FAMILY UPDATE

My family and I are so excited to be joining the Ride Nature team! The last 10 years I have been working for Kroger, climbing the corporate ladder, and leading a small Skate Church here in Kentucky. God has used me at Kroger over the years, but I often wondered why God had me in the secular work force. There were even times I questioned if it was really where God had led me but I continued to stay fit until I felt Him calling me elsewhere. I see so clearly now that the last 10 years have been God establishing our family and giving us the tools we needed for the work He has for us at Ride Nature. I will be stepping into a leadership position with the non-profit mission organization, Ride Nature as their director of operations. I will be helping to oversee and manage all of their operations in SWFL. To learn more about what the organization is doing in FL you can check out the links above under “Local Outreach”. The organization currently has 8 other full-time staff and 4 interns and I could be more excited to join this team. Our family is looking forward to selling our home, packing our stuff, and heading down to Florida but there are several things we are trusting the Lord to do before we can pack our bags!

We believe the Lord is preparing both prayer and financial partners to come alongside us to make this transition. We would first and foremost like to ask that you pray for us. Please pray that this step of faith will be a testament to the truth of Jesus and that His work in us will point our non-believing friends and family members to Him. Please also pray for a smooth transition for our family of 6 to Florida as we will be listing our house and begin looking for a new home in Fort Myers.

As each of the staff of the organization are raising their personal support as missionaries our family will be doing the same. We would like to invite you to be a part of our financial team and help us reach our monthly financial goal of $4,250! We are praying for 50 monthly partners to come alongside us and commit to giving on a monthly basis. We are so thankful for any gift you feel the Lord calling you to give, but it will definitely be the strength of our committed monthly partners that will allow us to fully commit our time, energy, and ultimately lives to the mission of sharing the Gospel and making disciples through the action sports community. We are certain this is our calling and know that those God calls He also equips and provides for! We want to thank you for your prayers and financial support as together we work to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth!

With love,

-Josh, Katherine, Everett, Elliott, Eliza, and Ezra Roberts
