Living the One Love...

Nicole and I have been full-time as One Love missionaries since February. Thanks for taking the time to check out what's new with our ministry since our last update! This month we'd like to highlight 1L speaking opportunities, partnerships, & new family developments.
Chief Jeff Ledford, SPD, Shares How The 1L Of Jesus Impacted His Life

1L Speaking Opportunities

- Josh had the privilege of speaking at Putnam Baptist Church's Youth Ministry, Warehouse247, this month. Putnam Baptist is where One Love Skate began back in 2006, and we are so thankful for their continued support. A year ago, 10/4/16, Putnam Baptist invited Josh to share on Sunday Morning during their "Host Moment" about One Love Skate.

- We are so thankful Pastor Bryan Glisson invited the church to consider not only supporting Josh & Nicole through prayer but also supporting us financially through OneLoveSkate.org (Sermon Video from PutnamBaptist.org)



















We appreciate Chief Jeff Ledford coming and giving the "1L Talk On The Container."  
     - The skaters at Hope Community Church signed a skate deck for Chief Jeff to display at the Shelby Police Department as a thank-you.

- Coming Up: Josh was invited to preach this December 4, at Hope Community Church and also share about our ministry. Please join us in prayer for this "One Love Day" 12/4/16 at Hope Community.

We're thankful that October 19, 2016 during Hope Community Church's "Skate at 8," Chief Jeff shared how the 1L has impacted his life. #LiveOneLove

Partnerships 

On oneloveskate.org, we now have videos for all 10 Values on our 1L Leader Training. We hope to print curriculum soon and take many 1L Reps through this training at every skatepark in Maui & all around the world.   

- All Christians rep the 1L of Jesus, but those who are part of a local church and have been discipled through all 10 1L Leader Trainings can be official "One Love Skate Reps" who we hope to resource & equip to #LiveOneLove through our 501(c)(3).

#ShoulderToShoulder
  - We thank God for many new "One Love Skate" partnerships since our last update. 
  - #AshlandSk8 Jam in Oregon; Auburn in Laramie, Wyoming; Sam P. in Maui doing events Upcountry & in Paia; Micah's work in Makassar, Indonesia; Jeff & the onelovebasketball.org team at Hope Community Church; and Pastor Jay Wright and his family at Lahaina Baptist Church with their 1L Room.

 If you log in to today's "Specific Prayer Requests" on OneLoveSkate.org, you can see a Newsletter Bonus. This includes praises & more details from recent 1L ministry featuring Lahaina Baptist Church, Wyoming 1L Event, Upcountry Maui 1L Event, & OneLoveBasketball.org.

- We are so thankful for our partnership with Radi8 Student Ministries at Hope Community Church. We've recently seen 3 skaters saved & baptized with Pastor Kenny Hall. Plus, Pastor Jeff & Pastor Kenny did baptisms wearing One Love Skate t-shirts during recent Sunday morning services! :)

#1LSightings are an important part of our ministry as we are always working to inspire people to have conversations about the One Love of Jesus.

- The following #1LSightings that Charlene Fitch shared on facebook October 20 in Las Vegas was especially encouraging: Her daughter, Maggie, and her had a great #1LConvo with a curious stranger while wearing a One Love Skate shirt. 

The purpose of our 1L products, whether it be skate decks, hats, shirts, stickers, etc., is to provide tools to help people have conversations about the 1L of Jesus. We thought this #1LSightings post from Charlene Fitch was a great example!
This is from the Sunday Information Packet at Hope Community Church. We currently have several people being discipled through our 1L Leader Training.
- Prayer Warriors - Thanks for helping us with your prayers by logging in and taking the time to pray through our Monday updates! We have a special video of Caleb sharing the "Specific Prayer Requests" password, and you may feel free to contact us if you would like us to send you the password so you can log in and pray.
Our newest little man, Silas Kamuela, was born on the 5th, & Caleb turned 5 on the 19th of this month!

Family Update 

We’ve been enjoying the day to day transitions growing as a family of five now! Although Silas had a bumpy first week, his lungs have developed properly, and Dr.'s do not expect him to have any asthma or further health problems. Praise the LORD!

- Several New People & a new organization have joined in regularly supporting our family financially through One Love Skate.

- We thank you for staying updated with One Love Skate. If you give to our mission, thank you for your financial support as we could not do this important ministry without the regular support of you and your church families.

-  We are at 60% of the financial support required to continue to work full-time as One Love Missionaries.

- Please pray about making a tax-deductible donation to our ministry and/or regularly partnering with us financially! Please contact us if you have any questions. Thanks for helping us #LiveOneLove.

Our family is greatly enjoying this season of growth and development for One Love Skate here in North Carolina.
