In this episode of the Christian Surfers Talk Story, host Mark Sawyer-Chu sits down with longtime friend and surf missionary Chris Chon at the 2025 Christian Surfers International Gathering in Bali last year.
Chris shares his powerful testimony - from growing up in Southern California with a troubled family background to finding Jesus in Alaska of all places, and eventually pioneering Christian Surfers Taiwan. He opens up about the challenges and breakthroughs of surf ministry in Asia, the early days of planting a team in Taiwan, and his new role as East Asia Coordinator for Christian Surfers International. Ironically, Mark is of Taiwanese descent.
You’ll hear stories of surfing next to temples, building grassroots movements with just a few people, and the vision for raising up national leaders across Asia. Chris also shares prayer requests, future plans, and how others can get involved in this exciting kingdom work.
