Today's interview with Pastor Joe Furey is a
particular honor for Ken and myself. Joe is the pastor at His Place Church in
Westminster, California. We've frequently been in touch with him since our
first Nationwide Alcoholics Anonymous History Conference in Irvine, California,
in May of 2009. And Joe's growth as both pastor and Christian recovery leader
has been steady and productive as we've come to know him. First, we talked with
him and his friends about his coming on board in our International Christian
Recovery Coalition as a participant, which he did. Then, before the His Place fellowship
in Huntington Beach merged with another larger facility, His place hosted
two large gatherings where we addressed eager alcoholics and addicts, had a
feed provided by David R.--a restaurateur in Costa Mesa, and heard Joe Speak.
His work has been ably assisted by two other church members--Jonny Ray B. and
Roger M. Next, we learned that His Place was having a hugely-successful A.A.
meeting each Friday where the announcement was "We have two texts here.
One is the Bible. The other is the Big Book." And unfettered and lively
Christian recovery sharing takes place. Next, Joe told us that he wanted
to support our work once his merger with the larger church was complete.
And that happened. The new, much larger facility is still called His
Place, but is located in Westminster, California. And Joe's church then hosted
a large International Christian Recovery Coalition Conference there--providing
an abundance of snacks, and eliciting some great sharing by Christian recovery
leaders from all over the United States. Joe has had his personal experiences
with drugs and alcohol, and I'll let him tell you as much as he wishes
about that. Meanwhile, I look forward to his telling us right now how a little
fellowship has grown to a major magnet that attracts other ministers and
fellowships. It's all yours, Joe.
