YEAR END CELEBRATION OF CHANGED LIVES

YEAR END CELEBRATION OF CHANGED LIVES

I have been going back through all of our Facebook posts over the last year and keeping track of all the skaters who have prayed and given their lives to Jesus. What an amazing journey we have been on at FacePlant SkateChurch not only over this past year, but over the past six years since we first started! Check these stats out and celebrate with us:

.

2006 - 80 first time decisions to follow Christ
2007 - 83 first time decisions to follow Christ
2008 - 58 first time decisions to follow Christ
2009 - 10 first time decisions to follow Christ
2010 - 9 first time decisions to follow Christ
2011 - 39 first time decisions to follow Christ
.

2006 to 2011 - 279 first time decisions to follow Christ

.

I would also like to note that around 50 skaters made a decision to follow Christ this last year at the demo in Siletz, Oregon. We have also seen others come to Christ as we have gone to various skate parks and shared our faith over the years. The statistics above are all from our weekly FacePlant SkateChurch meetings in Vancouver, Washington. We have no idea what this next year has in store for us at FacePlant SkateChurch, but I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has invested into this awesome ministry this past year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

FacePlant Summer Kick-Off with a BBQ at Victor's

FacePlant Summer Kick-Off with a BBQ at Victor's

To kick off the summer, we had a bunch of youth from FacePlant SkateChurch gather last night at Victor's house for a BBQ. Josh was quite the chef, cooking up a bunch of hotdogs. Victor's mom made some fajitas. We had fun just hanging out and chatting. Some of the guys had a little skate sesh, including Josh who bombed the hill near Victor's house (see video below).

.

Hero from Farm Project and Era Skateboards came out as well. We had a chance to talk more about how we can partner together to create a positive and productive environment for youth in the skateboarding community here in the pacific Northwest and beyond. Good stuff. I also want to let you know that I opened a YouTube account under "faceplantministries" where we will be adding new FacePlant videos. I also uploaded and archived a ton of old FacePlant skate videos. Feel free to check it out. You can get to our channel through the video below. Enjoy!
