FacePlant Represent in Radomsko, Poland

GREETINGS FROM POLAND
What's up fellas? I miss shredding with you guys, and I pray for you all the time. I hope that you are all staying so close to Jesus. I can't believe I remembered the password to sign in to this new FacePlant Ministries blog. Anyway, wanted to drop you a line to let you know I bought a new Mini-Logo complete in Krakow a couple of weeks ago, and have able to do some outreach at local skateparks here in Poland. The first one I have hit up is in a city called, "Radomsko." It is about 40 minutes south of where I live, but I often minister at a church in that city. The locals there are all very chill and I have already made a lot of friends there. I have also put together a short video of the locals ripping it up in their city. There's even a part at the end of the video with me skating. It's like the first time I've skated for six months because I didn't have a board. Anyway, enjoy the video. I thought you would like to know I am spreading the Word of God and shredding all around the world. Peace my brothers.

Taking The Mantle

God has done some pretty amazing things in my life in this last year. I quit the music touring lifestyle, right as things started to take off, because I felt God had a different direction for my life even though I wasn't sure what that was yet.  

On my off time of touring, I would hold a sort of "band church" at my house on wednesday afternoons. It was just for people involved in the music industry of the NorthWest to be able to connect with other believers in the scene because it seemed hard to be encouraged in your faith in this industry. That is when my good friend Andrew Young (youth pastor at Whipple Creek) started telling me about Christian Jung and the help that was needed at Whipple with worship and skate church. I checked it out, loved it, instantly felt connected and instantly started getting involved. Skate Church in Portland was such a huge part of bringing me up in my young faith, I was super excited to get involved with FacePlant. 

The kids are awesome, the church is in full support and I couldn't be happier that I trusted God to take this new direction with my life. I also feel super blessed to have met Christian and his family because they are amazing people. Simply being around Christian can make you feel uplifted, humbled and want to be a better person. Being around his heart in the last 6 months has really done a work in my life. This is one of the many things that he is doing in and through me and I am feeling super blessed to be a part of his work and this ministry. We love you Christian, we will miss you terribly!

Passing The Mantle

Passing The Mantle.

In the Old Testament we read about some pretty cool people. Two of those people were Elijah and Elisha. Both of them were prophets of God. Elijah was a man of God who performed many miracles and shared God's message with people. When Elijah's time was up, it was time to find someone to take his place in ministry. His replacement's name was Elisha. Elisha asked for a double portion of the anointing that God had upon Elijah's life that empowered him to do many miracles and tell many people God's message. Elijah was actually taken up to heaven without dying. When he was taken up, Elijah's mantle fell off of him. Elisha picked up Elijah's mantle and received a double portion of the anointing that was on Elijah's life.

.

I have been blessed to be the person who happened to be in the right place at the right time to spearhead FacePlant Ministries. I have been the SkateChurch Pastor for the last three years. We have seen God do many miraculous things at FacePlant Ministries. We've seen over 200 young people give their lives to Jesus Christ and ask Him into their lives. We have seen miraculous healings when we have prayed for the sick. We have seen many skaters even receive gifts of the Holy Spirit. More recently, we have seen our sponsored skaters leading their peers in prayer to receive Jesus Christ. We've been on many road trips to many skateparks in Ol' Bessy. We've seen many Taco Bell hot sauce on car handle incidents, along with other crazy practical jokes I won't mention. We've had good times and not so good times. But overall, we've had the time of our life.

.

I am passing on the mantle to my good friend, Aiden Franklin, as my family and I are leaving to be full-time missionaries in Poland and then in Africa. I pray for a double portion of what God has done at FacePlant Ministries over the past few years to be upon Aiden. I pray that our sponsored skaters and other skaters from SkateChurch will blaze new trails in the Kingdom of God. I pray that someday, we will be able to meet up again, when we return to visit after a few years. If not, I look forward to meeting around the throne of God someday in heaven. I feel so blessed and so unworthy to have been a part of something so great. I love you guys and will never forget you. My last Sunday will be this Sunday, January 18th. I would love for you guys to come to our church service at Whipple Creek Church this Sunday from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm to say goodbye. We are going to have cake, too. Plus you will get to see my cry like a baby as I say goodbye to you. If you have ever been a part of FacePlant Ministries in any way, we would love to have you out. I know that the message of Jesus Christ has impacted many of your lives and I know that what He has done in your lives is going to be a great foundation for which you will build the rest of your lives upon.

Your friend forever,

Christian Jung
