Beyond Sight: The Derek Rabelo Story

Film Synopsis for BEYOND SIGHT:

Amidst the small beautiful city of Guarapari, Brazil, Derek Rabelo's father prayed that his son would become a famous professional surfer. His father named his son after the legendary Pipeline surfer Derek Ho, the embodiment of his dream.



Unfortunately on May 25th 1992, his prayer seemed unanswered when Derek was born blind. Seventeen years later Derek decided that despite his blindness he still wanted to surf and that he wanted to surf Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu. Through the encouragement of his parents, best friend, and surf coach, Derek embarked on a three-year journey of grueling mental, physical and spiritual training.

Join Derek as he perseveres towards his goal of surfing Pipeline and along the way inspires the best surfers in the world including Kelly Slater, Gerry Lopez, Tom Curren, Damien Hobgood, Derek Ho, Laird Hamilton, Lakey Peterson, Coco Ho, and the entire surfing world. You will learn from Derek's story that the best journeys in life are walked by faith, and not by sight.

Tom Curren & The CS South Africa

By: Don Pearson

PRAISE POINTS > Praise God for a great training day for East Coast CS leaders at Whakatane on Saturday. The local crew hooked up an awesome venue and a good time was had getting to know each other better and diving into the CS foundations training manual. At lunchtime a bunch of skater boys turned up to ride the ramp at the venue so we got to put some of the theory into practice. > Further to the feedback last week on the J-Bay Billabong Pro, Roy Harley writes: "Thanks so much for the prayers, God answered in a big way. We had 180 people crammed into a venue that normally only seats 120" ... for the Walking On Water movie. From Snoek Leonard, "... a lot of the J-Bay locals came. Tom Curren played a gig on his guitar and sang. His lyrics were straight up claiming it for Jesus. Roy did a short interview with Tom and then we played the movie". Roy and Tom at the WOW Premiere GLOBAL pr-AIR POINTS *Praying for the CSI Community* As we conclude our focus this month on the surf ministries in South Africa, pray for: the 'fruits' of the recent outreach activities during the time of the Billabong Pro, that souls would be saved as a result of God's word going out. for the African region as Son Surf expands into Mozambique, Reunion, Mauritius and Madagasgar. That the Lord will lead the Son Surf crew to the right people at the right time. "All your waves and billows have gone over me, and floods of sorrow pour upon me like a thundering cataract. Yet day by day the Lord also pours out His steadfast love upon me, and through the night I sing His songs and pray to God who gives me life". Psalm 42:7,8 Laters, ...have fun getting barreled in the prayer room! Regards, Don
