Letter from the National Director
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I spent the last six days with Nic Mclean (creator of Noah's Arc
- the surf video). I was thinking about how God gave Nic a
passion to make surf videos. Through his obedience and the
obedience of many others, Noah's Arc was created. Through the
obedience of the people at Walking on Water the video was brought
to the world. Through the obedience of CS chapters and churches
the video toured the world. Through the obedience of CS members
people were loved on and invited to attend showings of the movie
and tens of thousands of people met Jesus. Two things struck me
- 1. the strategic planning of God and 2. the obedience of the
saints. Through that everyone wins - people find joy and God
gets glory. So, where has God strategically placed you today and
are you obeying? Remember through obedience you find joy and God
gets glory!


Chapter in Focus: Manasquan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cold barrels, hardcore surfers, Dean Randazzo and Casino Pier all
come to mind when thinking of Jersey. The Manasquan chapter has
been around now for 5 years plus and is currently headed up by an
on-fire Brazilian, Nestor Wagner. Made up of mostly older folks
they have a unique summer outreach which consists of FREE!!! surf
lessons and loving on people. Their approach to following Christ
is as committed as surfing through winter water temps in the high
30's. CLICK HERE [http://www.christiansurfers.com] to get to
know more about Manasquan!
