We are now Averaging 90 youth every Saturday!!!

We started out skating every Saturday back in September 2010 because of the please of a sweet young man nick-named Chino. At the time of his request we did not have a place to skate until a dear man volunteered his mechanic shop for us to use for free. We skated and shared God in the midst of vehicles and went from 8 youth to 30 in a matter of 3 months.


We had outgrown that location and during Christmas break our Pastor Mike offered his to-be-constructed-church-location for us to use until construction is to begin. We are there now and are averaging 90 youth per Saturday and are in awe of God and this exponential growth.


This past week, church construction started for Pastor Mike's church and we find ourselves in need of a new location once again. To make matters more exciting we had until March 3 to have a new location lined up in order for a group of professional ramp builders to commit to a short term mission trip in June to build our skate park with us. We were all expecting God to do something to meet the need and of course He did not disappoint us. (Thank you all who have been agreeing with us in prayer.) Yesterday, Shawn had a meeting with the mayor of Xela and city counsel and they all voted unanimously to donate the use of a building for our skate park. This is such a huge gift and we only now need to know how long we are able to use the facility. We are believing for five years minimum. We ask for your prayer of agreement and God's will to be done. We do need to renovate such as clean, paint, replace doors, put in electrical, repair the roof and bathroom, etc. Please prayerfully consider financially supporting this project so that we will have a place to minister to and disciple these youth. We are thrilled to be a part of how God is drawing these young people to Him. Please be apart of this with us.

  1. I am so sorry about this blog being scrunched together. Something is wrong and I don't know how to fix it. :o(
