and can be stored in the SkateChurch trailer and will also be mobile. So if we ever wanted to do a demo, we could take it somewhere else and skate it. My hope is to have it completed by the end of summer. So if you are wondering what your $2.00 fee on Thursday nights goes to, now you know. By the time it is done this fun-box will have costed around $1,600.00. I am praying that God will provide the resources to complete it. Will you join me in praying for this, too? Thanks guys.

UNITED STATES 2008 - More Conversions and Rededications

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)

UNITED STATES 2008 - Two Baptisms, Thirteen Conversions and Six Recommitments

TWO BAPTISMS.

A couple of Sundays ago we had an awesome Sunday morning at Whipple Creek Church where two FacePlant youth were baptized. Brandon Wardle and Andrew Haley both publicly declared their faith in Christ in front of family and friends and identified with Christ symbolically through water baptism. Water baptism symbolizes a dying to the old life and sinful nature, a sort of burial as they are brought under the water, and a resurrection from death to new life in Christ as brand new creations as they come up out of the water. It is a beautiful picture of what Christ has done in our lives when we give ourselves to Him. I am so proud of you two.

THIRTEEN CONVERSIONS.

There has been a lot of new faces at FacePlant SkateChurch on Thursday nights. This is pretty normal for us as friends invite more friends, etc. I am so excited because tonight, as we continue to teach through the gospel of John (we are in John chapter six now), 13 new young people raised their hands and prayed to receive Christ! Praise God! That makes 47 coversions so far in 2008. We saw 83 conversions in 2007 and 80 conversions in 2006. In the last two and a half years, since the beginning of FacePlant Ministries, 210 young people have given their lives to Christ! There has been some major partying going on in heaven.

SIX RECOMMITMENTS.

Along with the first time decisions for Christ, we had 2 recomitments this week and 4 recommitments the week before. Praise the Lord for His Spirit who continues to nudge our young people back toward Himself. I almost hate to use numbers like it is some kind of contest or like these kids are just some number. The truth is, as we read the New Testament, the book of Acts recorded in specific numbers how many were added to the Church as followers of Christ. These kids are precious in the sight of God. We love them and so does Jesus. We continue to rejoice as we see so much fruit from this ministry.

I am so grateful for the godly heritage that I have as my grandparents and great grandparents were missionaries and my parents are both pastors and teachers. I grew up in a loving Christian home in California where many of my friends were from the international community. I finally fully gave my life to Christ at age 19 after years of living like the prodigal son. After Yahweh wrapped His loving Father arms around me upon my return to Him, I immediately responded to His call upon my life as a missionary with a resounding, "Yes! Here I am, Lord! Send me!" For over twenty years now I have ministered both in the U.S. and overseas as a missionary. I am a licensed pastor and ordained missionary who has a huge heart for the nations, and especially for the unreached people groups. I have learned to speak five languages and continue to learn languages still. I also love to sit at the feet of Jesus, worship Him, and lead others in worship, as well as writing original praise and worship music. Operating from a place of complete surrender to the Holy Spirit's leading, pursuing intimacy with God and being filled with His presence and His love is of utmost importance to me. Loving God and loving others is my highest ambition. My journey has been filled with many victories, but has not come without it's share of trials and failures as well. I have three beautiful children. I am thrilled to be a part of His Kingdom and to see His government continue to increase worldwide. I hope you enjoy reading the stories, seeing the pictures, and watching the videos of how Jesus continues to turn the world upside down through His sons and daughters in these last days. We would like to invite you to partner with us and join us in this adventure as we believe God for a great end times harvest of souls!
