South Africa Conference







Just finished a three day Africa conference here at Jeffrey's Bay. Director Roy Harley was stoked to see 110 in attendance with the theme of "Empower the Ground". So many were encouraged to step up in their calling to go and serve. We also had to step up camping out next to the beach and I personally was housed in the Taj Mahal of tents c/o Roy.

Terryn Williams who narrated the "On the Rocks" outreach series spoke passionately about how we are saved not BY our good works, but saved FOR a life of good works prepared for us. Then we were also challenged to add effort to our God-given potential to see impact for God's kingdom. I was able to share the history of God's work in CS as well as the Foundations Training.

Some awesome Supertubes barrels were served up on Saturday morning and we even did a Paddleathon to raise funds for Japan which included some locals.

Wrapping up was some amazing worship and God was on the move in many hearts to get real and freshly surrender. There was an emotional farewell to co-founder of Son Surf, Andy Pitt, who is heading for ministry in Australia.

I personally so appreciate the long term faithfulness and friendship of Roy and the amazing CS Africa team. Heading home tomorrow, looking forward to seeing Gill and the family!
