another Asia story!

Hi friends,

I keep these stories short because I really want you to read them, remember them, be encouraged by them, and share them with others!

Seven of us are in a city with a million people for eight hours in a place where sharing the Good News is not allowed. Can we really reach out? Can we really have an impact here?

We spent one day in Bai Se on the way back from KM to NN. Out of the million people who live there, 20 of them are skaters and we spent the day with almost all of them. They were super excited because we were the first skate team to come through their city!
After a full day of skating with all the guys, we all sat Down to a big dinner together. At the dinner table, Jesse was able to share with all of them full-on about Jesus and even pray with them!

We serve such a creative God. Because of our skateboards we were able to connect with that whole group of youth and reach a certain depth with them that would normally take months to achieve.

Funny thing; we ended up on the cover story of the newspaper the following day, with a big picture of Jesse doing this crazy trick down some stairs with over a hundred people gathered in the streets watching.

The best part about that one day trip is that our friends who are in the country long term are only a three hour train ride from Bai Se, which means they can take little trips up there regularly to check in and keep pouring into the guys there.

Glory to Him!

Be looking forward to a couple more stories from the other cities we spent time in.

Thank you and God bless,

Shaun
