Letter from the National Director
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes I find that I get very focused on the the small dot in
front of me and miss the bigger picture. Sometimes I forget that
Jesus said, HE would build HIS church and that nothing would stop
it. HE went on to say that I'm simply to "remain" in HIM. It's
not my job to draw the lost but merely to love them and share the
Good News with them. Sometimes my days don't go so well and I
think, "is Christian Surfers doing enough or doing anything for
that matter?"

This week I was working on the praise reports from 2008. To me,
those numbers represent faces and stories, opportunities and the
"brick and mortar" of God glorifying Himself and man enjoying it.
I was blessed as I added up simply one catagory - outreaches and
chapter meetings. These are event where CSUS members
intentionally love on people and truth goes forth. In 2008 this
scenario occured 1,369 times all over the United States. Wow!
God is building HIS Kingdom. I'm just glad I get be a part of
it.

Chapter in Focus: Jacksonville
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hailing from N. Florida along with Gabe Kling and Asher Nolan, CS
Jacksonville is a diverse group that ensures that every surfer
they come across is reached with the love of Jesus.

Started back in 1996 by Jon Culbreth and Donny Oxley, original
members still serve with passion and commitment while discipling
a new generation such as interim director Trey Brunson. Involved
in outreaches with Life Rolls On, the National Kidney Foundation
and mission trips to Cuba, CS Jacksonville has a lot to share.
