The magnificent 7 of our International Leadership Team plus 4 Board members were hosted by CSUS at their national base in St Augustine, Florida. We talked, debated, prayed, laughed, challenged about our core strategies and what we felt was God's leading for our future. There was also surfing (well the Canadian visitors loved it), eating, cruising St Augustine streets and the odd BB gun abuse (Jon Mak and Steve Bailey stand condemned!).
I am so encouraged by both the quality of our leadership as well as the openness of conversation. It was great to have CSUS director Dean Plumlee sit on on all the meetings and give some US perspectives.
We had 3 days of strategic planning followed up by 3 days of leadership training by our Pacific RC Alan Vink.
All agreed that Alan's input was really good and we had special guests from Snowboarders and Skiiers for Christ, Bruce Nelson and Josh Stock, the National Leaders of Canada and USA. God is doing much all over the world but such a long way to go in reaching the world surfing community!
