Two Great Movies You Should See

It is not often that we see faith based surf film that were not produced by Walking On Water Films and this month we actually saw two that were really great! The Perfect Wave and Thundercloud are both movies that we would like to suggest you watch. They are both great movies for anyone who loves surfing and loves God or needs some true encouragement. The movie Thundercloud tells the powerful true story of missionaries sharing their faith to the people living on Tavarua island in Fiji and the bonus is you get to see the biggest swell possibly in history hit the Island. The Perfect Wave movie shares the powerful testimony of a surfer who only cared about finding the perfect wave but God had other plans. You can buy The Perfect Wave in Walmart and you can find Thundercloud by going to: www.onepalmmedia.com

C3 Church in Sydney hosted a pre screening of Beyond Sight lately to get all the leaders ready for the Australia tour that will most like happen in November of 2014. Derek Rabelo and Bryan Jennings recently visited 12 schools and many churches in Orange County encouraging many people and inviting them to the movie theater.

Australia Beyond Sight Movie Promo Trip Update

As our team was busy finishing the final edit of the Beyond Sight movie and planning the US theater release we received an invitation from Australia that we could not pass up. On November 14th Derek Rabelo along with Bryan Jennings and his family traveled to Sydney to be the special guests at the Stand Tall event and at the C3 Church services. The Stand Tall event had over 1,200 enthusiastic students and it was the first of what turned out to be twenty guest speaking opportunities at schools and churches. During their very productive time in Australia they hosted a pre screening of Beyond Sight to leaders in Sydney, shared Derek's story with over 5,000 people, saw over 120 people make first time decisions to follow Jesus Christ, and developed a very special core leadership team who will be planning the Australia premiere and tour of the Beyond Sight movie in 2014. We can't thank everyone enough for their support in Australia! For more information on the Australia tour in 2014 please email [email protected]. The World Premiere of Beyond Sight will be in Newport Beach, California in February or March of 2014 (Date to be announced soon). This premiere will launch the world tour of the movie to Australia, Hawaii, and other locations.

Night of Hope in San Elijo Hills CA

What a night of Glorifying Jesus Christ in public!We experienced a wonderful evening of sharing the gospel with a little less than 200 people on the baseball field. It was a reverent evening, manyhearts were encouraged and some unexpected lives changed. When the invitation was given, about 25 people walked across the field, all the way up to the stage. There is no telling what was happening in the hearts of those who stayed in the outfield. We heard weeping all over the field during the Billy Graham video “Defining Moments” and during the invitation to make decision for Christ, and God only knows whose hearts were turned toward Him and added to the Lambs Book of Life in Heaven.

As the night closed some really unique 1^st time salvation stories emerged and even some of thesetup and breakdown crew members were deeply affected and asking us for prayer. It was awesome to see Jesus lifted up and glorified in a public arena, and the word of God through Billy Graham’s voice echoing all throughout the hills; “Today, is the day of salvation, choose this day, whom you will serve!” [emphasis mine]

To summarize in a few words. This night was a work of the Holy Spirit, a labor of love, and a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving pleasing to the Lord. I know each of you would gladly spendyourselves again for just one soul. For what is the cost of one soul saved from the pit of hell, worth? A cold night on a field, missing one Sunday night relaxing at home, an inconvenient drive to North county, passing out door hangers, Jesus gave it all and so did you!!

So thank you for your prayers, time, talents, resources, and pouring your servant hearts into this outreach – without your willing and obedient hearts to step out in faith it would have never came together in such a short period of time.

This is not the end, it’s only the beginning of what the Lord has started in our community. Now, the work begins, to keep praying for those who came to new faith in Christ, following up and disciplining these new babes in Christ. Calls and text have been pouring in from some of them already.

Beautifully Flawed Retreat

Friends of Bethany Hamilton hosted a weekend retreat for young women with limb loss. Walking on Water and Surf Sessions hosted the surf lesson for the first annual Beautifully Flawed retreat on Saturday, October 5, 2013. The girls were nervous and excited as they watch a demonstration by pro surfer and fellow amputee, Bethany Hamilton. Anticipation soon turned to reality as each girl hit the water accompanied by volunteer surfers and lifeguards. The waves at Del Mar beach were the perfect size for learning and every girl inspired the beach by their courage, perseverance, and joy in riding waves! A few of the girls shocked us by their natural talent and even charged some waves on the outside!

“When we were planning the Beautifully Flawed retreat, we wanted it to be evangelistic, inspirational, and practical. I am thrilled to say that after the weekend is over, we accomplished each of these goals.

Many of the girls and their families have told me that the retreat was life changing for them.

Bethany and Lauren are able to relate to and speak to these young women in a way few other people can. Overall, we were all blown away with the weekend and the effects it had on all the girls and all of our staff as well!” Katie Ancheta, Friends of Bethany Hamilton Foundation

"I could not believe how well the girls did! Bethany and I were both expecting them to need much more help than they did! It was one of the most inspirational things I have ever seen in Surfing." Bryan Jennings

“Only weeks after Bethany Hamilton's shark attack accident her brother Noah gave me a phone call. Since that phone call our families have become very good friends and have worked together to produce and help distribute the Heart of A Soul Surfer documentary, Walking on Water movie, Soul Surfer feature film, and currently the Beyond Sight movies to the world! Bethany and I have done many outreach events together, but when I heard about how Friends of Bethany organization planning this Beautifully Flawed girls retreat I knew it would be the most powerful ministry event Bethany had ever done!”-Bryan Jennings

Friends of Bethany is a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing the hope and love of Jesus Christ worldwide by supporting and inspiring people through the life stories of Bethany Hamilton and others.

"There is so much that you can do. There is so much life after limb loss. She can recover from this attack and lead a very full life," says Katie Ancheta, Friends of Bethany Hamilton Foundation Executive Director.

Beautifully Flawed is a retreat that invited young women with limb loss to come together for an intimate retreat. The retreat focused on finding beauty even in their scars, and also shared practical tips for girls with limb loss.

Israel Update

Our last trip to Israel went amazing! We had a great team and a great time ministering back in the land where it all began. Our main ministry focus was to premiere the Promised Land movie in three locations and to make ourselves available to the Israelis we met along the way. The three locations were Jaffa, Haifa and Nahariya and took place in bars--right where Jesus wanted us. Our little team was a light to an area of Israeli society that is lost and broken and desperately needs the love of Jesus. Contrary to common belief most Israelis do not know much, if anything at all, about Jesus. This is hard for a lot of Christians to believe since we know that Jesus was an Israeli himself and lived and ministered to the Jewish people in Israel. For most of those in the audience it may have been their first exposure to Jesus!

After each premiere we gave a Promised Land DVD to everyone in the audience. Please pray with us that each person who saw the movie would revisit the DVD and that the Father would lead them to Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus the Messiah). Pray also that the DVD’s would circulate around the country and would reach many people with its message.
