| The Aftermath of the Tsunami which has destroyed many lives (Photo:Herald Sun) |
Not long after the Quiksilver Pro concluded on the Gold Coast, not far from home a huge tsunami washed through the northern coast of Japan and obliterated everything in its path. Without much warning many homes and people were swallowed up in the massive wave. Lize and I had just visited Japan during our Christmas break. To have experienced the beauty of this place and its people and then to see these images on the TV has been shocking. There have been many disasters around the globe this year (Flooding here in Australia, Earthquake in Christ Church and Tsunami in Japan) I can't help but feel hopeless in these situations. However we can pray and we can give. I would like to encourage you to give in this time of need to the tsunami victims.

Christian Surfers International shared this recently:
“Food is running low, people are stockpiling petrol and the threat of nuclear contamination is our biggest fear. Even as far away as Tokyo there is some panic. We found a lady who owned a car sale yard who donated some petrol, so I am about to drive a truck with food and water north 6 hours to the exclusion zone. There we will drop it off at a local church for distribution.”
