The Potters Field Case: What Now?
Before I move to writing about the next step in this matter, I want to speak about the people who have come forward to expose this evil.
We worry a lot here about the future of the church and especially about the young people who seem to be rejecting it en masse.
When these folks heal, we’re in better shape than I could have hoped for.
These were difficult and painful stories to tell and they told them with clarity, courage, and grace.
They didn’t exaggerate, they didn’t prevaricate, and they didn’t demand retribution.
They became the “church” for each other and they are caring for each other well in Jesus name.
They are the future of the church…and I’ll rest easier knowing that.
I have been humbled and honored to play a part in their story.
Going forward, there is a Calvary Chapel Association Conference next week in California.
This situation will be a topic of discussion and I’m hoping for a very clear statement from the CCA on Potters Field Ministries.
The Rozells and their leadership must step down and the program taken over by others or simply scrapped.
CCA churches can, and I believe will, continue to support the work overseas.
If the Rozells are allowed to continue,they will simply move to another denomination and start over…and the victims list will continue to grow.
Today, behind the scenes, there are systems and safe houses set up to assist anyone who wants to leave PFM to do so.
Other news outlets and concerned people are doing their own investigations into various aspects of the situation.
We will continue to post the survivors stories here as well as relevant news about the organization.
We’ll also be addressing the fundamental issues that allow this kind of abuse to happen and prosper.
Stay tuned…
I thought I had read about a meeting for all in PFM earlier this week.
any word on what transpired at that meeting ?
I don’t have a full report,but I do know some folks resigned and there were outside safeguards in place so they could leave without reprisals.
Michael, May I ask who exactly you are and what your association is with PFM? Thank you.
Chrisy,
I’m Michael.
I’m also the owner of this blog.
My only association with PFM is exposing them.
If you have other questions… phoenixpreacher@gmail.com
McClure has purchased a few very expensive pieces of property in the Flathead Valley. (Ask him.) I am sure he would love to rescue these victims and take over the operations of Potter’s Field or start up his own ministry there. In fact, let’s talk in two years and see if my words have not come true.
WW,
What you seem to be trying to do is invalidate the testimonies presented here as simply a way for McClure to take over.
That would make me very unhappy if that were the case…I get the problems people have with Don, but for Gods sake, can’t we put it aside for a season for the sake of these kids?
this breaks my heart
this is heart breaking
