Tomorrow, July 3, 2012, we will have David P. of San Diego
as our guest. David is a businessman; a long-recovered A.A. member; overseer of
Rock Recovery Ministry (http://www.sdrock.com/ministries/rockrecovery/),
and a hands-on worker with alcoholics, addicts, and those who have other life-controlling
problems in the vibrant Rock Church arena in San Diego, California. Rock Church
is a rockin’ church. Thousands pour into the church each Sunday. It is the
largest church in San Diego County. It has a noted senior pastor. Many of its
members are involved in the recovery community. And the church certainly
reaches out to help alcoholics, addicts, and other suffering souls in many ways.
David is a fast-moving catalyst in all these endeavors. As
part of his work with Rock Recovery Ministry, he focuses on residential
recovery facilities, treatment, the needs of the newcomer, and involvement in a
broad community outreach through the church and the 12 Step recovery community.
That focus also includes the Bible, attention to early A.A.’s Christian roots,
and a balanced view of the importance of both “anonymous” fellowships like
Alcoholics Anonymous and Christian Recovery fellowships in the life of a church
like the Rock Church.
Tuesday, David will probably introduce you to the following:
·
A little about his family, education, business,
and drink-drug encounters.
·
A little about his A.A. involvement—past and
present.
·
A little about Rock Church, its size, success,
and dynamism.
·
A lot about the Rock Recovery Ministry as an
outreach arm of the Rock Church to those who still suffer with addiction,
including those involved in A.A., N.A., and Christian Recovery; e.g.:
o
Rock Recovery Ministry, its Web site, and its
structure.
o
Typical activities: A.A. meetings, Bible study, the
initial orientation meeting, the Beach Bonfire, Quiet Time and texting, attendance
at the Rock Church, and other forms of outreach.
o
The sober living residential and treatment facilities—approach,
number, beds, costs, recovery aspects, Christian aspects, and A.A. aspects.
o
David’s role in these
·
His support of our work and of the International
Christian Recovery Coalition—including free distribution of Dick B.’s title, The Good Book and the Big Book; conference
travel support, interviews, mention of Dick B. on their Web site, and
personally.
·
Mission and visions for the future.
We welcome our good friend and Christian Recovery Leader
David P.
Gloria
Deo
