About
OUR STORY:
In 2023, Javier Rodriguez was praying at the top of the year, fasting like any Christian desiring to grow closer to God and start the year right. During this fast, he contemplated his passion for evangelism and missions, wanting to do more in those areas. He felt the Lord ask, "What would you do?" Javier knew he wanted to do something different to impact the world for Jesus but was unsure what to do. Reflecting on the things he was involved in DJ, youth pastor, and his spare time spent at the local skate park for skate church, he realized he needed to take that to another level. Feeling prompted by God to start immediately, Javier emerged from that prayer time with the conviction to establish a non-profit, using skateboarding as a tool to reach those far from God. By the end of 2023, he, along with his wife Paula Rodriguez, came up with the name UNRTHDX MVMNT and initiated the process of starting the non-profit. After six years of youth ministry in the local church, the Lord called him out to go full-time into UNRTHDX MVMNT.
