As I write this, my house is full of boxes. A week from now my wife, my three kids and I will board an airplane and head for The Netherlands, where we will join Christian Associates International, a church planting organization that plants so-called high impact churches all over Europe.

Obviously we are right in the middle of a major transition, and for this reason NEXT WAVE is a little thinner this month. We apologize for that, and trust you will understand. We do want to assure you however that NEXT WAVE will continue to be published right here at www.next-wave.org. For the next short period of time, we will be on hiatus. If you get bored waiting for new content, create some of your own in our new discussion forum. Click here to join the discussion.

We are also pleased to announce to you that we are adding more people to our team of writers and contributors; recently we were joined by Leslie Ramusack, Columbus, OH. Look for her report on the Joshua House ministry in the near future!

NEXT WAVE is dedicated to bringing you in depth reports on alternative churches, and this month we take you to Sandals Church in Riverside, CA. The report includes photos, a service review, and two interviews. We hope you enjoy them!

Peace,

Roger
