"Change is Healthy"

I was looking back on some photos of the Fellowship back in the day when it was called "Calvary Chapel Fellowship." A lot has changed since those days. The place we meet, the people who have came and went and to some degree the way we do Ministry. Times change, People change, it is a constant. The one thing I can actually say is that Calvary Chapel Los Banos is still the same in regards to its message. It always has and will always be about Jesus. I am so blessed to be a part of a Fellowship that reflects the Love of Christ no matter what.

Its easy to be duped & deceived in regards to checking your spiritual temperature in thinking things are going good. It is a foolish man who never asks the Lord as David did "Lord see if there be any wicked way in me....." It is an even bigger fool to not listen to the Nathan's that the Lord puts in our paths.

As we move into what I believe will be a new season in the life of this Fellowship we look forward to serving with all of those precious saints who have come along side us to continue to get the gospel out to this community. We don't concern ourselves with experiential phenomenon and all the fluff that has a tendency to linger and loom over small communities like ours. We are just interested in people falling in love with Jesus.

Our battle is not with flesh & blood but with the principalities of this air, so don't waste your time debating it. Seek Jesus and as you do we pray our paths cross for some great Fellowship!

Sunday Morning set up ha ha

Check out the expensive video screen (foam insulation board $7.88 @ Home Depot)

Yes you see it 32 chairs

How I thank God for all the men the Lord brought who are no longer with us and am even more thankful to all those who are here now. As I look at this room I think of the 4 people who started with prayer and kept it every Sunday. And now to the 13-20 people who still come on Sunday Nights it is your Prayer Warrior mentality that keeps this Fellowship going. Stay strong, be of good courage & don't falter for you WILL receive a crown one day that you can lay at His feet.

Valentines in Los Banos

A SWEET TIME OF FELLOWSHIP

Just wanted to share a quick notice with you on how the Valentines Dinner went here in L.B (no not long beach). Everyone had an exceptional time and trying to put together a 4 course meal is the pits ha ha cause it takes a lot of coordinating. Linda did an excellent job and it could not have come together without the service of our singles. I want to thank Jon, Greg, Miranda, Katrina & Stephanie for their grateful hearts to serve the Married folks of our fellowship. Here are just a couple of pics to get an idea of the evening.

Our Singles gave of their Night to bless the Marriage Ministry

Great Fellowship

The Serrano's Jim & Tina

Linda & I are so blessed to be able to serve here with these folks and to share the Love of Jesus with them they are precious in His sight and ours.

Blessing of Buffetings

It has been a long arduous 3 weeks now since I first began feeling the pains from yesteryear. Ever since my Motorcycle crash that ended my Law Enforcement career in 94' I would occasionally have my back go out about 2-3 times a year. Linda has always been able to massage it out and away but not this time. After much working on it and actually going to the hospital & the Dr (who does that with the last name Abdulla) Prayer, laying on of hands, anointing with oil, rebuking, you name it I am still not out of the woods. My right foot is asleep, back is stiff and I walk like and old man.

In spite of all of this I know this to be true! God loves me! My wife loves me! And I miss my family immensely. The work here in Los Banos has stepped up its pace. People are seeing Jesus in ways they never have before. Healing's are taking place & hearts are softening to the Gospel. I am a blessed man to see the work that God has begun here. My prayer is that I can last physically to be able to see a Spanish Ministry that hears the same word that we do. Please keep that in prayer for us would you?

And it wouldn't hurt to pray for the old man either ha ha love you all ~ Al
