Hawaii 2010

I flew in just 3 days ago after a week in Hawaii on Oahu's North Shore, for my last trip of the year. This was without a doubt my best Hawaii visit to date.

Saturday meeting with CSUS staff Dean Plumlee and Daniel Felton along with our CSI regional leader Cal Fisher saw 20 people hosted at North Shore Christian Fellowship meet to discuss the future of CS in Hawaii. Surprising to many is the fact that CS has never had a long standing mission in Hawaii, partly due to the fact that surfing is not a subculture there, it is the culture! It also requires some solid local people to lead as the area is so localised.

That night we joined with Tom Bauer at the Haleiwa Surfers Church and I was stoked to see it grow from Richard and Gloria's loungeroom to deck to backyard. They're still packing the surfers in!

Sunday was church meetings at Haleiwa and also Sunset Beach with 'The Mission' church plant and Tripp and team seeking to build a church on the solid foundation of prayerful seeking of Jesus! I was inspired and their midweek prayer meeting is the most important meeting of the week.

Monday Cal and I visited a couple of Conference centres to check out suitability for the 2012 International Conference and I am happy to say Camp Mokulaia is the place! We will have to erect a marquee and have overflow camping but its a beautiful beachfront complete with turtle and monk seal. Dinner out with Abe and Lize was great to thank them and hear about their chaplaincy on the ASP World Tour.

Tuesday was chaplaincy day, and good to debrief with Liselle Wilsnagh, chaplain to the Women's World Tour, and then have all three chaplains together including Triple Crown Chaplain, Pastor Mike Stangel. With the death of Andy Irons this year, it has been a heavy time, but such times are when the chaplains become all the more relevant.

Wednesday the surf picked up and Laniakea was pumping! I was out there in the crowd and nearly beyond my years in the solid 10' waves. The swell was a nice north and the Pipe Masters ran for the day at Backdoor. Even better was the chance to have lunch with our Brazil founders Dario and Susana, and what a treat to see Dario miraculously recovering after a potentially fatal stroke earlier this year.

Thursday...I was supposed to be home, but with the prospect of seeing the Pipe Masters run, I was keen to hang around. God bless my wonder wife Gill who said, "Come on, you stay a few more days and surf and see the contest!" It didn't run, but the swell was still on, so after checking out Eric Arakawa's factory I was surfing some great waves. Dinner that night with ASP Chairman Richard Grellman and Abe and Lize was a treat and I so appreciate the calibre of the chaplains as Richard commented, "The chaplains have exceeded the expectations of the ASP, I am amazed at the reception they have had."

Friday was an early pray, then surf with Eric. I was off to Honolulu and had a great visit with amazing church plant 'One Love' with Waxer and then forever faithful Dave at Surfco. That night caught up with Poiman and family for dinner and took in the Haleiwa community Christmas parade then talked mission to Tahiti. What a gem of a family, very humbling when they insisted on washing my feet and praying for me. Thanks guys.

Saturday was another early start and a short detour to Walmart to buy some USA sweets for the kids and off to the airport. I arrived with no boards and was leaving with 6 for friends and family and a nice Arakawa 7'4" gun for the christmas sack for BD. Reading through the book "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire" I am so challenged at my lack of prayer and calling out to God, I want to hold a quiet but determined resolve to put more of this into practice. Arriving home that afternoon Gill met me at the airport and it was sweet to see her. A big week of changes. Jackson moving out of home, Taylor working on his music and social security? India finishes her first year of high school.

Im tired but thankful for this last trip of the year, and excited that tomorrow Gill and I have a Sydney city treat with two nights alone in a city hotel as a belated 25th anniversary celebration...and my phone is off...

UK Visit and Leadership Training

I was leaving in just 8 hours when the Qantas text came announcing that all staff travel to UK was to be suspended till November 30! A quick call to my travel agent and in an hour I was rebooked on another airline flying in just 3 hours time. That was the beginning of my annual UK visit. It was a chilly 0C when I landed in Heathrow two weeks ago. We had just had a glorious Aussie spring weekend of a sunny 26C and now suddenly transported to the land of multiply layers and scarves. Cheers Andy Swift for meeting me and having breakky, then ex Aussie friend Sandra (ex Aussie not ex friend) for lunch. I even got a stroll through the National Art Gallery before riding train to Phil William's beloved Nailsea.

This is now my 8th time visiting Nailsea and UK and European Director Phil. It does feel like visiting old friends and familiar church and streets. Chatting at the Golden Horse $4 lunch, meeting the rector at All Saints, experiencing Phil's endless banter with shopkeepers and passersby, chatting to members of his church, hearing Joe's skate talk with his mates. Abi and Joe now the proud wearers of "I Live for Balance" shirts from my son Taylor and Annie the Amazing who juggles everything with such effortless ease it seems. Nailsea could be a set for the UK equivalent of 'Neighbours' I think, your quaint anglo, professional neighbourhood where people know what's going on in each others lives.

We had invited wider Europe to attend the first dedicated leadership training weekend utilising the CS Foundations Training and Phil was ably assisted by wonder admin woman Chloe and awesome operations man Dave Reynard. Two from Spain, two from Holland and another from Ireland joined 14 others from the UK making a great team of 20 for the training. Spain.....Holland.....Ireland, for some of you these don't evoke images of surf culture, but be very assured that surfing is alive and well in these countries and booming........imagine if the Swiss guys had turned up! Our goal was to expose our leadership to the training and give new trainers opportunity. Great to see Johnny Hillman inspired and he led us with his own unique Welsh humour. Both Dave and Phil along with myself delivered other units. The church Rectory is being renovated with a vision of it being a centre for Christian development and the local Rev Jolyon was very stoked to see the building utilised for the first time in this way.

"If you are in England maybe you can meet up with my dad he happens to be staying with us near Nailsea," so said my Facebook reply from one of our former Australian leaders. It was amazing that Boyd Pope just happened to be staying up the road.......one has to go 10,000km and the opposite side of the globe to meet up with an old friend from home!

God is so good enabling this weekend and with just 5 nights in UK I should have been incomprehensible with tiredness but felt pretty good actually.......just one 5am morning out jogging after not being able to sleep. It was a looonnnnngggg flight home, but great to have Aaron meet me at the airport (thanks Aaron!) and take my tired body home. The rest of that week was a bit of a blur with men's speaking appointments, fundraiser dinner and family catch up. I'm still somewhat tired but happy and for those reading this, PRAY for Phil Williams and the huge needs of the European surfing community. We need more staff, money and leadership to take this on.

Surf Report Dinner Summary

Thanks to all of you who attended our recent annual report and dinner and for the many well-wishers who could not attend.

We had a great night with each of the 100 available seats filled at the great venue of the Manly Pacific Novotel. The view of the beach was matched with the decor of the meeting room as a history of surfboards and a history of Christian Surfers adorned the walls in the form of boards, shirts and posters.

We were entertained by a band made up of local CS members, led by Tom, and an enlightening talk from ASP Chairman, Richard Grellman, whose tips on Men's and Women's world champions were absolutely correct!

We were engaged with the auction items, including handmade Alaia boards and bowls by BD and others, and we were inspired with the account of the world mission movement of Christian Surfers by BD and his interviews with those engaging at each end of the surfing spectrum:

• Abe Andrews shared about life on the road with the Men's ASP World Tour. Tragically his services were called upon big time directly following, with the death of Andy Irons. We're so glad to have had a chaplain in place there.
• Murray Bothma shared what it was like to be a 17-year-old volunteer leader in a local mission reaching out to no-name groms, whom God loves equally.

We were encouraged to share in the mission financially, and 5 new partners signed up totalling $5,700pa, with another $1,300 donated and $3,500 raised in the auction.

If you have not signed up as a partner yet, you still can on our website at:  http://www.christiansurfers.net/Partnership.aspx

We look forward to two events next year, one on the Gold Coast on March 26 and again in Sydney in October.

God bless you and thank you for your support,
Brett Davis and the CSI team

CSI Surf Report Dinner Tonight!

Well this is our second annual dinner and we are excited about the 100 people coming along to Manly Novotel Pacific Hotel in 5 hours time. I have made a couple of alaia boards and some bowls as silent auction items and local artists Shaun Anderson and Jackson Forbes did some artwork for me on them. Thanks to Dave, Chongy and Jeffro from Misfit for donating a board, along with Craig Bruce of Ocean Extremes. Awesome thanks to Zion Wetsuits as well! I will write up a summary soon.

Davis Diary: September 2010

This is our quarterly update and thought I would share it with you all......

BD Soapbox

I have had as a personal theme this year "More of the power and presence of Jesus"….still wondering just what that means? Our international conference guest speaker Tim Meyers made much of how "our most defining attribute is to be the presence of Jesus" based on Heb 3:6 "You are god's house". Amazing to hear tim unpack the scriptures of Gods history as he indwelt a tent, a tabernacle a temple,  all of which were mere symbols of his ultimate dwelling place……"Christ in you, the hope of glory" Col 1:27. I can scarcely believe it, can you? That the most powerful presence in allthe universe lives in us? What difference should this make? Is your life most characterized by the presence of Jesus?  BD

  

BD travels.

May Just when you want to fly to the European conference, a random Icelandic volcano shuts down the airspace of a continent! The meeting went really well without me, and I enjoyed more time at home. 

June "This team has not just built a home, you have helped rebuild a community" Mitch Anderson Chile.  Sometimes God gets on your case about something He really wants you to do. I could not resist the promptings re the needs of  the southern Chilean surfing community after the devastating earthquake and added a small detour to my North America meetings. I was amazed once I stepped out how the finances flowed for the Homes of Hope project as I fundraised with film and food night and paddle a thon. I was able to fly in, buy new tools, build a house with team to lock up stage, surf 4-6' waves at Punta de Lobos and fly out, all in 4 days. In Florida with Cal Fisher we had training for our emerging national movements with Peru, Costa Rica, El Salvador and USA present. "Now I have a road map to help me develop a national movement and I feel so much more confident" Denis Leon Costa Rica.

July "Sorry Mr Davis that flight is oversold and you will not be able to fly to Chile" I was standing there in Auckland airport dumbfounded with donated boards, wetsuits and tools to deliver for the `Homes of Hope' project and sent away check in for next flight - in 2 days time!! Final seconds and I got a miracle seat….not sure why God waits to that final second? You gotta love a team of fired up Brazillian leaders set on an island retreat to dream and plan for the future of CS there. I was able to give some guidance and received much inspiration. Sergio is an amazing pastoral leader, deeply loved and stepping up to his South America role. This trip had some tough features with a sprained ankle, lack of sleep and a cancelled plane on the way home adding another 10 hrs to the flight. "Now we have added a strategy to take our movement forward" Mauri Brazil.

August Indonesian International Conference. "We are a new mission and I never knew just how much God was doing throughout CS globally until now" Nacho Argentina. With 185 leaders from 16 nations this was our 9^th conference and first in Asia and in a restricted access country. Highlights included:- cultural welcome by Gamalong music and dancers; amazing worship; Ado and Dave and Shinko Levey testimony of pioneering CS Indo and Japan missions; Tim Meyers preaching; laughing at the Welsh boys accents; laughing at everyone else not understanding the aussie accents of MC Dan and Foz; surfing together at Ulus; united vision about reaching the lost surfing tribes. Lowlights included:- Gill getting sick for 10 days and missing conference; BD missing Gill; constant reminder of idolatry; crowded surf; too many people to catch up with!

BD Romance and Bootcamp. "25 years ago I didn't have any money, I didn't have a ring and you never had a proposal story, but that is about to change". In a rush of romantic spontaneity I surprised Gill with a proposal and 25^th wedding anniversary eternity ring before 400 women at a womens' conference she was attending. I am sooooo thankful for her love, friendship and support. "in 40 years of church attendence I have never seen such a depth of men's ministry" Terry Austinmer. Our third men's "Bootcamp" in July with 5 weeks of challenging men's topics to over 80 guys. I spoke on "A Man and His Romance" backed by Gillian the Brave who spoke on "Things Women Wish Men Knew About Women".  Plenty of notes being taken.

Gill battles on in Schools. "Miss, why do you hate homosexuals?" It only gets tougher. Ethics course being pitched as an alternative, rude year 8/9 kids, bigoted and biased audience with little facts, teacher opposition etc etc. Still, Gill got to share her heart for Special Religious Education to the entire staff and got a round of applause at the end!

Jackson Vietnam Theatre. "They walk out if they aren't happy, and most stayed, so it must have been ok?"Amazing enough to be given opportunity as a first year to write and perform his own play, Jackson then went on to perform it at a World Festival in Vietnam on behalf of his university. A rush of fundraising and rehearsals and they made it. I think racing around on motor scooters was the most life threatening.

Taylor "I live for Balance" has become his celebrity status? Want to buy a tshirt? He has completed an amazing film project for Drama and musical composition for Music, but still no ideas of what to do next. A gap year is certain and many adventures ahead of the `tdogg' and all the more with his recent drivers licence!! Look out for the "Balance" empire! 

India Movements. "I love going to school, it's the BEST!"After much heartache and searching India moved from ICS to our local Bulli High School. She is very, very happy and loves being back with old friends and part of her community. Dancing is her love and she has endless joy, social energy and always a new `best friend'. 

Calvin. "9 years and you would have thought I deserved some clothing item by now?" It has been a cold winter and after watching him shivering away, we purchased Calvin's first item of clothing – a coat! All these years clothed in but a collar!? He maintains faithful watch over all and especially any in `sick bay'.

CSI Partners Dinner. Our 2^Nd formal partners dinner is on October 23^rd at the Manly Pacific Hotel. We have more opportunities opening up than we can meet and so CSI needs more financial partners! Guest speaker ASP chairman Richard Grellman, BD's update, Abe Andrews the ASP chaplain and more all share stories over a great meal and live music. Purchase tickets on http://www.christiansurfers.net/Shop.aspx?ID=34. Come and bring another!

Groundswell Conference: Day 6

Well it’s a wrap up day. We announce next conference will be in … drumroll… Hawaii!! Many excited squeals and high-fives!

Final thank you and farewells and people already moving out. It’s been an exhilarating and exhausting 6 days. 

BD’s final word picks up on the groundswell theme that we don’t want to ride a locally generated windswell but rather the far, distant, powerful groundswell that pushes through regardless of local circumstances. The groundswell of God’s Holy Spirit in us. 

Many fond farewells and we will see each other again in 2012 or before or even in heaven.  Special thanks to Rich Agius and Australaisia team. Awesome job by Ado and Indo team. Ever diligent CSI team with Aaron, Beck and Kelly. 

Keep riding the groundswell to all the nations. See you in Hawaii!

Groundswell Conference: Day 5

Today is Australasia and Pacific day. We see proud Aussie flags & tattoos everywhere and our MC’s Fozz and Dan from Cronulla are virtually impossible to understand by our foreign delegates. Funniest of all was Cal Fisher stating that Dan might as well be speaking Greek…. And Cal is from the USA! 

Rich Agius helped us see the challenges of Asia where we will engage with Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, many SW strategies needed. 

Tim Meyers challenged us to a life of faith from Hebrews 11 taking us back to the future with Abram who was told to go, even when he didn’t know WHERE nor WHEN. We are to live with heaven as our citizenship and sojourners through earth. Getting somewhere in God means leaving somewhere. We finished in Revelation 22 at the end of time with the presence of God renewing the nations in heaven, and we are to participate in this now. Wow.

Great conference photos done. Such a range of flags and nations. 

More amazing strategy stories from CSUS and Lyle, how a guy makes his way from being lost to a leader in the national movement. Jodene powerfully shares the women ministry in Australia. Mel relates how Fiji short term missions transforms lives. Cal engages with a surfer church plant that leaves most of us envious.

Communion Indonesian style with special rice and holy water is a highlight then it’s full tilt rejoicing and worship with a mosh pit up front!

Groundswell Conference: Day 4

Today is Americas Day so we were treated to all kinds of exotic candy and exposed to the vast array of Latin American unreached surfing nations, while our Brazilian sisters sang a song, flags all flying.

Tim Meyers took us deeper. It’s not enough just to “be” with the presence of God, we also need to do something. He challenged us with the parable of the servants from Matthew 25:

1. God has invested in you
2. God is not fair and gifts us differently
3. God has given us all we need to be successful, so stop comparing yourself with others & get on with it.

Our small groups are working well and it helps to check in each day with what we are learning. Good honest stuff. More strategy workshops and more challenges. We could debate for days!

Sickness continues to strike down people and prayer team in full swing. Gill Davis has barely been seen. The swell has reached 4-6’ and it’s all go to the Bukit. Some 40 of us descend on a quiet closeout that lives up to it’s name but all manage to enjoy. It’s bizarre to see a conservative Hindu ceremony in the midst of a liberal tourist spot.

Another great worship session. Our Indonesian band admits they didn’t think it possible a group of surfers would engage in worship and are amazed at the intensity. Sergio engages the Peruvian guys & also fire cracker Nacho from Argentina. So much passion.

Cal let’s us hear from Alvaro Marvez our Costa Rican brother, entering new era of a movement. Sergio is our CS speaker and we are challenged to believe God wants MORE for us than we can imagine. His story of the Surfers Bible and Surf House testify to this.

We also got late news the CSUS National Director Dean Plumlee has had a baby girl! Go Amy!

Groundswell Conference: Day 3

Tuesday was Europe day and we heard some mad Welsh accents, considered the lost surfing nations of the Cape Verde Islands, Germany, Italy, etc and Phil Williams gave an amazing report of the growth of our mission. Europe is where surfing is growing the fastest whilst the church is declining - our most needy continent.

Tim Meyers challenged us as to what is true “calling” (basically salvation), that the house of God is a place of meeting (and we see the transition from an empty field to a tent to a tabernacle), and that our most distinguishing feature is to have the essence of God. We are a stairway connecting heaven and earth!! All blown away.

Sickness began to descend on us with Bali belly taking its  toll on many wives - Gill Davis copping the worst of it! We broke into strategy streams and what stimulating discussion; from church panting to chaplaincy to leadership training. Much to digest there.

The hotel has proved to be a great venue with ample space for kids and families, some rotating surf time between husband and wife was noted. Small waves at Canggu and Uluswas were surfed in the free time.

That night we heard the amazing testimony of David and Shinko Levey our Japan pioneers. David exhorted us to the KFC principles of kalling, faithfulness and character. So challenging.

Hardly a dry eye hearing Goto’s testimony of being rescued from the dispair of suicide to life in Christ!

Roy Harley also pitched the internship school, a great model we might expand upon. It was another late night up talking but hopes were high for a swell in the morning.

Groundswell Conference Underway

We held four days of meetings with the International Leadership Team and had a great time reuniting as friends, talking through many issues and making some strategic decisions. Alan Vink once again led us through some excellent training.

We scored some waves up to 6-8' at our Indo location. I award 63-year-old Cal Fisher with the gutsiest effort charging some solid barrels on his first Indo experience...sure hope I'm still doing this at his age!

A number of the wives and kids also connected well. Attending a local dance and music on sunset at the point was extra special. We then relocated to the conference centre and met with the Board of Directors and agreed upon our strategic plan and budget. I'm stoked at the calibre of men and women we have in leadership.

Next day (Saturday 21st) we had our full representative Council Meeting, 30 members from 15 nations. Gill shared a great word from Acts 17 challenging us to hold to our convictions that will give us clarity to see our society for what it really is and then have the courage to confront it. Again it is a very special group of national leaders. We welcomed Argentina and Sri Lanka along for the first time.

People streamed in all day Sunday from around the world and it was a wonderful family reunion. Our key wives had a special catch up under Gill's leadership and laughed and cried through the morning. I took India along for a massage.

Ado arranged an amazing local greeting complete with Gamelan band and traditional dancers, our most unique welcome ever! We have over 185 leaders from 16 nations ranging from Switzerland to Peru to South Africa to Costa Rica and despite us coming from many nations - we are one family.

Today I write this summary from our hotel room next to Gill who is real sick with a fever. Trusting healing comes. Our boys are home alone and I believe both our dog and chickens are surviving under their care?

We heard from our guest speaker Tim Meyers who challenged us from Hebrews 3:6, "we are his house," and exploring the true nature of the church and our part in God's work

Keep praying for us personally as well as the meetings. My prayer is that something of eternal value would be deposited in every person... Please join me! Stay tuned. bd

Leaving for Indo Today

Well, its finally here, our 9th International Conference will be held in Indo next week. I leave today at 5:30pm to join with my six-man International Leadership Team (ILT) for four days of meetings. We plan to work hard and play hard (which I hope translated means a few good waves!)

Its been a crazy last minute rush of registrations and Richo, Steffne, Aaron and team have been doing a good job coping with this...what is it with surfers?! We have over 180 from 14 nations coming and I am looking forward to a time of 'family reunion', great reports, strategic planning, vision casting and some waves together. More to come as I hope to update each day! Picture from our last meeting in 2008 in J-Bay, South Africa. bd

Brazil Visit July 2010

"Sorry Mr Davis this flight to Chile is oversold you have to fly in two days time." I had no hope of getting on standby and my connecting flight to Brazil would be lost! I was sooooo down, and was still praying as I stood rebooking my flight. At the final, final minute, a last second call had me madly running to the gate and I got on! I was 25kg overweight but being so late they ignored this and the donated boards, wetsuits and tools for our CS contact and Homes of Hope, Nathan Anderson. All went through....... Stay tuned for an upcoming short-term mission trip to Chile in February 2011.

After shedding my supplies as surf mule, I went onto crazy Sao Paulo with 20 million Brazilians. It is an endless sea of high rise apartments. I spent the first three days with our uniquely calm 'unbrazillian' Sergio Busatto, our South America Regional Coordinator. We met with his pastor and his church who are a great example of kingdom mindedness and have released him to serve in mission. So good to be face to face as much is lost in email in a second language! Great to attend a local CS mission just starting and being hosted in the home of a seeking surfer who is deciding to follow Jesus - go Roberto!

Along with the Brazil Regional Coordinator Cezar, we headed south to Curitiba and after 5 hours got thoroughly lost. Arriving late and flustered I had no idea what to say. God gave me a timely message with 130 there! "Back to the Beach!!" As if this were not a large enough CS meeting (probably the biggest local weekly meeting I have attended), they actually met in a baptist church that seats a mere 6000? So many big churches in Brazil.

Next morning we left with South Brazil Regional Leader Mauri and headed to his island retreat for 3 days on Ilha do Mel. No cars, no mobile reception, no rush. Just 4 key leaders from the nation discussing the future of the mission. Brazillian debate is similar to most sporting activity - loud, passionate, confusing...... but everyone is friends afterwards. And of course they love to show off their world class BBQ and we laughed a night away. I sprained an ankle on the second day and hobbled about which kept me out of the water, but into more discussion with some of the key women.....and surprise, surprise the same male/female issues abound. Thanks for caring for me Susana, Anna and Paloma.

A final debrief day with Sergio and farewell dinner with wonder wife Kika and I headed home. I was now 'Bible mule' back to Chile and Nathan collected Surfers Bibles at the airport.

I was averaging 4-5 hours sleep a night so a lot of time to think and reflect, feeling God speaking into me.....or was I simply delirous from fatigue? Arriving home again, again, again I realize I've spent a quarter of my life jetlagged for the past 8 years. Amazingly God seems to sustain and inspire. Thanks for those who prayed and 'gaved' for this trip. Off in 2 weeks time for our 9th International Conference in South East Asia with Gill and India. Thanks again my Brazil friends. bd

Home Safely

Well got on at LAX on business class thanks to an upgrade by a friend! Sooooo good to fly this way, but it ruins economy forever. My last day was a bender, up at 3am, off to airport for 7am flight, then network meeting at San Diego, up to LAX for flight out at 10:30pm and long trip home. I was tired but happy.

Writing in my journal I was reflecting on so many things. The Chilean need, how to mobilise surfers for service; the many needs of our emerging national movements and how fragile and under-resourced we seem to be; the great kingdom minded friends at Walking on Water and churches like Beachside and North Coast Calvary Chapel and others.

I love the passion and conviction of the Latin Americans. I love the 'can do' attitude and intentional strategy of the USA brothers. I love getting people together, helping them connect, assisting their success, and not getting in God's way too much.

Thanks to all you sponsors and supporters who helped the Chilean project and we are planning on returning in February 2011 to build, assist in a surf contest, participate in a surf camp all contributing to the establishment of Christian Surfers Chile...and a whole lot of fun as well. Maybe you want to join us?
