INSPIRATION: 1 Timothy 4:12
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an
example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in
purity"
Our friend, BMX rider John Andrus, recently was in Wisconsin were he met this team of you skaters. He was so impressed by their boldness that he made this video for them. I wish I was there at their age! (Click the image to see the video)

 WATCH: Foolishness
Keep your eyes out for FOOLISHNESS, an upcoming video from Skate Bible. Brian Sumner explains, "It's the straight forward Gospel presented by many Christian Skaters out there with original music by Josh Harmony and others." This is a video with amazing skate and incredible faith wrapped up into one. Don't expect any watered down version with this video. If you are interested in carrying this video (expected to be released by mid-October) or would be interested in helping us spread the word about this video, please email us. We hope to get a copy of this video in the hands of every skater around the world. All proceed will go to helping continue skate ministry around the globe.

MISSIONS: A Recap
Skate Missions opportunities have been non-stop this summer and it has been amazing to partner with all of you to reach so many around the globe.
Our first stop was Sweden for an amazing camp called Christ Air. It was a true blessing to encourage the youth in this area to live for the Lord with Element pro Chad Tim Tim.
Next stop was Liberia with Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale. In Liberia, the guys were able to introduce the youth to their first skateboards. They plan to head back soon to build some ramps.
Next was Rwanda with Andrew Palau, Stunt Dudes and pros Elijah Moore & Zac Archuleta. They performed to tens of thousands and were blessed to be part of an incredible harvest. We were also able to leave behind a park to start the first skatepark and skate ministry in Rwanda. Pray for this continued relationship. We can not wait to see how the Lord uses this new ministry.
Meanwhile, Josh Harmony & Brian Sumner headed off to the Cayman Islands for a second time in partnership with Christian Skaters to share the Gospel at Black Pearl. The Lord used them in HUGE ways.
 Then, it was off to the UK for Creationfest. The small town in Cornwall was impacted by the team and pro skate Zac Archuleta. The UK trip was an incredible time to share the love of Christ with youth who seldom hear the gospel. Many gave their lives to the Lord. (Click on Zac's image to see a video by a local UK magazine).
Finally it was off to the Surf Expo in Orlando, Florida to be a bright light to the industry. What Next?
Guatemala
A lot has been happening in Guatemala. Our team departed Monday for Coban, Guatemala to build ramps for a new skate ministry with In His Steps International. Keep them in your prayers and check for updates at SkateMissions.com. Just a few weeks ago, John Andrus from the StuntDudes, and KKSM's Elijah Moore and Mason Cornwell went to Guatemala for a week to partner with the Reid Saunders Association to spread the Good News. They built some ramps there and did four days of steet demos. Hundreds of villagers from the mountainous area came out each day and were excited about seeing the ramps get shredded. Many peoples hearts were softened when the message of Jesus Christ was proclaimed! |
 ABOUT:
Boarders for ChristBoarders for Christ is a skate and snowboard ministry featuring professional and amateur riders based out of the West Coast that has been bringing creative demos and outreaches to communities across the United States since 1997. This Summer, BFC launches their Good Tour which will be heading from West Coast to East Coast and back with four boarders and their traveling skate park.
"Just the name of the tour being The Good Tour, really at a time like this, its like we're always seeing the bad in the world. When we go to a demo in a community and they hear about The Good Tour, we're just preaching that God is good and its something people need to know and need to hear right now." - Zach Black, BFC Member

 GROW:Created to Skate?
I have always been drawn to skateboarding. Was it the rebellion, the freedom, ... or simply the creativity? As an individual sport, you are free to be as expresive as you want when you skate. Look around and you will see the need the world seems to have to 'fit in'. For me, skaters never seemed to be a group that 'fit in'. Maybe that's the draw.
The Lord made us each different down to the prints on our fingers. He didn't make us to 'fit in' but instead to stand out for Him.... each with unique gifts, circumstances, testimonies, etc. So, rejoice in the perfect creation that the Lord made in you and be confident in the fact that He has a unique but incredible plan for your life. "For
I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
