Egypt. God keeps putting it in front of me. I have committed to going in 2009 if that is what God wants and if my Dr's. say go for it. I don't foresee them objecting other than normal health reasons that one encounters in Egypt. Pastor Doug Warwick from Calvary Ahwatukee is pursuing starting an orphanage there and I told him that when he goes I will accompany him. I told the people at Sunday night service of C.C.A.s plans and of mine. I would like at least two people from our church to come on this trip with me as reps of Calvary Chapel A.J.. I don't know if there will be any restrictions on who can go or the number of people we can bring, so pray and seek the Lord if He puts this on your heart.
Calvary Chapel East Mesa /A.J.. The Apache Junction Baptist Church has voted to merge with us. It is basically a done deal. Just some legal stuff to do. We will remain a Calvary Chapel affiliate. You may have seen here and there we are beginning to phase in a new name. We want to retain some of the flavor of those who have been diligent in serving the Lord since the founding of this church and we also want to reflect what the Lord has done through Calvary. Therefore you will begin to see the name Apache Junction Bible Chapel, or just A.J. Bible Chapel used more often until we transition out both of the old names. The Dove logo will remain that will not change. Business (the Lord's business) as usual. I will attempt to keep you informed as things develop.
Israel, We would like to put together an Israel Tour slated for 2010. No set plans or date just a year. If the Lord tarries, the economy doesn't collapse or in other words if it's His will we will go. Pray for His direction in this endeavor.
Health. Went and had a cat scan today. They want to see how the vascular system is doing from the abdomen on down. For those of you who don't know, my body likes to produce blockages and aneurysms. They recently found an aneurysm behind my left knee that needs surgery. These do not usually pop causing a person to bleed out but collapse cutting off blood flow to the lower extremity thus requiring amputation. I am fond of my lower leg and would rather take it to heaven with me rather than meet it there. The technician was pc and told me the Dr. would tell me the results. So at this point I am waiting on the Dr.s office to contact me with an office appointment or to schedule a date for surgery. I have been told so far that it is a pretty cut and dry proceedure (no pun intended), and that I will be walking almost immediately. Full recovery is usually about 4 - 6 weeks, that means you don't even feel any effects from it anymore. They said that I would not even have to be out of the pulpit, but we will see depending on the date they do it.

Glad to hear that they finally looked at your leg and that you will hear from them soon on what is going on. As for Egypt and Israel, we will pray that God's will will be done and that those whom he has appointed to go will sign up and heed God's call. That is also really cool that you guys are merging with The Baptist Church, I love Greg and all the old people. They also have a heart for God that would be a great asset to our church...even though it seems as though they have all ready belonged to us and that we are all ready family since we have that perfect bond in Jesus Christ. Well I love you Dad.
THAT IS OBER COOL DAD I LOVE YOU
