Remnant Sk8

The Story - this cutting edge ministry focuses on reaching and disciplining the skate culture of Mazatlan. YWAM Mazatlan connects with the skaters on various levels from setting up a mobile skate park, to running Skate comps and camps throughout the year. The need to disciple the young skaters further led to a weekly Bible study starting with the intention to bridge the gap between them and the local church.

The vision of Remnant is to impact the skaters of Mazatlan with the gospel where they are and provide a cutting edge mobile skate park where the kids can be free to do what they are passionate about doing. Like most cities in the world, skateboarding on the streets and parks of Mazatlan is illegal. In a city with a growing subculture of skaters and nowhere to skate, this presents itself as a huge problem. Remnant meets this need with a mobile skate park that can be set up anywhere and everywhere. Thanks to local government partnership, each week ramps are assembled and the Remnant team interacts with the young people that come to skate. During the year, Remnant also hosts skate competitions that have caught national attention within the skate community, as well as the local government.

The relationships formed through Remnant are strong and many young skaters have received Christ as their savior. The Remnant team has become a vital link for this often-misunderstood group of young people. For some of these young skaters the concept of Church isn't well received. Remnant Bible study nights started as a way to disciple these young skaters and bridge the gap between the mobile skate park and the church. There is great interest in these nights and many have come to know Christ and grow in their relationship with Him through these times together.
