Hello everybody! I hope that everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season! We sure are! God is doing some amazing things here at Skate Church. For us, when it’s warmer outside we do a lot of demos and trips with our kids from Skate Church, and that is always super fun. Over this year God has done a lot of radical things in and through our lives! Just to name a few: we did 25 demos, 15 trips with our kids in the skate bus, baptized 15 of them at Skate Church, preached the gospel to thousands, and hundreds responded to the message and asked Jesus to save them. We are also currently discipling 50 to 60 radical skateboard shredders for Christ!

At this time of the year when it gets too frigid to skate outside we get over 100 kids every week at Skate Church for our Friday night service and skate session. A lot of them would not usually come to a church, but they come and hear God’s word through Skate Ministry! It’s truly amazing! Just last month, we had 150 skaters show up on a Friday night. They heard me preach a message from 1 Tim 4:12 where it says to let no one despise your youth but be an example to the believers in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity.  Everyone’s attention was fixed on hearing the word, and many people were moved as I led them all through the sinner’s prayer. Because we are allowing a free place for these youth to skate on a Friday night, they are connecting with God instead of going out and getting into destructive behaviors like drugs, alcohol, partying, crime, and sexual sins. They are able to come to a warm, rad, God-loving place where they get to skate with their friends while being a part of a church service with an intense message and musical worship before and after the service. Then these youth are able to skate for an additional 2 hours after the service for FREE! What a powerful opportunity we have to keep kids off the street and to teach and train them how to become skateboard disciples!

The Bible says that God’s word does not return to him void but does its work in people’s hearts, that it is sharper than any double-edged sword piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, bone and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart! (Heb. 4:12) These kids are listening with their full attention and are hearing the very words of God! Our kids are not your church-going type; these are gnarly rippers from the abyss, But they are being touched by the Holy Spirit! At least 25 have met Jesus just in the last month!! Only God can do that, but he is using me in a crazy and unconventional way!

Recently God has been putting on my heart that I am a skateboard apostle. I am to follow Paul’s example to go and preach to a certain place, start a church there, and then set leaders in place to continue what I started and move on to another skate church, and another, and then go worldwide! I believe God has a huge heart for skateboarders and the people within the skate culture. For God chooses the foolish things of the world, the weak things and the things that are not to nullify the things that are. (Cor 1:27) God calls the things that are not as though they were. (Romans 4:17) I want to invite you to believe with me for skateboard evangelists, and skateboard preachers, and skateboard apostles, and skateboard churches. Will you join with me in this gnarly work of bringing the gospel to our skateboard youth and training them up to shred and spread the word of the living God? For all this rad stuff to happen it takes money and supernatural provision, and lots of PRAYER! We do take up an offering every week at Skate Church, but most of these guys don’t have the means to contribute enough to see this ministry grow into all that God has for it. Would you partner with me in this mission? I want to ask you to please pray about supporting us monthly for this next year in order to see the Lord move mightily in our midst. I would like to invite you to come on board with this community of skateboard shredders for Christ!  You can partner with us to do just as Jesus said: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I command you. (Matt 28:19)

There are two ways for you to partner with us financially. If you’d like to give a one-time gift, you can do that online at www.worshipandtheword.com (designate your gift for Uriel Luebcke). To set up monthly giving, please call Joanna at 303-655-1234.

In addition to our regular Skate Church meetings, we have the opportunity over this next year to go to several other states as well as multiple nations including Brazil, Mexico, and Costa Rica. As we go, you will continue to be a part of this adventure! God Bless and thank you so much for all of your love and support! We truly couldn’t continue to do this thing without you!

- Uriel

A psalm[a] of David.
1 Oh, what joy for those
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sin is put out of sight!
2 Yes, what joy for those
whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt,[b]
whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
3 When I refused to confess my sin,
my body wasted away,
and I groaned all day long.
4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.
My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.
Interlude

5 Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.”
And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.
Interlude

6 Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time,
that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.
7 For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory.
Interlude

8 The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.
9 Do not be like a senseless horse or mule
that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”

10 Many sorrows come to the wicked,
but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the Lord.
11 So rejoice in the Lord and be glad, all you who obey him!
Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!
