What gets me pumped: Christian communal living

Quick testimony: I grew up in the Caribbean and I've heard about Jesus all my life. I wasn't that bad of a kid. Yea, I stole some stuff and fought a lot, but nothing that would put me in jail right? Nah! My anger and rebellion had offended my Creator and for that I was eternally doomed to be separated from Him. I found out something really cool though; Jesus had died for my sins. I didn't have to pay for what I've done. I was about 5 when I confessed my sins before God (and my mom). Ever since then it's been a crazy adventure.

God made me super competitive and I really wanted to be the best at something. I always thought that the military would be a great route to go, but in 2005 God directed me to study at Moody Bible Institute. There I realized that it is far easier to take someone's physical life than to show them true eternal life in Jesus. It is only recently that I have realized why God has given me the drive and aggression (and love!) that I have: and that's to bring Jesus to those in rebellion against God.

I use skate, surf, and soccer to get into the culture and engage individuals. It is in these contexts that I have the biggest opportunity to share Jesus verbally and through insane physical demonstration (yea, I can run 800 meters in 2minutes flat).

I plan to graduate from Moody in Dec of 2009 and teach snowboarding. I'm looking for a team to join me in intentional living as we reach out to a culture that want's nothing to do with God. So if you want to snowboard and preach Jesus from Jan-April 2009 holla at your boy.

After that I want to plant churches in Indonesia or the Basque Country (or wherever).

No one has more fun than I do. Guaranteed...

For example:

I am on a 7 month voyage that has taken me through Dublin(Ireland), Malaga(Spain) Madrid, Lausanne(Switzerland), Donostia(Basque Country), Zarautz, Santander (Spain)...and then to South Africa in April.

I am learning how the Church is being used globally in multi-cultural settings and hope to receive further guidance from God for my life. This is a life of trust and faith that God will provide for my daily needs. I need Him in a new, real way when it comes to daily life.
