Break Free 2 v 2 Battle- Fountain Valley, CA

I Got SkillZ 2- Phoenix, AZ (Video)

Break Through, Costa Mesa CA

The Break Through event was great! Bboy Don from In Rhythm with Him asked Break Free to come down and break for this event that was put on by Calvary chapel Costa Mesa. Bboy Don has been such a blessing to me personally and to our ministry. The Break Through event had many hip hop artists and rappers preaching Jesus Christ. The thing I was most impressed about was that each music artist spoke so clearly and Biblically about Jesus Christ and the need to have a relationship with Him. Saint-E, myself and many others did a lot of bboying and hip hop dancing throughout the evening. We had many kids come and participate with our dancing which was a lot of fun. We had to leave early but Bboy Don let me know that many people received Christ as Lord and Savior that night! We were thrilled to be a part of the break through event! - Beebop

Miles For Melanoma, Fullerton CA

Break Free was asked to be a part of the Miles for Melanoma 5K race. It was a great privilege to be a part of this particular event as it was a fundraiser for melanoma cancer. My wife Krista ran in this event in honor of her mom, Patty, who died of Melanoma cancer over 10 years ago. At our church, a dermatologist by the name of Bill Baugh is a passionate follower of Jesus and loves to reach the lost. Bill is the man who heads up this event and asked us to come out to break dance and most importantly, preach Christ! There were around 1000 people at this race and all sorts of vendors were set up. The great thing was that we were right in the middle of the vendors preaching the gospel. We were working alongside hook ministry (drama ministry) in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. I had the joy to open air preach my testimony and also how life is a race and that we need to throw off everything that hinders and fix our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:1,2). Also, Bboy Don from In Rhythm with Him ministry came down to bboy with us in reaching the lost. So Saint-E, Don, Bill’s son Ethan, and myself were thrown it down (breakn) in the morning. By Gods grace, many people heard the gospel and because of this we rejoiced! - Beebop

King of OC- Irvine

Every Few months the a Battle is put on at the Heritage Community Center in Irvine called the King of OC. This past weekend it was a 2 on 2 battle in which Saint-E and Beebop represented Break Free. Ultimately, we wanted to represent Christ in the way we battled and conducted ourselves. As I sat and watched the bboy my heart felt a sorrow towards them because it seemed as if this is what most of these guys/girls live for. And I really want them to see that life is all about knowing Jesus Christ and making Him known to others. Please pray that Break Free has more compassion for the bboy scene and reaches to them in love and Truth! We had a lot of fun competing and we also want to plan doing more battles to reach out to the bboy community for Christ! "

Break Free Picture Day with Brandon Kidd!

I have always wanted to get some professional photos of Break Free Ministry and who better to have as a photographer than Brandon Kidd! Brandon is a personal good friend of mine who loves Jesus Christ and is a sucessfull photographer. He took my engagement photos, as well as my wedding photos and did an incredible job. Check out his website www.bkiddphoto.com So the Lord worked out a perfect time/date to get Brandon away from his busy schedule, Mike "bishop" Swalley away from Dallas, and the rest of us together to make this shoot possible. These shots were taken near the train station in downtown fullerton. It was great to have the entire crew together! The Lord opened up a door for Mike to share the Lord with a stranger which was awesome. The shoot took a couple hours and was a lot of fun. Thanks Brandon for doing a great job!

I Got SkillZ 2- Phoenix, AZ

It was a beautiful sunny weekend in Scottsdale/Phoenix AZ. The young adults team from Calvary Chapel East Anaheim came down to help minister the gospel at a break free outreach called " I Got Skillz". This was the 2nd I got Skillz competition (you can check out the first one in our 2008 section of the blog)and it was a great event! First off, it was completely centered around the gospel of Jesus Christ. We collaborated with two other churches which were Whitton Ave. Bible Church and Roosevelt Community Church. It was awesome to see three different churches working together to fufill the great comission! This was our first Break Free event where we battled each other. We also had 3 judges :Sean, Andy, and Nathan. We had the tremendous priviledge of having 2 live DJ's who spun for us. DJ Paolo and DJ Mikey P who were great. For the first round we did a three way battle where it was Beebop (josh) vs. Liz vs. Emily. Liz came off with strong energy while Emily did well with showing off her style. Also, Saint-E (vincente) battled Bishop (Mike)and it was intense! Bishop came off with some clean moves and vicente came right back at him with his polished floor work and freezes. They ended up having a tie breaker and Mike won that battle. Then Liz battled Emily to see who could go for third and forth place. Liz went on to the next round. For intermission, Liz shared her testimony for the first time with Break Free. She talked about the power of God at work in her life in which she has been growing to understand the grace of God. After Liz's testimony, Saint-E battled Liz for third and fourth place. Liz really put the pressure on Saint-E and it was a fun battle! Saint-E ended up taking 3rd. Then lastly, Beebop and Bishop battled in the finals. I personally had a great time and actually it was our first official battle. Beebop threw in a couple new sets while Mike was the crowd pleaser with his great creativity! We ended up have to do two tie breakers, which was exhausting but incredibly fun. Beebop ended up winning. But the main focus of the night was when Mike shared the gospel. Before he shared, the Hook team from CCEA performed a moving drama that portrays the gospel. They did a fantastic job. Then Mike transitioned and talked about how all of our "good" works are as filthy rags in the sight of a Holy God. And God became man to take the punishment for our sins because of unconditional Love. "God demonstrated his love towards us in this: that while we were still sinners Christ died for us." It was powerful! This message opened up the door for us to have one to one conversations with people who came to the event! It was an awesome night, thanks for all the prayers, hard work and support that went into it! - Beebop
