OCYC: You love skateboarding. WHY?
LM: I love skateboarding because it was a fun toy the first time I rode one- it was on my own pace and I could challenge or give myself an adrenaline rush with out a coach & others relying on me, or a first or last place finish. It gave me a sense of freedom as I adventured out on it finding new places to do it. It gave me a challenge as I tried new things on it. It gave me a group of friends and a belonging as I tried to find my place and acceptance in life.
Skateboarding was really looked down at as I was growing up. If I was around kids at school, grown ups, teachers or at church, I got the looks and feeling of "When are you going to grow up?", "Stop being irresponsible!", or even "How could you be a Christian if you associated with these people?". This all gave me a great sense of "I can't focus on what people think of me".
And slowly I grew up with the sense that only what is pleasing to God ultimately matters. Skateboarding gave me the avenue to have and provide for a family. Most importantly, I love skateboarding because following your dreams and your heart- and the struggle of putting the Lord first is really what life it is all about.

PRAY: Dundee, Scotland - UK Conference
bannerChristian Skaters US will be arriving in Scotland today to encourage skate ministries around the UK & Europe in partnership with Christian Skaters UK at the UK Skate Conference Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

We ask for your prayers for their travels, their family, and that the Lord may use them mightily to encourage and equip others in Europe to reach skaters with the love of Jesus Christ.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
"We were amazed at the response to the event last year, as over 60 leaders from 6 countries involved in skate ministry traveled to the event.  As a group we continue to see God do some amazing things through skate ministry, and we want to continue to envision both young and old in the UK, by seeing what God is doing with skate communities throughout the UK and Ireland. We are excited about the opportunity to hear of what God is doing further afield as well and are expecting leaders again to attend from South Africa, America and mainland Europe. We know God is changing lives through Skate ministry and we want to move forward with this ministry. This is a significant weekend, as part of that vision, a weekend full of praise, worship, fellowship, great speakers and opportunities to use the fantastic skatepark"
