They say the furthest distance that exists in the world is the distance from your head to your heart. Though they are so close in proximity, many times it feels like they are infinitely separated in disagreement. Instinctively, deep in our hearts we all know that there is more to life than what meets the eye, yet our restless souls wage war as most search to fill this space with countless things the world has to offer. While all creation might be pointing to a Creator, most people will spend the majority of the lives without ever learning the fullness of who that Creator is.
We were so excited to visit friends in South America and it was an honor to serve side by side with the goal of reaching the skate community in Brazil. For several years we talked about linking up with our friend, Carlos Ribeiro to do some ministry together in his home town in Brazil. It took us a few years to get the schedules to line up but getting to spend this time together, hear his story, and to get to share the Gospel through multiple skate contests was such a blessing to say the least.
Boasting over 2,000 public skateparks and a population of 8,500,000+ skaters, it's no wonder Brazil has mass produced some of the world's best skateboarders! Since 2010, we have traveled the world and hosted thousands of events with the goal of sharing the Gospel through events just like the ones we hosted in Brazil. Through this trip it quickly became evident that Brazil has more opportunities for ministry than we can even fathom! We were so moved to hear Carlos’ story and how the simple obedience of how a friend and fellow skater shared the Good News with him and as a result his life was changed forever. Knowing and believing that as Paul wrote in Romans 10:17, “faith comes from hearing the Word of God”, we are more motivated than ever before to continue doing all that we can to bring the Good News of Jesus to the ENDS of the earth . . . until EVERY ear has heard.
