Name: Nina
Role: CS full time staff 
Country: Taiwan 

Hi!  I came to faith after graduating University in 2018, through CS's surf ministry here in Taiwan. After that, I attended some equipping courses at YWAM for about 3 years, and felt led to do surf ministry full-time.

In Taiwan, the Christian population is less than 5%, and the coastline has less than 1%. Surfing is still a relatively new sport in Taiwan, and the surfing culture is still developing. We hope to be a light and salt for God in this process and shape a surfing culture that honors Him.

Every time I attended CS's conferences in the past,  I was able to interact with people from different countries, sharing with each other what we are doing and it has been very encouraging.  Especially meeting those where surfing has been around for a long time, with much experience in surf ministry, I am always inspired and I learn a lot. I try to bring back those insights and adapt them in a way that suits Taiwan.  I hope to keep learning and keep sharing Jesus through my passion for surfing.  

To make this trip possible, I need to raise 1000 usd for my conference fee and travel.  Thank you for your support and prayers!
