January 16th, The S.O.G. Crew together with Skateboarding Pros, Dennis Martinez, John Pope and Kien 'Donger' Lieu made an impact at Sherman Indian High School in Riverside. The S.O.G. Crew, missionaries to all Native American Tribes, was brought in to encourage the students through music and with a shared testimony. A skate demo by professionals, John Pope and Kien 'Donger' Lieu drew many "oooo's and aah's" from the students. John Pope is a SK8Kings Team Rider. He's known for his triple flip and 360 spinning trick! They're very impressive to watch and it was all caught on tape by Elite TV! Also revealing hard to hit tricks was Kien 'Donger' Lieu from San Diego. He's a 20 year veteran of skateboarding and began when he was 15 years old. Donger is known worldwide for his recording holding 'Highest Ollie' trick. He's sponsored by Puma, Vans, Alpha Numeric, Planet Earth, Life and Dynasty (his company). He's an awesome skateboarder! To reach the young population of Native Americans from tribes all over the U.S. the program brought to them was called 'OTS (Off The Streets)' run by Prison Life Ministries and Dennis Martinez, Pro Skate Champion. He is using music, skate demos and a film called 'D.O.P.E' The Movie to teach the students. Both pros and The S.O.G. Crew are friends Dennis Martinez and are working with him to encourage students in high schools across the United States and in other smaller countries to encourage them to stay away from drugs and to seek God in their professions throughout life. Please lift them up in prayer as they continue to reach more and more young adults and teens with their message of hope. Thank you and God bless!
