Our Team
Roy Harley
International Director
"I was at an international Christian Surfers conference where we had been challenged to seek God about where he wanted us to go, and which tribe he wanted us to reach. In front of me were over 100 surfers from numerous nations lost in worship. Just then BD the founder of our movement came alongside me putting his arm around my shoulder and looking at the crowd he said, 'This is the pearl of Great Price Roy this is the true treasure in a field.' Rarely have I felt God's Spirit speak so clearly to me as he did at that moment. I knew the surf tribe was the one he wanted me to share his love with, and I have been trying to do that ever since.”Roy was the pioneering National Director of CS South Africa and has been in full-time ministry for most of his adult life. A visionary social entrepreneur at heart, Roy is married to Sharon with daughter Cailyn and son Nathan. When asked what his job is he will tell you it's the International Froth Cultivator for Christian Surfers. If he's not answering his phone, it's likely he is in a 'Board Meeting' in the ocean, riding his favourite wave, Supertubes, Jeffreys Bay.

He brings a lifetime of experience and contacts and is forever networking with CS and other agencies worldwide.

APAC Regional Coordinator
My parents named me “Kirk” which means “of the church”. This has resonated through my life because for as long as I can remember I’ve lived and breathed a deep love for the Church, Gods people. And by God-incidence I met my soul mate Mel who lives and breathes the same love. Together we have four amazing and adventurous groms. As a family we see this new chapter of co- laboring with the Holy Spirit and with Christian Surfers as a pleasure and profound privilege. Getting barrelled around the globe of course is an added bonus. We are so excited to serve the nations in the Asia and Pacific region and witness Gods reality change lives!Luis Gutierrez
