JANNAH
GRAY was among seven girls and five guys from Christian Surfers
who volunteered to work for Surfing Victoria at the Rip Curl Pro
held at Bells Beach over Easter this year...
“We were working under Christian Surfers to help out Surfing
Victoria. For most of the days, we split our time between counting
all the visitors who came through the gates and working in the Surfing
Vic tent handing out flyers. The group of boys who helped out were
stuck in the heat in the car park attending vehicles, which turned
out to be a tedious job.
“Our biggest day saw over 6,000 people come through the gates.
That’s a lot of cars to park and a lot of people to count.
The girls and I got to meet many famous surfers: Kelly Slater, Occy
(Mark Occhilupo) and others. We also got to hang out with Tom Curran’s
little boy and met Mark Philippoussis and Delta Goodrem, which was
an added bonus.
“We work at the Rip Curl pro because as Christian Surfers
we want to serve the surfing community. At other events we usually
run hospitality tents serving free food and drinks. It’s a
way for we as Christian Surfers to
“God’s
presence is there whenever we do these things for Him and
others do notice. Please pray and support the work of Christian
Surfers - it’s a whole lot more than just surfing.
It’s all about people and building relationship and
the kingdom of God.”

serve and be a witness
to everyone involved in the surfing scene.
"We don’t ask
for anything in return but this year Surfing Victoria blessed us
for our time working at the Pro with a donation. It’s great
to see that we are really appreciated when we get a mention of thanks
at the presentations.
“God’s presence is there whenever we do these things
for Him and others do notice. Please pray and support the work of
Christian Surfers - it’s a whole lot more than just surfing.
It’s all about people and building relationship and the kingdom
of God.”
