What a privilege it was getting to meet up with the crew of Christian Skaters traveling to Paris during the Olympics! It’s been incredible seeing how the addition of skateboarding to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics’ list of events has impacted the entire skate community, with a new generation of skaters rising over the past few years. With the Olympics being such an influential event for skateboarding, our heart was to go throughout the city and utilize every opportunity the Lord placed before us to share the Good News of Christ with the locals and tourists that we knew would be flocking the pristine skate spots of Paris.

We were surrounded by the jungle and blessed with coffee, eggs, rice and beans, and fruit for breakfast. It was the second morning of our trip when we noticed something special about our group of ten. Though half the girls were from California and the other half from Florida and Kansas City, and all together for the first time, it was clear how each individual represented a distinct characteristic of Jesus.
