STEPHEN BALDWIN
If you've channel surfed lately or taken a trip to the neighborhood movie rental store, chances are you've seen Stephen Baldwin. It's kind of hard to miss a guy who's starred in over 40 movies and appeared in over 35 television series and specials.
In 2004, Baldwin partnered with Kevin Palau of Livin It Productions to create the top-selling DVD Livin It featuring an impressive group of skaters and BMX riders.
Baldwin's passion for skating is trumped only by a dedication to his wife and two daughters and an even bigger purpose for his life. The native New Yorker has something important to say and he desperately wants the whole world to hear it.

CHRISTIAN HOSOI
Known around the world as a Skateboarding legend, Hosoi's story has been documented in Sports Illustrated, Thrasher Magazine, and countless other media. With a cameo appearance in Warner Bros. "Lords of Dogtown" and on the Quicksilver Team, Hosoi continues to be one of the most enigmatic characters in the sport. Christian's testimony is sure to inspire you and show you how the Lord can use your life too.
RICHARD MULDER
Richard started skating at age 10. By age 15, he had everything he had ever dreamed of. He was a sponsored skater, traveled & got paid. Still he knew he was missing something. "Now skateboarding is not my number one passion. The Lord is. I'm not a skateboarder first; I'm a Christian first and then a skateboarder. God still has me in a place where I can skateboard and enjoy the things I like. But it's not for myself no more."

LARRY BUXTON
Skate Pastor Larry Buxton shares his passion for Jesus Christ weekly at SK8FUSION, a skate board ministry that's geared to area youth. Volunteers set up a portable skate park each week creating a gnarly skate session followed by the sharing of the Word to a sweaty crowd of skaters, onlookers, and friends. Larry's become a pro at ratcheting down the ping pong'd excitement of the animated students and bring the gathered youth into keen focus on Jesus and reflection on themselves. Many get saved; many get immersed in baptism followed by cheers and applause. "That's why I'm here. This isn't what my life's all about, this is my life."
Larry is on staff at First Baptist Church, Jenks, Oklahoma as Associate Pastor of Skate Church. He has been leading the skate ministry here for six years.
"If God can use me, He can use anybody."

The Lord has knit this event together from day one. It has been humbling to see how the Lord has put this event together and made it apparent that it was not of us. This conference is about serving him and creating a body to do this. You can expect to learn from the ones that he has worked through in skate ministry from the park builders, to those who run skatepark ministries, to those who outreach through media & demos, to those gifted in he business side of things. You will hear testimonies of how the Lord used ordinary people to do extraordinary things.You will meet others with a heart to reach skaters and their culture. You will be able to ask questions, bring up challenges and learn from the experiences of others. You will have an amazing chance to be part of a one night outreach where the Lord will use us all to touch hears for Him.
