S.K.A.T.E. COMPETITION AND BBQAs part of our Grand Opening Week at Whipple Creek Church, we had a parent/student night during what would normally be SkateChurch on Thursday, October 18, 2007. It turned out to be a great night. A lot of parents and students came out and ate some BBQ and enjoyed the S.K.A.T.E.competition. It was great to meet all the parents who came out. And a special thank you to all the volunteers who made the night possible. The S.K.A.T.E. competition was sick!!! We had four brackets and four trophies were awarded to the winners of the finals in each bracket. Here are the results:

SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER RON HEAGY
We had a real treat that night. Special guest speaker, Ron Heagy brought us the message, and let me tell you, HE BROUGHT IT. Ron lost the ability to move his body from the neck down in a surfing accident when he was 17 years old. He has out-lived most others who have been in his position. From his wheelchair he gave an awesome message full of personal stories and God's Word. He had us laughing one minute and crying in the next. The coolest thing is that his invitation for people to accept Christ wasn't a raise of hands, but a tapping of the skateboards to the ground. A total of 15 young people made first-time decisions to receive Christ and many others made redeications. Thank you ROn and family for coming out and being God's instruments. We have now seen 160 young people saved at FacePlant Ministries since January of 2006. Praise the Lord for wll that He has done and is doing.
