Blog Talk Radio Interview with Kristi Overton Johnson
Kristi Overton Johnson is a water skiing legend. She is an 8-time U.S. Masters Champion and a 4-time U.S. Open Women’s Slalom Champion. She has held the world record in women’s slalom since 1992 and has been ranked #1 in the world more times than any other professional women’s slalom competitor in history. But the most amazing thing about her career is that she has achieved much of her success despite the presence of a birth defect that limits her ability to walk and run without pain.

There are many costs associated with our ministry - and every offer makes a difference in someone's life. We deeply appreciate all of our partners and their investment!
As I was running this morning on the river trail near our house, with the snow coming down,I was hit with this incredible feeling of being so blessed. However, I also had a sense of urgency as I looked ahead of the many things yet to be done.
Just like the trail I have logged so many miles on, there is a long half mile straight stretch at the end of the run. When you`re already tired and energy has been spent there`s that last bit of distance that still has to be covered.
Looking ahead to all the scheduling and preparation that needs to take place before the coming In His Wakes season it`s easy to get overwhelmed. But just like that last part of the trail it`s one step at a time as you keep your eyes on the One who "gives you renewed strength to soar like eagles!"

A packaged arrived at the door, thought it just another Christmas present I ordered for myself. HOWEVER, after opening I realized it was a gift but, not just for me. It was for everyone who has been part of In His Wakes over the past 22 years. You have helped make IHW the Ambassador it is today.
Thank you Centurion Boats for this incredible award recognizing In His Wakes for being your Ambassador of the year! It is an honor to partner with a company that has a mission statement of "Building boats to the glory of God!"
What a great Christmas present!

6 months ago we picked up this Ri230 from the Centurion Factory in Merced, CA. Today Dean Breitbach, Taylor King, Jim King and I had the privilege of sharing with the factory team how the boat they made was used this season to impact so many people across the country!
In His Wakes is truly blessed to have a company like Centurion Boats partner with us to bring the message of truth and life to the participants that attend our events.
