Hippies, regardless of former affiliation with drugs or gangs, through repentance, began new lives loving the Lord and the Word of God. They began home Bible studies that grew into churches, experiencing that Grace changes everything. Today, more than 1,500 Calvary Chapel churches are on the earth. We say: " Amen; all the glory goes to the Lord." Therefore, for the future of Calvary Chapels, as long as Calvary Chapels including Calvary Chapel Anaheim Hills (CCAH) are praying, studying in the Word of God, walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, focusing on mutual love, and ministering flexibly to Him and His sheep, like the early church in the Book of Acts -- not based upon institutionalization, money, numbers, glory, or any man-made-frames of church, Calvary Chapels will be like the house on the rock in Matthew 7:24-25, "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.."
