On Friday, May 21 FBCSD’s Youth Director Brandon Hall, along with 15 other youth workers, students and professional surfers and skaters, helped put on skate demos at local high schools all around San Diego. The professional skaters who participated in the events are Christians, who use their talent of skating to share God’s love with teens.
After meeting together in the morning for prayer, the group split off to go to the different high schools. With help from the school’s Faith Club, Brandon coordinated the skate demo that took place at University High School, where the majority of the students in FBCSD’s youth group attend.
“We had a great turn-out of about 100 students who spent their lunch watching and listening to the skaters. It was awesome- so many students heard the gospel today, and that’s what this whole skate demo was about,” said Brandon.
The skaters not only wowed the crowd with their tricks, but even more so with their testimonies; having lived lives of fame and fortune, but choosing to leave it all behind to follow Christ as their Lord and Savior.

At the skate demo, Brandon and the UC High Faith Club also passed out flyers for “The Cause,” an event happening later that night for teens that featured professional athletes who shared their stories of overcoming tragedy and struggles through the power of Jesus Christ. “The Cause” was put on by San Diego CityFest with Luis Palau and the Chelsea’s Light Foundation™.
As result of the Gospel being presented, ten students gave their lives to Jesus. Praise the Lord! Thank you for your prayers, God answered in amazing ways.
Below are two videos, one just a few clips of the promo done at UC High School, and the other is a news report about "The Cause" from KUSI here in San Diego.
