THE OFFENSIVE

A low pressure system was forecasted for an Easter swell that was going to be EPIC. A forecast of big swell and offshore winds was going to light up the coast. At the same time there was another system that was gaining momentum, but this was unlike any other. It was a wind that would not only bring perfect waves, but would bring the Glory of God!

A month later as I travel along the highway I have the chance to reflect on this system which saw 155 surfers from Christian surfers Australia converge on Victor Harbor in SA for our annual Tribal Gathering, which is always a highlight of every CS surf missionary.  And this year did not disappoint, with so many memories that will forever be in the hearts of those who made the journey to SA.  There were some real peaks at this years TG which came in the form of great teaching by Neville Strachan our inspirational speaker, Amazing Worship, a Sunday Dawn paddle out that was majestic, a communion service that really saw the tribe being the light to the world and a Surf film festival night which literally brought the CS mission right into the midst of this years gathering.

This year’s theme was “the offensive” and it certainly came out in all facets of the gathering. Neville’s messages filled us with courage to not be timid in faith, but to be bold and to start asking God to show us the waterspouts in our surfing community comparing our quest with Davids army as they conquered the Jebusites (2 Sam 5:8).
