FAMILY UPDATE

My wife Katherine and I were born and raised in Kentucky and have many deep roots there. A little over three years ago the Lord called us away from our home and our families to serve Him in full-time ministry with the organization, Ride Nature in Fort Myers, FL. I am currently serving as the Executive Director for the Florida headquarters and served as the Director of Operations prior. In November of last year Katherine and I felt the Lord begin to stir in our hearts a desire and passion to reach the lost skaters of Kentucky, and for Katherine's niece and nephew who lost their father (Katherine's brother) in May of 2023. After seeking the Lord for months He has confirmed that He is in fact calling us back to Kentucky to be there for our family and to reach the lost individuals involved in action sports in the area. We have loved our time in Florida and have gained lifelong friends here. The Lord has taught us so much and while we are sad to leave, we are excited to take what we've learned and continue His work back where we grew up. Our plan is to start leading skate ministry immediately and will be involved in Kentucky's action sports community in numerous ways as we work toward the vision of launching and opening a House of Ride Nature location in Lexington, KY.

We believe the Lord is preparing both prayer and financial partners to come alongside us to assist with 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 both lost skaters and our family members to Him. Please also pray for a smooth transition for our family of 7 back to Kentucky as we sell our house in Florida and prepare to return to Kentucky.

As we continue to serve as full-time members of the Ride Nature team, we will need to continue to raise funds to support our family. We would like to invite you to prayerfully consider being a part of our financial team! Our family of seven needs $67,000 per year to stay in full-time ministry and we are currently raising $55,000 per year. We are praying for an additional $1,000 in committed monthly support to allow us to reach this goal. We are so thankful for those who are currently supporting us and we couldn’t do this work if it wasn’t for you. Thank you in advance for any gift you feel the Lord might be calling you to give. 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 continue work to bring the Gospel to the ENDS of the earth!

With love,

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