I got to hear him live a few times... at Horizon Christian Fellowship in San Diego (before I ever moved here permanently).

For background, there was a pastor by the name of Chuck Smith who had an evangelical church and he welcomed in the 60's hippy beach bum crowd.  From that period came young leaders like Greg Laurie (Harvest Crusades) and Mike Macintosh (Horizon Christian Fellowship) and Chuck Missler-- Calvary Chapel.

Chuck Smith (not Missler) was the original founder of Calvary Chapels and he essentially franchised them.  He was like a modern day Paul the apostle (in terms of franchising churches).
