The Barnabas Group's Impact on
Christian Surfers United States
What David Nehrig, National Director of Christian Surfers United States, thought was just another meeting began around a coffee table with a Barnabas Partner. David shared about the new role God had called him to. Around that table David shared his fears, insecurities, hopes and dreams.
David shares the story with us:
"I found myself in the desert feeling like Moses -- not sure why God called me. Why would he want me to lead this non profit organization? God, no not me! Send someone else!
The wiser, more mature Barnabas partner, Bill Erickson, simply listened and then asked questions. He shared his journey of how the Lord had been working in his life. After our time together, he connected me with another Barnabas partner, John Lind, who had 20 plus years of working with nonprofits and helping them raise awareness and support.
A week later, I was having another coffee meeting with a legend in the field of non profits. He spent time guiding me with thought provoking conversations of how to work with the board, the staff, the donors, and how to plan out the next few years of ministry. I left feeling like I could find my way out of the desert. I thank God everyday for using the Barnabas Group to help guide me and pass on such abundant wisdom.
I am almost 6 months into my new role as the Christian Surfers National Director for the United States and am so thankful God placed The Barnabas Group in my path as I launched."
