BLOG
Enoch Magazine, Christian Skaters, and a few other slightly crazy guys, will be heading to Skid Row, L.A. this weekend. Skid Row is a 50 square block areathat is home to the most homeless in the US. In the shadows of skyscrapers and some of the "richest" areas in the US, Skid Row is home to over 11,000. "Even among the L.A.'s homeless, Skid Row is a bad address. The fortunate among them stay in missions or emergency shelters or
subsidized hotels. The rest -- an estimated 4,000 -- live on the
street. All night, fires burn at the curb, surrounded by ghostly
gatherings of men who wander about or sleep on sidewalks that,
according to a recent city study, have up to 30 times the bacterial
contamination of raw sewage. When morning comes and the street sweepers
clean the gutters, they are sometimes followed by vacuum trucks, lest
the runoff contaminate the storm drains." It's a place few are brave enough to enter, but this team is determined to walk alongside these people whom God loves. They are going to simply be used in any way the Lord sees fit. Watch and hear through their eyes on their daily blog starting this Saturday at EnochMagazine.com |

BIBLE BASICS:Miracle
 A miracle is a great event that can only happen with God's help. A miracle serves as a special sign that shows the capacity of God's power. Miracles often overcome natural laws in order to show God's true glory. There are many miracles mentioned in the Bible: Joshua 10:12-13, Luke 1:35, John 11:38-44, and numerous others. It's simply when the impossible happens. Miracles still happen today.
It's when doctors have given up on a sick child and for no scientific reason, that child gets well.
It's when you're down to your last dollar, have piles of bills to be
paid, and a check arrives in the mail from some unknown source.
It's when you've prayed for a specific purpose and that prayer is answered.
It's when there is no earthly reason something wonderful has happened.
Miracles take place everyday. Sometimes they're very subtle and
quiet.

Get Involved: Life Over Death Skatepark
Johnstown, PA
|
 Life Over Death Skatepark was one of our first official chapters. Located in Johnstown, PA, Josh & Ryan have been faithfully running this skate ministry in a donated warehouse.
The warehouse is run down, but Josh & Ryan have made this home to a ministry that has impacted so many youth in the area. "Kids have come to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, and we have actually witnessed the change in their lives!!!", says Ryan. "Praise God for allowing us to be involved in this ministry for this long. I can only praise God for His direction, and His sovereignty, throughout this mission. Not one day has gone by that I do not thank Him for all the great things he has done.
Having the opportunity to see kids turn to Christ, and watching, them spread the good news to their friends has been an irreplaceable joy in my life."
We encourage you to pray for this amazing ministry. If you live in the area, contact Ryan and get involved.
