Today we will teach 20 something middle and high school students how to surf. Most of these students will actually surf before the camp is done today. Some won't surf but will have a better understanding of how to surf and they will be able to continue to practice on their own. It's awesome to watch a student catch their first wave and pop up and ride the wave.A little over ten years ago Steve Wise, one of NHC's pastors, decided to do something with what he is passionate about. The H of his shape is his heart, surfing is what Steve is passionate about. Steve loves to surf so he took this passion for surfing and combined it with his desire to reach people to discover life in Christ and Hukilau was born. This summer is Hukilau's tenth summer of teaching students to surf and sharing the gospel.
So in about a half hour from now I'll be loading up in the car to head to surf camp. I'm excited to see these kids learn to surf but I'm most excited that we are going to share the love of Jesus Christ with them today. Another awesome part of surf camp for me is watching a whole bunch of NHC partners serving in missions by serving at surf camp. It's rough but someone has to do missions on the beach.
What are you passionate about and how could that be used to reach people to discover life in Christ?

Ocean was perfect. Bunch of students popped up and rode the waves. The gospel was shared.
Another successful Hukilau Surf Camp.
I love Hukilau and the opportunities it brings to share Christ in an innovative way.
BTW, it is our 11th season. In the summer of '99, after the encouragement of Matt Glock, Steve had his first camp.
And the 10th anniversary board is awesome!
