Dutch Surfers Bible

Christian Surfers Holland have worked tirelessly to create a version of the Surfers Bible in Dutch to aid in reaching the surprisingly large Dutch surfing community. They have been able to fund this enough to start the printing process, but need another €7,500 (AUD$11,000) to see it completed.

If you can read Dutch, you can learn more on their website. If not and you would like to donate to this awesome project, please click here to donate through CSI.

Este video mostra um pouco da vida caiçara, isso é mais o menos o que acontece com a molecada por aqui, sempre que tem uma oportunidade dão o perdido na mãe e vão surfar!!!

A grande questão é: será que tem onda?

A grande questão é: será que tem onda? Lembro-me que antes da internet chegar com todas as sua previsões e mapas era muito difícil saber as condições do mar e cada surf trip era sempre cercada de muita expectativa, pois, de uma forma ou de outra, nós sempre tínhamos a esperança que as ondas estariam perfeitas. Esta esperança, na verdade, nada mais é do que a fé que, segundo a bíblia nos ensina, “É a certeza de que vamos receber as coisas que esperamos e a prova de que existem coisas que não podemos ver”. Hebreus 11:1.

Muitas vezes já fui surpreendido com altas ondas e outras vezes, apesar das previsões otimistas, as ondas não apareceram. Creio que você também já passou por situações como essa, pois assim como na vida, as ondas vêm e vão e nem sempre as circunstâncias a nossa volta são como tínhamos imaginado.

O mais importante é que na estrada da vida você nunca perca sua fé ou a esperança de dias melhores, pois essa deve ser nossa atitude sempre. Afinal de contas, o melhor mar da sua vida ainda pode estar por vir!

Boas Ondas!

Living a Correct Life.

Try your best to please God and to be like him.
Be faithful, loving, dependable, and gentle.

Surf House Fundraising Initiative

Surf Houses are a new fundraising initiative that involve a donation of 2-3 weeks accommodation per year to CSI, who, in turn, make the accommodation available for sale throughout our network. So far we have houses in New Zealand, Bali, Australia, South Africa and Peru, and more are needed. If you have any recommendations, or would like to donate a house, please contact your RC or our Surf House International Coordinator Peter Haynes from Australia, who works in the travel industry and is assisting the process. We see this as a creative way of more sustained international funding beyond donations. A dedicated website will be set up in 2015. If you want to know more about the locations currently available contact info@christiansurfers.net.

50th ISA World Surfing Games Peru

CSI worked alongside CS Peru to moblise a team to serve at the 50th anniversary ISA World Surfing Games at Punta Rocas. 26 nations were represented and CS leaders from USA, Australia and Peru handed out water, DVDs, Surfers Bibles and food, as well as hosting a special BBQ for the ISA officials. The team have been trusted administrators of the drug testing procedure as well. We need to raise $600 to cover the costs of the distributed Surfers Bibles and 'Beyond Sight' DVDs. To contribute donate here.

GROUNDSWELL CONFERENCE 2014

'Surfing For Jesus is Pura Vida' - 'Pure Life' is the translation from this classic Costa Rican saying and the conference was a taste of that! Clearly focused on Jesus with beautiful unity amongst the 220 people from 26 nations of all cultural, socio-economic and Christian backgrounds - a taste of heaven. There was awesome teaching from Britt Merrick, warm waves out front, hilarious cultural presentations, inspiring stories from the field and more. Large crosses with CS-badged logo on garbage bins were erected as a gift to multiple beaches in the area. Special thanks to Dustin Miller and Damian Boza with the amazing Costa Rican team who headed up the whole conference. Stay tuned for the next conference to be held in Australia 2016!
