U.S. Christian Surfers

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.
