Skate Church

Skate Church? As most of you know, we are NOT big skateboarders. But we have had the opportunity to be around a great group of kids who are. Sk8fusion meets at Jenks First Baptist Church every Monday night. Kids come, they skate, they hang out, they eat way too much sugar, and they hear the truth about Christ. We volunteer there 2-3 Monday nights a month with crowd control and concessions. We have watched in amazement as God speaks to these students right where they are, using the mediums that mean the most to them. One Monday night, 5 new believers were baptized. In front of their peers, they took a clear stand for their faith. As each one went down into the water and came back up, the auditorium burst into cheers! The Lord is blessing this ministry... He is so Faithful. Pray that God continues to reach out through this ministry and that it will not be hindered in any way. Pray for more volunteers.

So many people need to know that God meets them where they are, speaks their language, listens to their music... but mostly, that He loves them. Sk8fusion is just another reminder that the Lord wants to reach the HEARTS of His people, and He will go to whatever lengths it takes. Praise Him!
