John and Doves,
A Ventura County Judge---Vincent O'Neill--- has ordered Pastor Rob McCoy,
his church Godspeak Calvary Chapel of Newbury Park/Thousand Oaks,
and anyone attending indoor services(up to 1,000 'John Does') or anyone acting in concert with the church are to be held in contempt of a restraining order and threatened with a fine of $1000 a day, and possible jail time.The complaint was filed by Ventura County.
This is unprecedented.
The following Sunday, August 9th, 2020 Pastor Rob McCoy held services and 2,500 people showed up.No arrests were made.
Mat Staver, the Attorney for Pastor McCoy of Liberty Counsel lc.org stated:" The building doesn't hold 2,500 people, so these people stayed outside.Part of this group was another church that drove 2 hours to this church to be the first 1,000 people to be arrested, so that the people inside could have their worship services."
Please pray for this situation. A hearing will be held Friday August 21st.What happens in California may echo throughout the land.
The best part of this story is the witness of other Christians being of "one heart and one soul"(Acts 4 :32) for the cause of Christianity and the Constitution.
Their witness took much courage, given by the Holy Spirit...Rev. 2:10"Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer.Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried."
What a beautiful testimony!
