Name: Deokhwan Heo
Role: National Secretary
Country: Korea

Amount needed: USD1,000 Deokhwan Heo is the national secretary for CS Korea. Originally a trained musician, his pursuit for surfing started a few years ago when he met with CS Korea’s national coordinator, Jeremy. Since his first encounter, he fell in love with surfing and in that same year he went through coaching training. He saw exactly what surfing had to offer to the young and lost generation in Korea. How it can be used as a vehicle to bring this generation to Jesus when surfing is still a trendy sport for the young people. 

Deokhwan is currently in between jobs, but this does not mean he is any less busy. He is fully devoted to growing the CS ministry in Korea, and often travels with Jeremy to the various surf spots building relationships and getting involved in the local surf communities. Besides the CS ministry, Deokhwan spends a lot of time serving at his church and would love an opportunity to come to the international gathering in Bali to learn how other Christian Surfers have built up their ministry and to connect with the fellow CS in Christ.

*Each donation will be met with a matching gift courtesy of Christian Surfers (up to $500AUD per nominee).

*If a team member can't attend the Gathering, their raised funds will be allocated to support other leaders fundraising for the event.
