As JSAW was getting ready to head in 2025, we realized that out of all the sick stuff we do, we rarely get to share the gospel message. So we designed an event called "The Session" that would occur every month where we would gather riders together to ride, sing songs, share testimonies of riders and hear that wonderful message of hope from our Heavenly Father. We didn't know it at the time, but this event was going to become a staple in the hearts of the locals here. Now, we have had over 150 individual riders come through for this event and we're not planning on slowing down. Each time, we get better, bigger, and more focused on getting the gospel into the hands of the twin cities action sports scene.

As this has grown, we've had the opportunity to not only encourage riders in our programs, but all of North America and we never could have dreamed this event would get this big. Just this past Friday, we were given the awesome opportunity to have Pro skater Felipe Gustavo be here to share and shred with us. Over 80 people showed up for this and The Holy Spirit moved in a powerful way. Every time we share the gospel, we give an opportunity to respond. 4 riders responded to the call to follow Jesus and the stories of these, would blow you away.
One rider in particular showed up simply on the basis of feeling like he needed to be a better person. He came, heard the message of the gospel and surrendered. Afterwards he was talking with Felipe, and was openly encouraged to pursue his heart for music by creating new music for the Kingdom. Another rider came because he loves what we do. Little did he know that this would be the testimony to speak to his heart. As we were wrapping up, I was talking with him in the back room. He told me he was tired of running. and wanted to really leap in and see what this Jesus stuff really meant. Another, came solely because he loves Felipe Gustavo. He saw our ad on social media, reached out, showed up, and surrendered to Christ.

God moves in powerful ways that we don't see or don't understand. Here at JSAW, we want to see more and more riders become disciples and train them to make disciples. As we continue to grow this event and its reach we need your help. Every one of these has costs involved; from paying pros to electronics, to marketing. We want to see a movement begin in the twin cities.
