I just wanted to give you all a quick status update about the construction of the building that we will be using for the Extreme Sports Ministry. We have spent the last week getting the ground smoothed out and ready for pouring the floor, including the removal of excess dirt, rocks, roots etc. One of the local skaters helped me shovel dirt and God allowed me the opportunity to mentor him about his current circumstances. He’s really searching and I know its only a matter of time before he realizes that the Lord is capable of fixing his messed up life, just exactly like he did for me in years past.

The actual floor pouring will be done after the metal roofing is in place. Currently, the huge, metal support structures are being fabricated offsite and will hopefully be ready to install sometime next week. Until then, we’re just waiting; which is the toughest part for me. I am definitely ready to get back to the busy routine of holding regular skates sessions and our weekly Bible study for Skaters. We are also hoping to use the building as a youth center where the locals can come hangout, play games or shoot pool, and learn more about God. We don’t have a pool table or video games yet, but we believe that God will open those doors when the timing is right.

Thanks so much for those of you who are keeping this project lifted up in prayer!
