He has been diagnosed with viral meningitis. The good news, if there is some, is that the rest of the band doesn&#8217;t have to be quarantined. I don&#8217;t know how long he&#8217;ll be being treated but anything involving meningitis sounds scary.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s been an interesting summer for Destination 7. The band has a very strong presence in the Los Angeles mainstream music scene; they play the Whisky A GoGo often and just helped coordinate an entire night of Christian music there. They feel a strong leading to be witnesses in the mainstream music world.<br \/>\nBut with that comes spiritual opposition. Natasha writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I hate to say it, but I&#8217;m just not surprised anymore. It seems like where ever we go, and whatever we do, disaster strikes.  Meningitis, lightning storms, locust storms, blackouts, fires, mosquito attacks, flash floods, ALL in one glorious summer.  Welcome to ministry:) hahaha Phil 3:13-14 has never felt so completely REAL. With all that said, thank you so much for your prayers, and please continue to pray for us as we press on.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;d echo her requests for prayer.
