I've questioned whether chronicling the outreach was of any value to anyone besides myself, and decided that if it encourages one person to follow what they believe God is directing them to do, then I'm good with recording the events of this journey. So today's entry is about God confirming an idea i entertained, as i was wondering what i could do, for those who support the ministry outreach.
Well for starters, asking anyone to help is a little humbling, as I've always worked to provide for whatever I needed. And when Riptide Sports said they would help the ministry, I asked God how i could bless them for their support. Its been amazing to see the Lord answer this prayer so swiftly, with the culmination of events in the last week. The idea placed on my heart was making Videos on Longboard skating instruction for YouTube and Vimeo.
I've been watching a ton of Videos, and thought a niche was open to teach and demonstrate what an old guy has learned to encourage other beginners of all ages. Not only instructional videos, but also Demo all kinds of Skateboard product. And of course this would give me the opportunity to give props to those who help the ministry.
My first obstacle was getting a GoPro Camera. One idea on acquiring this, was to list one of my better Skateboards in the Barter section of Craig's, but I rejected this, since I didn't want someone's jacked up Camera in trade. As destiny by God's grace would have it, someone contacted me for a cash sale for a skateboard, and then he asked if i knew anyone that needed a GoPro 3 Black plus, since he upgraded to the GoPro4. I told him maybe? Well God knows I would never trade for electronic stuff, If my son couldn't check it out, and amazingly he was visiting from Texas. Obviously he checked it out and gave it a thumbs up, so GoPro is in the inventory.
I could easily continue this story with details on support from having a volunteer cameraman available for shooting Video. Friends and family donating Video software and Class 10 memory card. Volunteer Pro tech support on everything like; editing software/ wifi connection camera to phone/ updating video card/ updating camera version/ Updating drivers on computer/ etc.
Trying to keep this short, I'll close by saying that God is truly amazing in making this all happen so swiftly and I'm very encouraged and motivated to begin shooting footage and presenting videos with a flavor of Scripture to the world. I desire to praise God in the name of his precious Son Jesus Christ, for allowing me to serve him with this ministry as he unfolds how i should be doing it, through his Word and life events in his control!
