PASADENA—The Real Encounter extreme sports team performing skateboard tricks and BMX bike stunts told a crowd of 2,000 parents and students at Pasadena Memorial High School about their hope in life—Jesus Christ—during a City Reach Houston youth event.
Joe West, a BMX biker from Springfield, Mo., flies more than 10 feet through the air during the Real Encounter extreme sports evangelism event.
The nine-person Christian team of extreme sports professionals—some with national and world rankings—partnered with Texas Baptists and South Main Baptist Church in Pasadena—to gain access to intermediate schools by performing extreme sports and showing media and music clips to share character lessons about setting goals and encouraging others.
They also invited the students and their families to a free extended show where a gospel presentation took place. More than 215 students and adults responded to the invitation to begin a relationship with Christ that night.
