ABOUT THE TRIP
In all of our travels since 2010, never have we found such a spiritually strong group of young people as we’ve found in the Philippines. At the core of Ride Nature’s mission is the hope and goal of equipping and establishing leadership globally. The action sports industry is huge. Well over 100,000,000 individuals worldwide. The hope of impacting a number this large is only possible by multiplying leadership.
Making up a cluster of over 7,000 islands, the Philippines is not only one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever visited, but the action sports industry is massive there. From world class surfing, tons of skimboarding, skate spots everywhere, to multiple wake parks, the Filipinos are all about the action sports! This was our 3rd trip to the Philippines and it seems like each trip has just gotten better. Visiting 3 different islands and different pockets of leaders, we got to witness first hand, young people getting after it when it comes to making a difference in the communities they live in.

PRAYER REQUESTS
& LONGTERM VISION
The House of Ride Nature - Asia. We would like to ask that you join us in praying for the vision and opportunity to establish a facility that would be a headquarters for the work Ride Nature is spearheading in the Philippines and all over Asia. The prayer is to establish an Asia headquarters for the organization somewhat near CWC Wake/Skate Park. CWC is such an amazing and powerful gateway to bring the Gospel, equip leaders, and reach individuals from literally all around the world. The hope and prayer would be to establish a facility with a small skatepark in the back that would provide a space to teach skate lessons and host local outreach events. With the hope of establishing sustainability and a way to build deeper relationships with those in the community we would also love to have a small skate/wake retail area. The goal would be to have this location also house mission teams, support local discipleship, and train up and equip leaders all over Asia.
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers
in speech, in conduct,
in love, in faith and in purity.
