We’re back! In these past few weeks we have been fortunate enough to return back to Bement, IL, which was a place we went to last year. Jeremiah and Jaime Gregory run the behind the scenes at Off The Fence Ministries. We spent some good time in their community hanging with the kids and building good relationships with them. Bement is an amazing community that really has impacted us as missionaries. Be sure to check out their spotlight in Color & Light, which is set to be released this season.

Our next stop was in Wilmore, Kentucky at this festival called Ichthus. We were brought in with this other skateboarding ministry called Ride Nature to put on demos for all the people. We got to know the Ride Nature guys very well and it was really cool to see God working through out their ministry. At Ichthus we got to form relationships with some kids their and really get to know them. We constantly had kids hanging around our booth and the skate park so it was a great opportunity to really connect with them and grow close with them. Take a look at Ichthus.
