Update on Elijah Moore

We've had the pleasure of hanging with pro-skater Elijah Moore several times over the year. In fact, he was one of the skaters who joined us in Rwanda this past summer. But, several weeks after the teams return to the US, Elijah's life changed in ways none of us could ever imagine.

Watch his story here

It takes a test to have a testimony

So, it's been an interesting year so far, we had skate missions plans of our own but the Lord had another plan. I read this awesome quote from Matin Luther King today that said, "I have held many things in my hands and lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hand I still possess."

You may not know this, but the president of CS was born in Argentina. Although he was raised in the US since an infant, he is an Argentine citizen. In his early 20s, he was living for himself and not the Lord. He found himself in trouble for possession of marijuana. However, soon his life was about to change in ways he never expected.

He walked into a local skate park one night, and stumbled upon not skate, but a Bible study. It was that night that he began a true relationship with the Lord.

He began serving at the park as a volunteer. Right after the 9/11 attacks, business began to decline and keeping the doors of the park open get increasingly more difficult. A local church then asked the owners to consider moving the park to a property the church owned. It was then that he was asked to come on staff.

Passionate about how the Lord used a skate ministry to change his life, he and a few others set on an adventure to begin a ministry that purposed to help others reach skaters too. Thus, Christian Skaters was born.

But, we know our sin has consequences. So, fast forward 13 years after his arrest....He begins traveling a ton doing Skate Missions with pro and am skaters and ministries. Last summer he visited over 6 countries in 3 months. He was flagged on a trip back from Sweden and now has received a notice of a deportation hearing. His case is strong, but it is in the Lord's hands. So we ask for your prayers that the Lord gives him grace and that his testimony of the change in his life may lead judges, lawyers, and all involved to a closer relationship with their creator. Please join us in praying.

We see this as a unique opportunity to raise up willing leaders and teams to go were he can not right now. For we know that the Lord's plan may not be our own but it is ALWAYS better!

What happened in Panama

What Happened:
Update from Jud Heald "I was in Miami and had to go get a new passport. I was there early with Uli from Cristain skaters. Got the passport walked out psyked and then noticed Uli´s window was broke out and all my luggedge stolen! Laptop, video camera, camera, shoes, clothes and ramdon other stuff that I will have to replace. They can´t steal ...my joy in the Lord though! They left my board and we have already seen slavations here in Panama."

Update from Zac Archuleta, "The MOVEMIENTO event in Panama City was amazing. There were probably
500+ people at the event. We skated threw out product and shared the
gospel. There were about 100 skaters that full on gave there lives to
Jesus, handed out about 150 bibles, and 300 gospels of John. AMAZING!! Read more & see photos here..."

Pray for Jud & Jared now on their way to Ecuador. Jud's luggage was never found but the Lord is using them in mighty ways!

Satan never wins

The Begining
Urgent Prayer Request
Last night we get a call from Untitled Skateboards founder/pro Jud Heald. He was on his way to Panama for The Movement http://www.movimientopanama.com/

He arrived in Miami on a connection and was unable to travel as he had less than 4 months on his passport (new law). He will only be in Panama for a week then plans to head over to Ecuador for the outreach there.

So, he was stuck in Miami. By God's grace he got in touch with us and we were able to get him into the passport place in Miami to renew his passport today. While inside, someone smashed Uli's back window and grabbed all Jud's luggage including his video camera, laptop, etc.

They are presently in Miami writing up the police report while praying that Jud get's his passport in time for the 7pm flight tonight for tomorrows event. So, now all he has is his wallet and his skateboard...and faith in the one who provides.

All in all, this trip is costing 1,000s more than expected. God must have something BIG planned for these two trips. Be praying for a miracle. Untitled really need the camera & laptop for the ministry. Jud had no clothes but the ones he is wearing for the next three weeks. The window in our Subaru is gone and costs a ton due to the heat sensors in it. It stinks, but God takes the bad and uses it for good. So we ask for prayers for this person that broke into the car, prayers for Jud and Uli - that you help them not to lose hope, for Jud's passport renewal to go smoothly and quickly, for Jud's family as he travels and for those that God has been preparing to hear. We also pray that by some miracle that his luggage and other items are recovered and the Lord provides a way for us to replace that window. We thank the Lord for Jud, Untitled and what the guys at The Movement are doing. They are awesome men of God. May He protect them and use each of them in mighty way.

In all this, I am confident that the Lord is going to do HUGE things in these two countries. So, join us in pray....let's witness a miracle happen.
