Growing up in France with a missionary family & learning to mingle with strangers from a young age, Hosanna has become a natural people person and frother of THE LORD!

Captain, sailor, Jesus lover, Catamaran aficionado… we welcome Rob Arrand to the podcast- live form APAC gathering 2023. Originally from Arizona, Rob has spent the last 10 years living in Indonesia with his family on mission, and is now in the beginnings of a new project called Sail4Purpose… based in the remoter parts of Indonesia on a 65ft catamaran- sailing, surfing, spearing & giving back to local communities, the underlying intention of S4P has always been to share the gospel & grow the Kingdom. This is a snippet of Robs vision with the boat, and a call out to those that want to jump onboard- whether that be missional crew sowing into villages, or mad surfers & spearos that want to give back in their travels. There is room for everyone…

SWELL TIMES Ep 13// introducing….(drumroll please) our international director Roy Harley!!! Get amongst it kiddies we are diving deep into the life of Roy covering aqua dacks, bb guns, serving in places a loooong way away from the surf and dancing with the line. This man’s story will blow your mind. A keen spirit for adventure and taking risks has brought Roy into the relationship that He has with the Lord today. We get to discuss with him what it means to live as a 'satellite' orbiting the Lord’s ‘gravity’, living in the love of His grace and mercy.

Oh boy are we excited about this special guest! Trying to not get too star-struck cause this is the poddy with the humble Reef Heazlewood. We get to unpack with him the world of professional surfing (aqua bogs incl.) and what it means to put God first and give Him the glory. Reef’s dream with professional surfing has always been to use it as a platform to share the good news of Jesus Christ and to help others such as being an ambassador for International Needs Australia with his campaign ReefMakesWaves. Get amongst it!

Here's a small snippet of his story. Yew!

Dave Lovell (aka the Silver Fox) reflects on his many years contributing and serving the CS community. God has moved powerfully throughout Dave's life.

How can we intentionally cultivate "uncut" spaces for God to move in?
