Earlier this week, I was praying with our staff at our church for vision for One Love Skate, and I wasn't sure what all would be going on as this summer is packed for me at PBC with preaching, youth & young adult ministry, family ministry, and youth camp. Plus we're starting AWANA in the fall at PBC, and that makes for a super busy summer.
Sovereignly, the Lord answered my prayers with a call from Jeff at Calvary Chapel South Maui. He asked to set up a conference call for ideas on how to minister to skateboarders in Mexico, and after talking we decided to send their team to Mexico with some t-shirts, stickers, tracts, and a skateboard deck.
They plan to use these resources to build relationships and share Jesus with skaters they come in contact with during their surf and skate ministry mission June 8-17th. It's fun to see God use One Love Skate to help people meet Jesus internationally.
Please keep the Mexico
Mission team in your prayers as they travel to Ensenada, Mexico, next week.
Specific prayer requests:
- Safe travel and uneventful border crossings
- The visit to Carmen Serdan would be an encouragement to the staff and orphans
- The team’s work on the construction projects on the CC Ensenada Bible College campus would be extremely productive
- Visits to the orphanage and shelter in Ensenada would be a blessing to the staff, children and residents
- The Surf and Skate Outreach would attract many people who will hear about and receive Jesus as their Savior.
- Boldness and courage to share the love of Jesus with others
Please pray for them, and please continue to pray for life-change and revival on Maui through One Love Skate. Seek The Most High is going well lately (http://oneloveskateoutreach.blogspot.com/2012/04/seek-most-high.html). I'm also encouraged to hear of people giving away One Love Skate tracts and having conversations about Jesus with people. You can pray for God's timing on when the next One Love Skate Event will be.
One Love (1 John 4:9),

"And I told them of the hand of my God that had been upon me for good, and also of the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, 'Let us rise up and build.' So they strengthened their hands for the good work."
