    Serving while surfing - Steve

    This episode Amy introduces us to a man whose Christian journey has involved vast amounts of soil and salt - with a few goats thrown in. Steve Campbell didn't know where God was going to take him. He just preferred that it would be outdoors. God honoured that and took him into the line-up of a local beach, and on to surfing as a ministry. Salt is proudly brought to you by Sydney Missionary and Bible College.
