Ride Nature

There are moments when the Body of Christ has the opportunity to become more than a phrase; we get to become a family.

While many of us enjoy comforts we often take for granted our brothers and sisters around the world are faithfully serving Jesus through incredibly difficult circumstances.

In Cuba, our ministry partners are enduring constant power outages, fuel shortages, and daily challenges just to provide for their families while continuing the work God has called them to. Our goal is to raise $1,500 to provide a generator, fuel, and food to help strengthen their ministry.

In Davao City, Philippines, Josh and Novi Nerez continue to faithfully disciple and raise up the next generation of leaders. As they pour into others week after week, we’re seeking to raise $1,500 to help meet both their family’s needs and the ministry they lead.

The beauty of the Gospel is that we don’t serve silos. When one part of the Body suffers, we all suffer together, and when one part is strengthened, the whole Body is strengthened.

Would you prayerfully consider helping us meet these needs?

Every gift—large or small—will go directly toward strengthening these faithful leaders and the ministries they serve. It’s a tangible way to provide relief, encourage weary servants, and remind them they are not forgotten.

If you’d like to give, visit the link in our bio or go to ride nature.org/give and designate your gift for Cuba or Philippines.

Thank you for partnering with us to lift up those who are faithfully impacting the world.

Mission Mondays #004: Return to the Foundation

Sometimes faithfulness looks like simplifying.

Not because the mission has changed.

But because the landscape has.

For the past seventeen years, Ride Nature has existed with one heartbeat: to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth through action sports. That calling remains as clear today as it was in 2009.

This next chapter isn’t a retreat from the mission. It’s a return to the foundation.

If you’d like to read the full letter from our founder, Mark Koch, we’ve shared it on our website at ridenature.org/globalupdate. We’d love for you to take a moment to read it, reflect with us, and continue praying as we follow wherever the Lord leads.

To The Ends…

Until Every Ear Has Heard.

A call to prayer 🙌🏽

The other day we had a thought, “If only we knew someone who knew .”

Maybe they could introduce us. Maybe they could connect us. Maybe we could ask Steph to support the work of Ride Nature…and maybe hook our crew up with some new shoes!?

We have been guilty quite a bit of this thought…If only we knew the right people…If only we had the right connections…If only someone could open the right door…

But the Lord immediately reminded us that we have access to Him. We don’t need a middleman. We don’t need a special connection. Through prayer, we can go directly to the One who created everything, to God who holds all power, and knows exactly what we need. We can go directly to Him!

What a gift! We pray that you, like us, won’t forget this or underestimate prayer today. The greatest connection we’ll ever have is already available.Will you partner with us by praying for Ride Nature?

There are seasons that shape you.

Seasons that challenge what you believe, reveal who you’re becoming, and invite you to step into something greater than yourself.

The Ride Nature Discipleship Program is a hands-on, Christ-centered experience designed to equip the next generation of surfers, skaters, creatives, and leaders to live with purpose and lead with impact.

Through biblical discipleship, intentional community, outreach, leadership development, and mission opportunities, students are challenged to grow in faith, character, and conviction.

Not simply to gain knowledge.

But to be transformed.

To be trained, equipped, empowered, and mobilized for the Gospel.

If you have a heart for missions, Jesus or action sports we’d love to invite you to pray about joining our team for a trip down to Guatemala & El Salvador June 11-22nd, 2026!

Whether it’s sharing life with local communities, serving through action sports outreach, or simply saying “yes” to where the Lord is leading, these trips are about far more than travel. They’re about finding purpose and participation in the Great Commission.

If you’ve been praying about taking a step of faith, this could be your invitation.

Mission Mondays #004:

Not everyone is called to go.

But everyone is called
to take part in the mission.

Some go.
Some hold the rope.

The question remains…

Are you entering the pit
or holding the rope?

Mission Mondays #003:

Your story of change becomes someone else’s story of hope!

We believe the Bible is clear that we’re all called to “Go”. When, how long, and to where, can take many forms, but the question still remains…

Will you go?

You’ll often plant seeds simply in faith and for a while they disappear into the dirt. But in time, what was buried comes into the light, and what was unseen bears fruit.

For over a decade, we’ve served with helping clean the park after each night. On Sunday morning, the day of Tampa Pro finals, it has been so encouraging to host Skate Church and see God grow it. Thank you for sharing two years in a row. We’re grateful to for all the work he puts into this event and for allowing us to host Skate Church. Hearing ’ perspective and the change he’s witnessed at Tampa Pro for the last 4 years is amazing 🙏🏽

Congrats to , and . Shout out to our friend for the “Best Time” award. The level of talent in skateboarding is unreal. So blessed to be a part of this event and a big thank you to for crushing it with another all time recap video!

thank you for including us. We’re already counting down the days until Tampa Am!

We are stoked to be heading to Asia for ACTA Movement this year!

Following two incredible gatherings in the U.S. in 2024 and 2025, the ACTA Movement is stepping into a new chapter. We’re going international!

Our prayer is that these gatherings will offer practical tools, skill development sessions, and opportunities for networking and mentorship, helping leaders across the action sports community worldwide unite, train, encourage, and mobilize others.

In 2026, we’re excited to host this gathering in Tagaytay, Philippines, a country already full of momentum. From the first time we traveled to the Philippines, we discovered a large population of action sports ministry leaders and a movement of multiplication with immense opportunity.

We would love for you to join us! If you’re in Southeast Asia or want to be a part of this movement, make plans to be there. We’re grateful to be able to make this gathering FREE for everyone. Visit actamovement.com to learn more and register 🙌🏽
