    QUOTE: Church founder Anne Gimenez told WAVY that "at this time we do not have enough information to make a comment!"

    I am familiar with this church - It's about a 2-hour drive from us - The founding Pastor (Anne) and her husband have always been upstanding Christians, as far as I'm aware - Their church was on fire for the Lord, and many came to Jesus as a result of their ministry and missionary endeavors.

    Hadn't heard anything about them for years, so it must be that they turned it over to that SLEAZE...

    I wonder if they did a Background/Criminal Check on him? - Because this is probably NOT the first time he's been involved in evil like this.

    So sad!

    Anne Gimenez was a big star on TBN at one time. I have a friend who based out of that church at one time as an evangelist. I'm going to ask him about it.

    All big ministries and mega churches have their day in the sun.

    If I was satan I would focus on larger targets that would bring more media attention ? When a small church Pastor fails it hardly gains a yawn from believers. But when the Big ones fail the reports go around the world....

    Per the underlined .. and ??

    Satan focuses on us all afterall he Tried to kill Jesus even as a baby.

    God has called some to mega churches some to small churches.. if a mega church ministry pastor fails its no more a dent in God's plans than it would be had the ministry been smaller

    Take the Osteen's for instance .. Joel clearly has far more visibility than John did but Joel wouldn't even exist without the foundations John built

    As the scripture says "despise not small beginnings" . Small ministries are every bit as important as Big Ministries in God's economy

    There are high level targets and there are low level targets. When satan brought down Jimmy Swaggart it hurt millions of believers. The local Pastor has local influence and is a target. But if you have global influence you are a high level target for sure. Think for a moment if you were satan who would be your prime targets when you have limited demonic resources ????
