One day, back in 2021, Julia was at the skatepark in Chilliwack and found herself alone there. She prayed and asked God to provide some way to share the gospel with skaters there. The next day, her friend texted her asking if she wanted to volunteer with Skatelife to help share the gospel with skaters right in her own city. It was a very direct answer to prayer.
After volunteering back in 2021-2022, Julia saw a huge unreached missions field in Victoria amongst the skaters. This led her to quit her job as of 2024 to start up Skatelife right here in Victoria. She works with other like minded skaters to be the aroma of Christ at the skate parks; serving and loving the skaters in whatever way is needed.
Julia runs camps, events, indoor skating, BBQ’s, and at home meals/bible studies for skaters to show the love of Jesus! Skaters are starting to know God through this and there is a deep friendship being built.
Julia has been attending Lambrick since 2022 and embraces it as her church family. If you would like to support, join along, or hear what is actually happening with Skatelife monthly(ish), you can subscribe for updates. She also would LOVE to go for coffee and share about her ministry in person.
You can contact Julia to set this up.
