Josh & Nicole's 1L Year End Update | December 2016
Click Video Below for a 2016 Update From Josh & Nic:
Aloha One Love Family & Friends,
Thank you for your support of this ministry with your prayers and finances! In 2016, God has provided finances, ramps, skateboards, office space, clothing, stickers, conversation cards, music, and people to rep the One Love of Jesus all over the world! We are so thankful to see #Sightings of His Hand at work this year.
This month, the federal government notified us that our "Arrow-up, Arrow-down, 1L Logo" is officially trademarked to our 501(c)(3), One Love Skate! We are thankful to have exclusive rights to this logo as we explain it's meaning: The 1L logo reminds us of the opportunity we have to receive the One Love of Jesus and be empowered to love God and love people.
We hope to see more skaters saved, baptized, and discipled to be One Love Skate Reps in 2017.
We have seen this happen in 2016, and nothing is more exciting to us than being able to help resource and equip people to do the ministry of One Love Skate in their communities!
If you can connect us with potential skate ministers in your community, please do!
This is a picture from our instagram with some Discipleship Guides that we printed out. Ministries can also print out these guides themselves via the link on our Leader Training of OneLoveSkate.org.
We hope to see many youth groups and One Love Skate Reps use this curriculum for discipleship of all types of people--including skaters.
Feel free to share this "Intro 1L Core Values" video link below, and ask people to contact us if they are interested in utilizing this 1L discipleship process.
So thankful for the different ministers who are a part of these 10 Core Values videos for our Leader Training including VanMichael Komatsu, Jay Wright, Neil Perry, Jonathan Glisson, Spencer Kim, Auburn Flores, Mark Langford, Sam Peralta, Kenny Hall, Nick Tanaka, & Kaipo Thomas.
Thanks for all the ways you help support this ministry!
If you watched our Update Video, you saw that we hope to raise another $2500 by the end of 2016 to finish the year fully-funded. If you are interested in making a tax-deductible contribution and helping us reach our goal, you can use the button below to give or send a check in the mail: One Love Skate, PO Box 880988, Pukalani, HI 96788.
Please contact us if you would like more info about being on our monthly support team with your prayers and/or finances. Going in to 2017, we are at 80% of our monthly support with regular support from many individuals as well as the ministries of Hope Community Church, Putnam Baptist Church, Element Church, and the Maui County Baptist Association.
We are so thankful for all the ways God has worked and is continuing to work through One Love Skate, and we praise God for the joy He provides as we follow Him in this full-time calling. In about the middle of 2016, we started updating "Specific Prayer Requests" on Mondays with 3 prayer requests, and if you would like the password to support us with prayers in 2017, just ask! Thanks!
Live One Love (1 John 4:9),
Josh, Nicole, Caleb, Paul, & Silas
