    A Hungarian Catholic priest has become an internet sensation for spreading the word of God - from his skateboard.
    A Hungarian Catholic priest has become an internet sensation for spreading the word of God - from his skateboard.
    A video of Reverend Zoltan Lendavi showcasing his skateboarding skills has become a YouTube hit, with some versions having more than 170,000 views.
    The video, Funny Priest Skateboarding, shows 45-year-old Lendavi, in full clerical dress, showcasing his moves for youngsters outside his church in Gaborjanhaza, a small village on Hungary's border with Slovenia.
    He said he got the idea from Saint John Bosco, an Italian priest and educator in the 19th century who dedicated his life to improving the lives of youngsters and used games as part of their education.
    And his skateboarding sermons seem to have paid off as three teenage boys, who had never been to church have now started coming regularly after the priest shared some of his skateboarding skills with them.



    That would have been a good fail had heen been hit by the car at 0:18, but fair play to him I suppose.

    *awaits jokes looking for thanks*

    1 Corinthians 9:19-23

    19Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. 23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
