A Hungarian Roman Catholic priest has become a YouTube hit with
his distinctive method of spreading the word on wheels. The Reverend Zoltan Lendvai, 45, who lives and preaches in Redics, a small village on Hungary’s border with Slovenia, believes skateboarding can open the way to God for young people.Lendvai says he follows the ways of Saint John Bosco, an Italian priest and educator in the 19th century who dedicated his life to improving the lot of poor youngsters and used games as part of their education.
He learned the skills of skateboarding at the age of 14 at school but it was only later, when he served as a priest in the town of Kormend in northwest Hungary, that he realized the impact his skill could have on youngsters.
He said three boys aged between 16 and 18 who had never attended church before started coming regularly after he showed them a few skateboard tricks.
His first board bore the papal coat of arms and he has since given away at least six to his young parishioners.
Yes, keep it up, father. The more we can stir up some faith in the youth and the wayward adults of this world, the better. We cannot live without God at the helm...By the way I found a website that give you prizes for your opinions and 4 play games here is the topic about this:
