Surfing The Nations...

a non-profit, humanitarian organization delivering the message of love and hope 
through the sport of surfing and acts of selfless service.
 
My girls are on their way to Hawaii right now with HDC Students to spend 
a week working with Surfing The Nations. Check out their website :)
We are excited to see how God uses this team of young people 
to impact their world for Christ while serving others.
They will be helping to feed the homeless, and working with inner city kids. 
I'm so excited for them!! Can you tell? :)

My older two boys came down from the camp their working at this summer
to see the girls off today.
Thanks guys! 
 
Have a wonderful weekend my friends :)
Aloha,
Marcia

    Your kids sound amazing. Here's praying for a safe trip and lots of wonderful contacts as they share the word of God. Can't wait for you to share their stories with us when they get home!

    What a wonderful group doing God's work! I know that I was really surprised at the number of homeless people in Hawaii! They weren't bothering anyone, just living homeless in the park:( It made me sad to see soooo many! I pray God's richest blessings on this group for helping others!

    Have a blessed day, HUGS!

    How wonderful for your daughters. To serve others and see Hawaii is the best of both worlds. Sounds like you guys have been real busy. I just love what you did with that chair. I can't believe it was ever some boring office chair. It looks great.
