OLSO Update

What's up everyone?
     Some new ways God is working through One Love Skate Outreach lately: Gospel Presentations, ambassador encouragement (2 Cor 5:20), One Love tract coming soon.

Gospel Presentations

     OLSO has been encouraging Christians to post their testimonies and their unique presentations of the Gospel on Youtube for the world to see. Naomi Kaneshiro, my wife's best friend and a Journeyman missionary to the Philippine's through the International Mission Board, recorded her testimony and Gospel Presentation yesterday for us from the Philippines. Here it is:

Gary Hamrick, Pastor of Evangelism and Student Ministries at Valley Isle Fellowship, also shared his testimony briefly along with a unique way of presenting the Gospel.

Ambassador Encouragement

     As Christians, we are all Christ's ambassadors on this earth. 2 Corinthians 5:20-"We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us..." One Love Skate Outreach exists to encourage people to be Jesus' ambassadors in everything they do---skating, surfing, business, internet, EVERYTHING... You and I are Christ's ambassadors, and we need to be faithful to fulfill this calling. REP THE KING!

     Friday, May 14, I had the opportunity to skate at Keopuolani skatepark with Nakoa, a semi-pro surfer. We got to pray together and had a fun little skate session. It was a furlough day, so we played "skate" with some kids that were there because they didn't have school. The best part of the day was that it was a good opportunity to meet with Nakoa and talk about ways he wants to share his faith more through his surfing. It was a good opportunity to hang out, and I'm excited about the ways that Nakoa is going to be a part of OLSO. Here's a little clip of Nakoa doing a little air off one of the ramps:

Pray that OLSO will continue to encourage, train, and equip people to be Jesus' ambassadors--REPresenting THE KING by living and proclaiming the Gospel (2 Cor 5:20).

One Love Tract

     Please be in prayer for us as we seek to develop a solid One Love tract that we can distribute as we do Gospel Interviews and events this summer. I met w/Brad Martin, a surfer/carpenter/missionary who loves Jesus, at Ho'okipa on Monday and we sketched out some ideas. Please keep praying that we will have wisdom in writing this tract. Hopefully, you guys will be seeing it soon, and it will be a relevant piece of literature that God will use to bring many people to saving relationships with Jesus Christ.

     Lastly, We ordered 300 ESV New Testaments that we'll be giving to people who we get to witness to, and we're in the process of trying to get an OLSO banner and some stickers. Thanks for reading this blog and staying updated with OLSO! "Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord" (Rom 12:9). Pray for revival on Maui, and please keep praying for One Love Skate Outreach. If you're interested in being a part, e-mail me and let me know.

Grace and Peace to the 1-1 SIX!
