Grom Weekend Updates

Recently WOW hosted a GROM weekend for the girls and one for the guys! They were both super successful; here are some quick highlights from Katherine and Kyle:

About the GIRLS: The girls had so much fun together; we talked about “Spending yourself” out of Esther chapter 3. Specially, we talked about spiritual gifts. All of the girls took a spiritual gift test, which was fun, and helped them start thinking about their gifts and how they can use those gifts to “spend themselves” for others, and be the face of Jesus to those around them. We surfed, went to thrift stores, fellowshipped, and adventured all weekend long. We even had some time to meet up with the guys’ group at the campground! Overall, the girls were stoked and want to have a girls weekend every month!

About the GUYS: The GROM guys had such a cool weekend! It was great ministry, and great relationship-building with students. Everything ran smooth and all the kids seemed to leave having had a really fun time. We talked about prayer, and were blessed by having Clay Norian and Corey Colapinto share brief testimonies. We camped out all weekend and held “Grom Games” on Sunday morning: 15 minute Wavestorm surf heats followed by a wavestorm relay race and saltine cracker speed-eating, and Sprite-chugging contest. Pretty classic!

Overall the GROM weekends are proving to be a great blessing for both the girls and guys. We are excited to continue in the new year!

Surfers and Cowboys Filming Update

We are thankfully getting very close to finishing the Surfers and Cowboys movie! The story has been changing because of all that God has been doing in big wave surfer Aaron Gold’s life over the past year. We recently flew to Hawaii to film some of the remaining shots that we needed, including a reenactment of the day that Aaron almost lost his life in huge waves in Fiji. We still need to film a few important scenes with bull rider Zane Cook as well as raise the remaining funds needed to finish this movie. Sean Marin is busy editing and we hope to finish it by February 2017. To find out more about the movie or to make a donation please go to www.surfersandcowboysmovie.com

PipeMasters Commercial of Beyond Sight

 

The PipeMasters is the Super Bowl of surfing. There is no greater event to watch in the world, than surfers competing at the best and most beautiful wave on the planet. With over 7 million core surfers tuning in to watch the live webcast of the PipeMasters, we decided to give away the Beyond Sight Movie to everyone watching the contest. The draw of Derek’s dream to surf Pipeline has continued to be a huge light to the surfing community as thousands have tuned in to watch his story. Through your support, we feel so blessed during this Christmas season to be giving away a gift that again points to Jesus Christ.

Thanks to your generous support the Beyond Sight commercial on the Pipe Masters live webcast had a huge impact!  Each day people on the North Shore would tell us they saw our commercial and it opened up doors for us to share the Gospel.  Over 500,000 core surfers from around the world watched the commercial and the Beyond Sight movie was seen by thousands of surfers in over 50 countries!  Since 500,000 people saw the commercial and found out about the Walking On Water ministry we believe that we will continue to see the impact of the commercial in the coming months.  Having a presence at the Super Bowl of surfing is exactly what the Walking On Water ministry should continue to do in future years!
You can watch the 15 second commercial by clicking here, or below:
Thank you again for stepping out in faith with us on this project!  We hope to do it again next year!

“A Coastal Safari with Aaron Chang” featured on Forbes.com

Aaron Chang has partnered with the Four Seasons Residence Aviara hotel to create an epic vacation package for the hotels guests. It is a photo safari through Southern California led by Aaron Chang and hosted (quite luxuriously - white robes post surf session included!) by the Four Season’s concierge service. The crew travels through some of San Diego’s beautiful scenery and gets a first hand photo lesson from Aaron Chang himself.

Beginning with morning coffee on the coastal bluffs, and ending with a helicopter ride, it is pretty amazing. Walking On Water got to share in this safari by providing surfing lessons for the guests at one of our favorite photogenic beaches. For the first Photo Safari, Forbes.com writer David Hochman, his wife and son were the guests. He wrote an article describing the day and absolutely loved his time surfing with the WOW crew. One quote from that article: “Learn surf basics from Connor and Kyle from Walking on Water, a local surf school (It’s part of a Christian surf ministry but they don’t get preachy).” We were so glad the Hochmans enjoyed their lesson, and we actually got word that he and his family just might have purchased a surfboard for themselves after their session.

Surfers and Cowboys Movie Update

What I love about making documentary movies is seeing how God reveals the story as we step out in faith to film them. During each of the 12 Walking On Water films we have made major story changes during the filming stage due to real life circumstances. Our latest movie Surfers And Cowboys (currently in post production) has proven that trend to be true once again. Since we started filming two years ago one of our main characters, Aaron Gold, has had major events take place in his life. About 6 months ago, the entire surfing world watched in amazement as Aaron paddled into the biggest wave in history (63 feet documented by the Guinness Book Of World Records). Then a month later he split his head open surfing a much smaller wave. After healing for less than 8 weeks, he flew to Tavarua Island to catch a huge swell. He caught the first wave of the day and ended up being held under water for so long that he blacked out. Thankfully his big wave surfing friends miraculously rescued Aaron and he lived to tell the surf media how once again God had taken care of him! The Surfers and Cowboys movie is scheduled to be finished in December of 2016 and we will begin showing it in theaters in January of 2017! We still need to raise $50,000 so we can pay for the post production expenses and finish this special movie.

Surf Camp Update

“Amongst The Waves - Where is your faith in the storm?” 

This will be our camp theme for the summer of 2016! We believe that God has prompted this theme in our hearts and that He is going to use it to bring glory to His name and redemption to campers! Walking On Water as a ministry draws its name from the verses in Mathew 14 - Jesus sends his disciples out across a lake. A storm picks up against the disciples. It says that Jesus came out to His disciples “walking on the water”. Peter then says to Jesus “Lord if it is you, call me to come to you on the water”. He looks down at the waves, gets scared and needs Jesus to pull him up in the midst of the storm. We believe that this message will be powerful encouragement for our campers. We also believe that it will open the door for very real and honest conversations that will lead to life transformation. 

Overnight Camp spots are filling up fast! Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity! Dave Yearwood will be our Guest Speaker for the High School Overnight Camp - Dave is a wild, funny, slightly crazy human being with so much passion for Jesus and youth. 

Day Camps - We have one of the most amazing Counselor crews this summer! Our Counselor’s job is to make sure that your child has the time of their lives and to make sure that they are given the attention they need. Your child will know that they are valued and important to our Counselors. Because for our Counselors, camp is about much more than surfing and games.
