The Unexpected Surfer With Andrew Jakus | The Christian Surfers Podcast

In this one, Mark Sawyer-Chu (@thestokelife) sits down with Andrew (@AmityAndrew) from the newly formed Christian Surfers Wisconsin team, as he shares the early story of launching a brand-new surf ministry chapter in the heart of the Great Lakes. What makes this conversation so unique is the setting - surf culture far from the ocean, where Lake Michigan becomes both the playground and the mission field. Andrew unpacks how a simple vision for fellowship, surfing, and outreach has quickly grown into a movement of people responding to what they believe God is building in their region. From an initial vision-casting breakfast hosted at home, to 27 responses of interest and leadership willingness, the momentum has been unmistakable. What began as a handful of conversations has turned into a committed leadership group gathering for meals, prayer, and planning as they prepare to launch their first official CS Wisconsin campout.

Andrew shares:
🌊 How the vision for CS Wisconsin came together through prayer
🌊 Building surf ministry in a non-traditional surf region
🌊 The reality of distance, logistics, and unity across a vast inland region
🌊 The prayer, obedience, and discernment behind starting from the ground up This episode is a powerful reminder that surf mission is not limited by geography - and that God can build community, purpose, and momentum even in the most unexpected places.

Huge thanks to everyone supporting the launch of Christian Surfers Wisconsin and to the broader Christian Surfers movement for continuing to reach surfers with the hope of Jesus around the world.
