VUELVO A CASA

A VERY BLESSED VISIT

I want to give a big thanks to everyone who was supporting me in prayer this past week while I was in the UK visiting the Calling All Skaters discipleship school.

This is a photo of the team that we were visiting, they are touring around Europe this summer sharing the love of God with skateboarders and serving missionaries with the same heart and desire to bless skate communities.

Our time with the discipleship school was really blessed. In the UK we spent most of our time in Penzance serving with a friend named Andrew. We have known Andrew since 2015 when we held our first CAS discipleship school in Europe, we met him at a big Christian festival where our crew was serving at a skatepark event they set up each year. Andrew is a life long skater and is married with three kinds, he brought his kids to the festival to skate and met the Calling All Skaters guys. He was so inspired through meeting other skateboarders who were passionate about Jesus that he decided to start a local ministry in his community, Penzance UK. Andrew now runs his own skate shop and youth club for skateboarders all with the desire to share Gods love with them and show them what it means to follow Christ. This year we served together at local skateparks sharing our faith with skaters and held the first youth club barbecue. I was very blessed to have the opportunity to chat for a long time with a young skater named Ollie, we talked about his life and I was able to share the gospel with him, he was very receptive and opened. Ollie did not receive Christ that day but I pray and trust that God will continue to grow his faith through Andrew and his ministry. Calling all skaters is planning to keep helping Andrew and if possible send a full time missionary out there to serve and support him. There are many more testimonies of how God is using this outreach team but I will have to save them for later. Please keep praying for this group as they continue on until September, sharing the gospel in Bosnia and Germany.

VUELVO A CASA - COMING HOME

I am very excited to share with you that I will be coming back to New Jersey to visit in less than one week. I will be home from Aug 7th - Sep 5th and am looking forward to reconnecting with my supporters, family and friends. I will be visiting my home church Redeemer NJ, Calvary Presbyterian church and Redeemers new church plant in Point Pleasant. I can't wait to share what the Lord is doing in Europe and see the amazing people that are part of my team. This visit is extra special because I will not be traveling alone, my girlfriend Loida is coming with me. We are both looking forward to this time, for her to meet my family and to see where I grew up and get a lot of quality time together as I show her around my "home". Loida has been such a special part of my life this year and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity together.

God Bless

See you soon!
