International Mission Development Fund
2008 Projects
- 2008 Spanish Surfers Bible. Spanish is the most spoken surfing language in the emerging surfing world! The Spanish Surfers Bible is a surfer friendly New Testament with culturally relevant Latin testimonies. Estimated costs are US$30,000 for 10000 copies. $US150 will provide a box of 40 Bibles to give away. Currently $4000 has been collected.
- Seed money for investigative short-term missions to emerging surfing nations. CSI has identified some 40 emerging surfing nations from Morocco to Taiwan and the best way to find contacts is to pray and GO! $US1000 will help mobilize a short-term mission to some unreached nation. $40000 would get us to all of them!
- International Regional Coordinators ministry expenses. Our leadership is our biggest asset. We are a faith financed mission, no salaries are paid, and related ministry expenses have to be raised as well. Help an RC to visit the missions in their region. $US5000 travel funding is being sought for six RC’s, total $US30000. $8000 has been collected so far.
- International Leadership Scholarships. Made is 20, a convert from a Hindu background in Bali and currently working on staff with Christian Surfers Indonesia in their Youth Centre. It is vital for Made to attend the 2008 CSI International Conference in South Africa, but the costs are impossible for either himself or his small church to meet. You can help Made and others like him as we help raise funds for leaders from struggling economies. We are looking for 20 scholarships of $US300 each, and 5 travel scholarships of $US1000. Total $11000. Currently $2000 has been collected.
- The Surfers Guide to God is an evangelistic gospel of Mark (to be released with the new English Surfers Bible). With colour surfing cover and inserts of famous surfer testimonies, this gospel includes a challenge to respond and tips for growth. $100 will enable 100 copies to give away. $3000 in total being sought.

Donor agreement regarding use of IMDF funds
Christian Surfers aims to complete all projects mentioned in its promotional material. If this is impossible (for example, because of something unexpected happening), gifts to the Fund for that project may be applied to other uses consistent with the overall purpose of the Fund, with a priority to completing any existing funding commitments. If more money is raised for a particular project than is actually needed, the same policy applies - excess funds may be applied to other uses consistent with the overall purpose of the Fund.
