July 13-18 - Camp Sambica, Seattle, WA

We rolled into Seattle to begin our first week of Camp at Sambica. We were the camp speakers and we took the kids wakeboarding everyday afternoon. We also called on a friend to help us with this event, Erik "Gator" Lutgert. We had a great week and God moved in an incredible way on wednesday night. We spoke and then gave the teens an opportunity to accept Christ. Well 100+ teens jumped to their feet and claimed Jesus as Lord!! Now that's RADICAL!

 

July 1-8 - Phoenix, AZ

It was a hot one in Phoenix! But despite the 120 degrees we still headed to the water to spread the gospel. God also began to open the door for a Phoneix Chapter of Radical Riders. He has provided the people, boats, and hearts. So we will spend some time this winter putting things together for next summer. God is Good!

 

June 16-18 - Riding with Kutless

We have had the privileged of knowing the christian rock band Kutless for 5 years now. So whenever we are in Portland we always make time to see the guys and catch up. We enjoyed fellowshiping with Kutless about what amazing things has been doing in both our ministries. We also enjoyed wakeboarding on the river in FREEZING water about 62 degrees. But we had a blast relaxing with the band!

 

June 6-7 - St Paul, MN

COLD, RAIN, COLD best describes this past weekend. The temperature was 68 degrees! That was a huge change from last weekend in Texas. Not too many people came out to the competition because of the conditions. We had the opportunity to catch up with another ministry in Minnesota called "Walk on Water". It was great to see their team and they helped us with WakeCHURCH sunday morning. It was a good stop, just not a lot of people to talk to.

 

May 30-June 1- Fort Worth, TX

HOT, HOT, HOT best describes this past weekend. The temperature was 94 degrees! But that did not stop us from sharing the gospel with those at the competition. One conversation with a gentlemen and his son who was in a wheelchair made our weekend. He came up to our booth and began to share all his struggles about his son, recently losing his job, and no money to pay his bills, and he did not know what was going to happen NEXT! We shared with him Matthew 6:33 "and God will give you all you need from day to day, if you live for him and make the kingdom of God your primary concern". We also shared with him Jeremiah 29:11, that God has a plan for his life...a plan to prosper. Tears began to fill his eyes, and he said "Thanks I needed that!" Now that was a radical time in TX.

 

May 23-25 - Pine Mountain, GA

We arrived at Callaway Gardens for the 49th Annual Masters Waterski and Wakeboard Tournament. This is the first time we have been a part of the Masters and it was very exciting. We met people from all over the world and had a chance to witness to over 4,000 people at the competition. It was encouraging to see Mr. Ralph Meloon again. He continues to impress us with his heart for the lost. He is in his 90's and his sole purpose everyday is to tell someone about Jesus, and he has done that since he was 11 years old. What a Radical Jesus Freak!!!

May 16-18 - Acworth, GA

 

Our first tour stop!!! At the Pro Wakeboard Tour we set up a booth to witness to the fans on the shores of the competition. There were over 5,000 people here this weekend and we were busy talking to as many as we could. Then Sunday morning we had WakeCHURCH, which is our radical version of church! We had a great turn out with around 80 people ready to hear the word. Overall we had a great first stop, now we are heading over to Callaway Gardens for the Masters Waterski and Wakeboard Tournament.

 

May 15 - THE 2008 RADICAL TOUR BEGINS
All great things begin with a God given passion, through prayer comes the manifestation of that passion! Since day one of RR we have always wanted to do a Bus Tour ...TODAY it became a REALITY. God provided the Bus, the stops, the money, and of course the Souls ready to hear his RADICAL Message. We are very excited!!
