Gospel For Asia Sanitizes Ads, Won’t Silence Critics
The Facebook ad shows up in my timeline every day.
It’s a pitch for “Revolution In World Missions”, Gospel For Asia’s time tested marketing tool of choice.
It claims K.P. Yohannan as it’s author, but we know better about that now.
The ads very existence puts the lie to the claim that “every dollar goes to the field”.
A bunch of dollars have gone to social media hubs to combat the truth about an “allegedly” corrupt organization led by an “allegedly” corrupt man.
When it has popped up in the past, I and other like minded brethren have put up links to this site and to Warren Throckmortons work exposing the charity for what it “allegedly” is.
It popped up again this morning, freshly scrubbed of negative comments and full of praise for the book and the charity.
I have been blocked from commenting, but not from viewing.
Block this, boys.
We’re not afraid of your lawyers or your lies, or your master.
You can out spend us, but you can’t out fight us.
Every day in this country God’s people are being lied to and defrauded in Jesus name.
They are being taken advantage of because they have large hearts and generous spirits.
While the big name pastor/toadys protect GFA, we’ll be here to try to protect those good people of God.
We will not be silenced until justice is done and righteousness has it’s day.
Meanwhile, deep in the heart of Texas…
We made much of Gayle Erwins confession and repentance and we should make even more of pastor Bill Gehm of CC Amarillo.
His repentance from supporting GFA from the pulpit was something we would hope others would emulate.
I was shocked to see it for a number of reasons.
Texas is GFA country and there are pastors in Texas who have known of these issues for some time and remained silent.
Gehm’s video is an indictment not only of GFA, but of their refusal to protect their own flocks.
Gehm is also one of Skip Heitzigs assistants as the Calvary Chapel Association regional leader.
Heitzig has remained quiet except for an email he dictated to one of our readers calling into question whether there was a scandal here at all.
Many pastors have reached out to him as a “leader” of the “affiliation” and have so far been stonewalled.
For whatever reason, Gehm seems to understand what “leadership” really means.
So do the handful of Calvary Chapel pastors who have made public statements about Gospel For Asia to protect the people they serve.
So far, the Calvary Chapel Association doesn’t.
That…doesn’t shock me at all…
Two thumbs up!
Thank you, Scott!
I find that Christians in general don’t like to deal with this stuff. It’s messy and controversial.
I’ve been posting links and snippets of personal observations about GFA on a closed FB page I’m a member of.
There are 100 or so members, many of them I’ve known since the 70’s. I posted the video link to the pastor from San Antonio a few days ago and asked for feedback.
Only 1 person commented thus far. However, I know for a fact if I had posted a cute video of a polar bear tap dancing on a stage in Vegas, I would of had at least responses thus far 😉
Cat videos, Scott…post the cat videos and they’ll love you. 🙂
I just got blocked this morning on the GFA ads. I get the join the club. We should get rings to honor our club solidarity. And if any new member wants to join, they must first kiss the ring. 🙂
I also still get GFA’s email propaganda. I must be a glutton for punishment that I haven’t yet unsubscribed. I ignore most of them, but a little while back one of them caught my attention. It told a story about some in India who were being blocked from going to church. Ironic, being that GFA has tried to do the same with their own staff.
“And if any new member wants to join, they must first kiss the ring. :)”
Now that was funny… 🙂
Cat videos or dogs bouncing on trampolines! LOL
The ad popped up in my timeline again today. Still can’t comment. 🙂
Kevin H,
It came up on mine too.
They’re taunting us! 🙂
