Update about Christ Air from Magdelina

Tack för bönerna! Gud hörde! Å det Anna profeterade över mig på Greyhound-stationen besannades, för jag talade på kvällsmötet om intimitet med Jesus. Jag å Carro predikade faktiskt tillsammans! Johan Lenells och Majastina fick från Gud när de bad att jag o hon skulle göra det och när vi pratade om det visade det sig att Gud hade lagt exakt samma sak på våra hjärtan! Vi snackade inte så länge och sedan betjänade vi i förbön. Det var ett jättehärligt möte! Vet inte om nån blev frälst, men säkert 10 pers blev helade under lägret, ett ev brutet revben, flera onda knän, en flera år gammal höftskada och några stukade fötter! Det skulle bli regn varje dag, men det blev det inte. Det spöregnade fram till klockan 14 på lördagen och himlen var helt grå, men Gud hade talat till flera av oss att solen skulle bryta igenom, och vi fick en solig tävling med skön värme, som vanligt. Josiah Gatlyn, Roberto Stefan och en spanjor körde en sjuuuuk demo, den bästa skatingen jag nånsin sett i vår park! :) Antagligen det bästa Christ Air nånsin! :) Gud e så god! (Vi lyssande på din film första mötet och alla blev glada och upplyfta)

More coming in English soon!

Rough Translation: We had such a great time! Josiah, Roberto and two other guys had a raaaaad demo in the skatepark. About 10 ppl got healed during the camp!! (rolled ankles, bad knees, old hip injury etc.) And the atmosphere was that of God and we had soooo much fun!!! :) Sorry I'm not the blogging kind of person and I've been really busy too.... We had such a great time tho! Josiah, Roberto and two other guys had a raaaaad demo in the skatepark. About 10 ppl got healed during the camp!!

Skate Missions in the UK

Malmesbury Abbey
Posted by Danni on 16th May , 2010

Following the success of the first ever skate park held inside Malmesbury Abbey in 2009, the inside of the 12th century former Benedictine abbey was once again transformed into a fully-fledged skate park. People from all over the country traveled down to Wiltshire for the event, which was put on by The Christian Skaters/Surfers UK during the February half term.

I was invited to coach a girls only session at the church over the week and was a judge for the final competition, all very exciting stuff! The girls were all great, really willing to try and learn and everyone had a great time. We also played Rogues’ ‘As If, And What?’ DVD, the whole crowd was stoked!

The event was covered in local newspapers, spreading the word for the need of a local skate park… hopefully something will get done about it soon as there is literally no place to skate nearby, and I was told that the nearest indoor park was in Newport.. Wales! (Which has since been burnt to the ground).

If anyone has any questions about helping out in 2011, or just want more information regarding the event then please don’t hesitate to contact Phil Williams, part of the Christian Skaters group, great guy and always happy to help. Also, don’t forget to check out the Malmesbury Abbey facebook group for more photos/pictures.

A little edit was made of the event, it doesn’t include the girls competition but helps to give an idea of all the work and support that went into making the event possible. Give it a watch if you have a spare 5mins.

And to see how the church was transformed, watch the stop motion below!
