Tasmaniacs

From january eighteen to february five I set out to join a group of skaters in checking off Tasmania for pure parks. this means praying over, cleaning, and handing out Bibles to all of TAS's 56 skate parks.

In all we gave away 175 Bibles, 200 christian skate dvds and a couple boxes of prizes, all funded by boardstore and trinity distribution.

The overall idea of pure parks and giving away Bibles is that they would be seeds planted in peoples lives that have never heard the gospel.

The trip went really well, we we're blessed in so many ways, (food, housing, loving people) with only 1 minor injury, and some really cool opportunities to share about the God that loves us.

Tasmania is one beautiful place.

These are photos of things we did and places we saw on the way to the skateparks....

Bribie Island

All three of Bribie Island's skateparks are now pure. Des and Shannon knocked them over in a day trip from the Sunny Coast. One of the better parks has lots of potential for reaching the youth with an abandoned youth centre and basketball/ tennis courts right next to it. There were some good opportunities to share and ecourage some younger skaters and give them Bibles and Foolishness DVD's.

Gladstone To Townsville

Over the June/July School Holiday Derek, Kieren and Wolfy were on the Road traveling along the coastline from Maroochydore to Townsville (1,250 km) and back. The purpose of our trip was to get to every skatepark between Gladstone and Townsville...cleaning the parks, praying over them evangelizing and giving out Bibles to skaters. The trip took around a week, visiting 20 skate parks and handing out 44 bibles. We all returned home pretty beat and tired from skating everyday and sleeping in a tent. The trip went pretty smoothly overall, despite a couple stitches, and some good bruising. Our trip was also accompanied by the ever delightful presence of a megaphone.
