How often have you heard the response to “can you be there”
or “can you support us in this” coming as an almost instant cli-
ché: “Sorry, I’m much too busy with things at my church to add
anything else right now. Maybe another time.” It is this attitude
of isolation within the walls of a church facility that has caused
the Church to be impotent and powerless in a world becoming
quickly devoid of Biblical Values.
Pastor Rod Parsley expressed it this way, “I will not remain
quiet…God is watching.” That’s it! God is watching! I need no
other persuasion, nothing else to compel me to action than the
knowledge that “God is watching.”
We’ve experienced the effectiveness of our combined voices
during the recent legislative session in Santa Fe in which a
number of key issues were successfully addressed. Many of you
were introduced to the political realm for the first time: what an
eye opener! Others were energized, once again, as they became
involved after many years of “silently” watching their rights
and values being legislated away. We are a people and a nation
founded on Judeo-Christian values and principles. It’s time we
act like it. God is watching!
Many have said it’s not politically correct to wear our Christian-
ity on our sleeves. They are correct; you can always just roll up
your sleeves. We are called to put on the “full armor of God”.

Faithful Christian, stay on course to the end of your life. Your
work and your life must go off the stage together! Persisting
to the end will be the burr under your saddle- the thorn in your
flesh – when the road ahead seems endless and your soul begs
an early discharge. It weighs down every other difficulty of
your calling. We have known many who have joined the army
of Christ and liked being a soldier for a battle or two, but have
soon had enough and ended up deserting. They impulsively
enlist for Christian duties, are easily persuaded to take up a pro-
fession of religion, and are just as easily persuaded to lay it
down. Like a new moon, they shine a little in the first part of
the evening, but go down before the night is over. Yes, man
of God, this is hard work! Taking up the Cross daily, pray-
ing always, watching night and day and never laying aside our
Amour to indulge ourselves, sends many sorrowful away from
Christ. Yet this is your calling: to make the Christian faith
your daily work, without any vacation from one end of the year
to the other. So faithful Christian, stay on course to the end of
your life: in Christ Jesus- Amen.

sus by evangelism, at bus and train stations, hospitals, nursing homes,

I write this short encouragement as a young man to
young men. We are strong, says the proverb, yet our
But You Knew That, Right? memories are short. Our days are full of life, but the
reality is that most of us have not lived much life yet.
It’s no surprise then that when suffering and trial make their way into our padded life that the response
is often less than Godly.
Perhaps I can only speak for myself, but growing up in a culture of entitlement, my natural (read
fleshly) reaction is to seek out comfort. I run from pain, from fear, from challenge. How quick I am to
Greg Schneeberger forget that God’s word promises us that men who desire to live Godly lives will be persecuted (2 Tim
Minister to Youth 3:12). Notice in the preceding verse that Paul does not pad his words to young Timothy by making
Desert Springs Church his statement conditional. There is no ‘if’ or ‘might,’ but an affirmative ‘will.’ If we love Christ more
than this world, ourselves, and the many temptations of the
devil, a cross is sure to follow.
This is the glorious scandal of the gospel; the good news
that we are saved and recreated in Christ for a deeper
purpose. When we are weak we are strong because he is
strong. It is when we see clearly, by God’s grace through
His Spirit, that we cannot in our own strength fabricate the
fullness of joy that we are free to die that we might live.
It may seem like a mystery to young men like me, raised
in an age of coddling and immediate self gratification, but
God’s word stands. It stands in the toughest of times when
it is hardest to be a man of love and integrity. The world,
with its many enticing idols does not deliver. We may be
young but we are not stupid. We know that the promise of
fulfillment in anything temporary is as fading as the words
used to try and persuade us. That part we have down, in
theory. The part we tend to forget easily in our youth is
that the normal Christian life is not one of easy gains and
cushy lives either but the costly grace of discipleship. The
difference is that option B is worth fighting for.
Doesn’t Christ tell us that the sheep will follow the shep-
herd wherever he goes and that the first would be last? In
the same breath he promised us that his burden is light.
Make no mistake my young brothers; there will be blood.
Sometimes it will be your blood as you put your own sin
to death in Christ’s power. Sometimes it will
be the blood of another as you help support
them lest they fall. Yet our hope is always
the blood of Christ, on our best and worst
day, that as the God-MAN he is faithful
to finish the work that he began in us.

based band,
Asper Kourt,
is not a “Chris-
tian” band per
se though the
members would
attribute their
success and in-
spiration to God.
This five some
of Believers are a truly mo-
tivated and dedicated group
linked through their passion
for life expressed through
music. Singer/ song- writer,
Kevin Herig finds that his
family, friends, and life cir-
cumstances are hugely influ-
ential sources of inspiration
for his lyrics. The Christian
undertones to his music are
undeniable to all who listen.
Even through Asper Kourt’s
heavier songs like Timid Feet
and Throwing Stones, listen-
ers are still left with a feeling
of love and optimism.
Since Asper Kourt’s official
conception, God has led the
group to numerous shows and
venues that have bettered the
band as Christians and mu-
sicians along with bettering
the community they play in.
They have had the privilege
of opening up for the Robbie
Seay Band at the Lobo The-
ater, playing for the annual
fundraiser at the Albuquerque
Christian Children’s Home,
playing at a Wyldlife lock-in
at Hoffmantown Church, and
performing at a
self organized
benefit concert
for the victims
of the Myanmar
cyclone and the
earthquake in
China that devas-
tated the region
in the summer
of 2008. God
has also led the group into a
national “battle of the bands”
competition against 28 other
bands from across the nation
with the winner receiving a
recording contract with Song
Joust Records. Currently in
2nd place, Asper Kourt hopes
to pull off an upset when vot-
ing ends on June 20th.
Continue to watch for new
shows and events featur-
ing Asper Kourt around the
southwest. Their new CD,
Changing Times, was pub-
licly released in April and can
be found on iTunes, Amazon
mp3, along with hard copies
soon to be available at local
music stores in Albuquerque.
Asper Kourt was founded in
2007. The band offers a fresh
range on musical talents with
stage dynamics that captivate
the most diverse crowds. The
rhythmic, acoustic feel on top
of relatable, sing-a-long song
writing is the leading tone be-
hind their collaborative, soul
music.

the voice of God clearer than ever before. He led me into the
arms of an amazing Christian woman, named Dianne, who truly
loved me and spoke the truth of Gods word into my life.
I began turning to God for my comfort and my strength. God
made it very evident to me that I needed to be single and take
time away from dating so I vowed to God to be single for an en-

that no one is better qualified than you are to lead your own
family in spiritual matters.
Assuming the role of spiritual leader may initially be intimidat-
ing, but it’s not difficult. There are certain steps you can take to
insure success. First, pray. Prayer is the single most important
aspect of leadership, whether it’s in the home or elsewhere.
When we pray, we ask God to join with us in our effort. He
will be faithful in honoring that request. Second, it’s important
to insure that your own walk with God is healthy. It’s nearly
impossible to provide spiritual leadership without actually liv-
ing out our own faith. Third - study. Take time to prepare each
meeting you have with your family. Handouts and presentations
aren’t necessary, but an understanding of the topic at hand is.

started before the Revolutionary War on
September 7, 1774. Samuel Adams rec-
ommended to the Continental Congress
that Mr. Jacob Duche’, an Episcopal cler-
gyman, become the first chaplain. The
Chaplaincy has gone on steadily through
all of America’s history. Each service
branch has a Chaplain Corps. The Navy
Chaplain (Major) Chaplains serve the Navy, the Marines,
David L. Mansberger and the Coast Guard. The Army Chaplain
US Air Force Corps and the Air Force Chaplain Corps
complete the military service chaplaincy.
The United States Air Force Chaplains Service evolved from
the days of the United States Army Air Corps. Since 1947,
the United States Air Force (AF) has had Chaplains and has
recently moved from being a Chaplains service to a Chaplain
Corps. Chaplains are required to have at least a 90-hour Masters
of Divinity, two to three years experience in a local parish or
congregation, and must meet the AF fitness and age require-
ments. Each chaplain is endorsed by a denominational body, i.e.
Assemblies of God, Catholic Church, Methodist, Jewish, etc.
Once endorsed, the Chief of Chaplains office in Washington,
D.C. makes the call to either bring the ordained professional
clergyperson onto active duty or place them in the reserves.
Each AF Chaplain is an officer and therefore must complete and
carry out any training that any other officer in the AF must do.
The Chaplain is an officer, a professional pastor (usually has a
congregation on a base), does a great deal of counseling (most
Chaplains have a background or degree in marriage and fam-
ily, marriage counseling, psychology, finances, and any variety
of other training), and provides invocations, benedictions, and
wedding services. The unique thing that an AF Chaplain brings
to the men and women of the Air Force is being a “visible
reminder of the Holy.” Chaplains have access to the people of
the AF. The men and women of the AF are the greatest asset of
the Air Corps. Chaplains are able to visit in the workspaces and
participate in the units, detachments, squadrons, and wings in
order to support good morale, healthy morals, and wise ethical
decision making. It is important to note that many of the AF
Chaplains have had prior service as enlisted members in the
Navy, Army, Air Force, or Marines. This prior service experi-
ence helps Chaplains build bridges with the enlisted force that
often cannot be built by other officers.
Chaplains deploy to the AORs (areas of responsibility) all over
the world. The AF has over 100 Chaplains currently involved in
the war on terrorism. In addition, Chaplains support many other
places in this world caring for and providing for the spiritual
needs of airmen. The Chaplain exists in the military to ensure
the Constitutional Rights of everyone to have the freedom of
religion. The Chaplain supports the military members with
clergy from their faith group, materials, and often a place for
them to worship. The Chaplain also works diligently to sup-
port commanders and other leaders in explaining religious holy
days that may impact military personnel. Chaplains are in the
21st Century with the Airmen of today serving and encouraging
them in their faith any place, any time.

 Chaplain Ministry
What is it? Why do we need it?
How do we get involved?
Chaplains are men and women
who have felt the call of God and
is unlike any other ministry, as it
is truly a cross-cultural immersive
“ministry of presence.”
Therefore to understand why we need chaplains it is vital that
we have the same understanding of what a Chaplain is. By defi-
nition, a Chaplain is simply a “minister in the workplace” and
can therefore have an extremely wide range of environments
from full time chaplaincy to part time disaster workers. They
can serve in congregations, law enforcement, emergency ser-
vices, hospitals, corporations and more.
As such, the services that Chaplains provide are far reaching and
varied providing counseling, education, advocacy, life improve-
ment skills, juvenile, court and family mediation, emergency,
disaster & crisis services,
“There are many
recovery training, and provid-
opportunities to take ing a bridge between the secu-
classes in preparation lar and spiritual environments
to become a of community life throughout
Chaplain.” the world.
We endeavor to seek both the means and the methods necessary
to provide working relationships between the Sacred and the
Secular in society. As a result of the Constitutional protection
which is afforded to Chaplains there can be a workable and
beneficial relationship between the secular & religious sectors
of society for the purpose of ministry in the work place and the
education & training of a professional work force in the area of
Chaplaincy. It is our desire to see chaplains who are profession-
ally trained, licensed and equipped, providing meaningful, life
changing service to the communities in which they live through
involvement in every sector of community life.
To provide practical community support and spiritual counsel
to emergency service workers, those in crisis, secular society
and those persons in transition by meeting their needs. Trained
and licensed chaplains will provide counsel, education, advo-
cacy, life improvement skills and recovery training, providing a
bridge between the secular and spiritual environments of com-
munity life throughout the world.
We believe that God has called and inspired ministry in the
workplace. As Chaplains who minister in the areas of Critical
Incident, Grief and Loss, and Trauma, as well as the Spiritual
needs of those whom we serve, we believe that professional-
ism is essential in both the religious and secular areas of our
ministry. We will endeavor to prepare ourselves morally, spiri-
tually, and educationally in order to present ourselves in the
role of professional and compassionate ambassadors of God.
Therefore, we must and will, maintain the highest standards of
accountability and integrity.
We believe that God is using chaplaincy as a movement mobi-
lizing His Church to leave the building, go into the world, be
the church without walls “Providing Care and Service In His
Name.”
Therefore the real questions are, “What is it that you are called
to do? and “Where do I go to get involved?”
First and foremost you need to do some research to find out if
this is truly a ministry where you want to devote your efforts.
The scripture we use to exam our heart and motives is Matthew
9:36 “But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with
compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered,
like sheep having no shepherd.” Jesus was moved with com-
passion and this is truly a compassion filled ministry. If you
are willing to “weep with those that weep” Romans 12:15, and
“Bear one another’s burdens…” Galatians 6:2 then this is the
opportunity for you to be used by God in a new and exciting
way.
My recommendation as the Director of the Crisis Caregivers
and as an instructor with the International Fellowship of Chap-
lains (IFOC) and International Critical Incident Stress Founda-
tion (ICISF) is to go and talk to a local Chaplain either APD,
AFD, BGEA, or other recognized organization who can answer
your basic questions. Following that conversation, pray about
it and see if this is where God wants you to serve.
There are many opportunities to take class in preparation
to become a Chaplain. IFOC is offering a 45 hour intensive
training program in ALB this October 19th through the 23rd.
This course offers the very basic training every agency requires
prior to their specific orientation and training depending on the
organization. Remember this course is the basic and it alone
will not qualify you to serve without further education in any
of these departments. Every agency has there own minimum
requirements you would need to fill prior to them allowing you
to represent their agency.
In the mean time there are a number of classes being offered
here locally.
ICISF/CISM course “Responding to School Crises Interven-
tion” is being offered in July 25th and 27th, and ICISF/CISM
course “Individual and Peer Crisis Intervention” is being offered
here in October 2nd and 3rd as well.

reasons why missionaries might not admit that such difficulties
exist. Perhaps the most common reason is that they are afraid
of the reactions of people who, all too often, respond to them
with words or actions that communicate something like, “You
are not supposed to struggle. As a missionary, you are super-
spiritual. Now I have reason to doubt that you are as spiritual as
I expect you to be, so I’m considering withdrawing my support
from your ministry.” Whatever the reasons are, please pray for
your missionaries to have God’s ability to deal with each of the
following:
Admission #1: One of the greatest difficulties missionaries face
is getting along well with other missionaries and/or national
Christians. You might be surprised to learn that the number one
reason missionaries leave the mission field prematurely is con-
flict with other Christians. Things such as geographic isolation,
the work of the enemy to divide and conquer, and not resolving
conflicts while they are small due to fears of losing workers or
opportunities all combine to make the mission field a minefield
for relationships. Please pray that God will give missionaries
the grace and love to both apply the instruction from His word
on how to resolve conflict and to build godly relationships with
each other.
Admission #2: One of the greatest challenges a missionary
faces is adjusting to a different culture. They have the task of
distinguishing between the sins of the culture, their own per-
sonal preferences, and those things which are neither sinful
nor unbiblical, but are simply different from their own culture.

answer the call of
the Lord to go into
the world and preach
the good news of
Christ? Many of
Jesus’ teachings on
being sent tell of the
wonders that will occur in the lives of receivers, but something
more miraculous happens in the one who goes out. John 9: 1-7
is a beautiful demonstration of the power of Christ working
within the individual disciple to make him more like Jesus when
He is sent.
In this section of scripture, Jesus speaks with the twelve dis-
ciples about a man who was blind from birth, saying that the
man’s blindness was not caused by sin, but has happened so
that the work of God could be displayed in his life. As he is
speaking with the twelve, Jesus commissions them to do the
work of the Father, “As long as it is day we must do the work
of Him who sent me.” After saying this, Jesus walked over to
the blind man and made a paste of mud and spit which He then
put on the man’s eyes. “Go”, He told him, “Wash in the pool of
Siloam. (This word means Sent). So the man went and washed,
and came home seeing” (9:7).
As a result of this man’s obedience to washing in the pool of
Siloam or ‘Sent’, his eyes were opened and he was able to
clearly see his Maker and the world around him. As Disciples
of Christ we have the same opportunity to see our God and this
world more clearly by answering the call to go and spread the
good news.
A small group of believers has an opportunity this November
to travel to the Philippines on a mission trip with the purpose
of preaching Christ. The mission trip is organized by Global
Adventures, the missions arm of Calvary of Albuquerque. The
group will partner with Faith, Hope, and Love Kid’s Ranch
headed by missionaries Celestino and Lorraine Lamar to bring
encouragement to our brothers and sisters in Christ and to share
the gospel with unbelievers. Space is still available for you to
join our team. We would also like to invite you to be a part of
this trip by praying for the team and consider donating to a gen-
eral team fund to cover the $2,500 cost of the trip per person.

Millions of Christians across America have a deep love for
Israel and the Jewish people and want to stand with them dur-
ing these difficult days. Yet, until recently, pro-Israel Christians
were divided and often silent. They limited their support of
Israel to prayers and charitable donations.

In February, 2006, Pastor John Hagee decided the time had

come to create a national grassroots movement focused on the
support of Israel. He called upon Christian leaders from across
 When Joyelle
went into middle
school she was in the
accelerated classes. We
had to go to the school
board and complain about
the school not being wheel-
chair accessible. What ended up
happening was we had to pay out of pocket to have ramps put
in the public school. Because of the age of the school they were
not required to meet ADA requirements. After the first semes-
ter we noticed a small change in Joyelle’s attitude and of course
we marked this up to becoming a pre-teen. Her grades still re-
mained the same; she just became distant with Jack and I.
One day Jack decided to come home for lunch and I was doing
volunteer work at the hospital. When he got on our street he
noticed our dog lying on the sidewalk. He got out of his car and
ran over to the dog, noticing the dog’s head was at a funny an-
gle. It did not appear the dog had been hit by a car but his neck
was broken. Jack immediately buried the dog so that Joyelle did
not see it when she came home from school. This was the route
she always took when coming home. When Jack went into the
house he noticed that the back door was locked as usual and he
could not figure out how the dog got out. He thought maybe
when I left that morning I let her out and forgot to put her back
in. That night when Jack told me about the dog I explained to
him that I know I had put the dog in the house before I left and
locked up. Explaining to Joyelle was another matter, Jack told
her the dog ran out of the house and got hit by a car. We had no
idea at the time that Joyelle knew differently.
We had a terrible winter that year with lots of snow which made
it very difficult for Joyelle to get around. Jack and I both had
this strong feeling that we needed to move. Not knowing why at
the time we thought it was to make mobility easier for Joyelle.
We put our house on the market at the end of the school year
and it sold within a month. We did not have a place to move to
at that time so Jack and I stayed with friends and Joyelle stayed
with her best friend Courtney, they had been inseperable during
the entire school year. After two months we knew we would be
moving to Florida. Joyelle had a difficult time leaving Courtney
it was like she was scared and we marked it up to moving.
We relocated to Miami knowing it would be so much easier
for Joyelle to get around. We moved into a section called Mi-
ami Lakes because we heard that Joyelle would not be bused
to another part of the city and she would be going to the local
school. We did not realize at the time that all of her classes had
translators because of the influx of students from Cuba. After
she came home with failing grades we became very concerned
and placed her in a private school where the classroom had only
sixteen students as opposed to twenty-seven.
One thing we did notice after our move was that Joyelle seemed
to have developed allergies. She was always waking up with
headaches and always seemed to be tired. At least her grades
were back up, but she still was having trouble developing
friendships. We did let her call Courtney at least once a week.
Eventually, Joyelle did develop a friendship with a young man
the same age that lived near us. The year went by fairly quickly,
Jack adjusting to his new position with a rehab hospital and
Joyelle anticipating Courtney’s visit that summer. When Court-
ney arrived we noticed that the girls shut themselves up and we
never saw them unless they were in the pool or at meal time. Oh
well there’s that pre-teen thing again.
By Christmas of the following year we were moving again due
to the joys of Healthcare Administration, this time we were go-
ing to Dallas, TX. I noticed that Joyelle was becoming more
distant and had stopped sharing her feelings with Jack and I. We
decided to keep Joyelle
in a private school when

least she is making new friends; some more acceptable than
others. I decided to become active at the school and developed
a close friendship with the principle, as a matter of fact she was
a close neighbor.
After being in Dallas for about seven months we noticed that
Joyelle was either in her room or out with friends, she never
seemed to have time for family. Then the shocker came; the
phone bills were going up and up we had a $10,000.00 phone
bill within a three-month period. Needless to say the phone came
out of Joyelle’s room and eventually Jack took all the phones
out of the house when he went to work. The phone company
was not willing to work with us and we even asked them if we
could get a pay phone in the house. Of course our children are
 N e wMe xi co sB o dy o fC h ris t.c om
smarter than we are; Joyelle had decided to get her own phone
which went everywhere with her so we could not find it. The
tension was mounting in our home; we just didn’t understand
what was going on.
Finally, Joyelle’s principle called and said she was very con-
cerned about Joyelle, not so much about her grades as her at-
titude and actions. Our first concern was that she might be on
drugs. At this point we knew we had no choice but for all of us
to go to counseling. Our first choice of therapists was not a good
mix and we tried it for a while but nothing was getting better.
Then, one day Joyelle asked me to call her father and see if we
could meet for lunch. We met at a restaurant near Jacks
facility, not knowing what was in store we prepared for
the worst or so we thought. As we are sitting there Joyelle
starts sobbing, we said please let us know what is bother-
ing you, no matter what it is we will always love you and
we will get through this together. When she was finally
able to speak she told us she had been RAPED (several
times) by a substitute teacher in Fall River, MA and she
just did not want to live. Joyelle’s therapist was very
concerned about her emotional state. She scheduled a
second opinion evaluation and that therapist arranged for
immediate hospitalization with suicide watch.
Again the story doesn’t end here!!! In the next issue we
will walk you through the hospitalization and what we
learned and the signs to look for when dealing with a
child who has been molested. We will go through the
judicial process and what to do and not do.
