FacePlant Ministries: NEW SPONSORED FACEPLANT SKATERS

New Sponsored FacePlant Skaters.

It's that time again. We have our newest updated group of skaters sponsored by FacePlant Ministries. The last time we updated the list was about this time last year. These guys have all worked very hard to get to where they are today. All of them (1) Have a personal, hand-holding relationship with Jesus Christ, (2) Have been consistent in comoing to sponsorship meetings and to SkateChurch on Thursdays, as well as go on trips to other skate parks, and (3) Have continued to improve in the skating. That's all it takes, guys. There are a handful of you that I would like to sponsor this winter so keep lovng Jesus and coming out to skate with us. This time around are full-sponsored skaters received two shirts and our flow-sponsored skaters received one shirt. The cool thing is, we have the screen the the shirts were made with, so our hope is, as enough money comes in, to give these guys free FacePlant decks. Congratulations you guys! You've earned it.

Sponsored Skaters Profiles.

I just need to say that i have had the time of my life hanging out with these guys and the others from FacePlant Skate Church over the past three years. I have seen almost all of them come to Christ through FacePlant Ministries and grow in their walk with God as we study the Bible and pray for one another. I have seen them improve so much in their skating. But more importantly, I have made lifelong friends with these guys. The older I get and the more I walk with Jesus, the more I understand how relational God is. Although over 200 young people giving their lives to Christ is something to really celebrate, I am equally excited about all the time I've been able to spend with these guys. Some of our best times have been talking in "O'l Bessy" on the way to skate parks. As my family and I move out of this country to be full-time missionaries in foreign lands, I will never forget these young people who God has brought into my life. I want you all to get to know them as well, instead of just seeing them in videos and such. Here are their profiles:
