CSUS Shark Replenishment Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------
One thing that CSUS members everywhere have noticed is how much
easier it is to have conversations with surfers on the beach than
in the lineup. So, after very little prayer, we have partnered
with the National Fish and Wildlife Administration and have
started a Shark replenishment project. For the NFWA this is a
great thing because CSUS will do the work to add to the number of
sharks in the wild. In addition CSUS offers a broad distribution
channel with chapters all around the country. This is a huge win
for CS as we envision things working this way: once sharks, which
will be farmed in Florida, reach adolescence we will ship them to
chapters around the country. Those chapters will then use them
as an outreach tool by releasing them into crowded lineups and
then sharing Jesus with the surfers fleeing to the beach. We
have Beta tested this idea with great success and very little
draw back – a few minor bites. If you are interested in donating
to this project or would like to be involved in any way please
email APRIL-FOOLS@csus.com [info@christiansurfers.com]. Have a
blessed April Fools Day!
