As a college student, I was the president of my schools missions team. The pastor/chaplain is a young (in the Lord) leader who was raised up only about 4 or 5 years after finding Jesus. He has a powerful testimony of being healed from paranoid schizophrenia after he list his job at the top of capitol records, blew $100,000 on drugs, and his wife divorced him.
Over the years I've been involved with the group in many capacities. I've also withdrawn from it because of his treatment of team members and myself. He is very controlling and manipulative. He calls people out in public places amongst crowds of people. He humiliates people. Several years ago he announced in a crowded room that in had no purpose in participating in that days ministry other than to criticize. All this
Was brought on because I curiously asked a
question that he didn't like. A while later he told my friend after she'd just come to the Lord, to "get over it". This because she was grieving the lose of her brother and protector to a drive by shooting. He says something like this just about everytime he gets the floor.
The problem is that he runs a group of new Christians who he knows will not out him. He already lost his
First group because of his treatment if them. Now he has a new
Group and half of them are convinced he's
In a relationship with his assistant who us half his age and very naive. He's
Been called on it before. His new students are now
Also ready to leave.
Anyway, my pastor really needs to do something. Please pray that he
needs to make a wise decision.

there is a point at which you must "wise up". this is a situation where you should do 2 things.
Call the supervisory counsel or administrator for your particular church. Report this conduct, doing so with a recording device operating at the time, or with a law enforcement official present.
Call the police if you haven't already.
Failure to do either is not a faith-based decision. what you have forming in front of you is not only a violation of the soul, but a crime.
Period. Crime.
Aviso: if you fail to report this to BOTH authorities, you are complicite and guilty as an accomplice in what looks to me like a felony punishable by imprisonment. my tuppence, your decision. sorry to be so harsh, but this is a disgusting, immoral, and not even faith related situation.
Act now. Do it.

First of all, I have address every personal issue I've had with this leader one on one. Sometimes it's been positive. Other times it's been negative. Our senior pastor
has been informed of many of the things that have occurred, and the young pastor has been corrected every time an issue has been raised with the senior pastor. Unfortunately, the young pastor is two-faced. He is absolutely a different person when no titled leaders are around. This situation with the girl is not truly illegal. Ethically and biblically immoral, yes. But it's not illegal. The girl is no longer a student. He is now the women's director for
the ministry. She is 25 years old, not 17.
Biblically there are ways to go about this. I'm trying my best to do it correctly. I was no involved in the last incident. I only heard about it when a friend and I went to breakfast and she was seeking advice. I encouraged her to tell the senior pastor ASAP. This is her plan. I spoke with the
Admin pastor, a good friend of mine, and he also mentioned to the senior pastor that there was an issue. The senior pastor called me and encouraged me to keep pushing this girl to come forward.
You see the situation is complicated. Craziness is going on, but this young pastor has manipulated everyone into thinking that he absolutely correct or that regardless if he's got faults they have to "keep it in the family". Many issues are not being brought to the senior pastor because students are
afraid. Secondly, this young pastor is a completely different person when the other pastors are around. He knows how to mind his p's and q's.
In conclusion, my friend another person involved will be meeting with the senior
Pastor and several others on Wednesday.

So my friend who was the president of the missions team spent the night with me last night. We were uP late as she was sharing her stories regarding this leader. We Prayed for a long time and a lot of the focus became breaking uP this "cult" who has been threatened and manipulated into
Secrecy even to the point of specifically telling students that it was nOt right to talk to other pastors about our group. His new president is distraught because he didn't understand what had been going on inthe team before he accepted his role. So many people are being manipulated into believing what Kenny says and does is gospel. He "strongly suggests" that no one talk to a long list of people because they have a certain spirit. These are all people who stood up to him in the past.
Even yesterday I was being glared at probably because I stood up to him. It was so obvious that two other people actually approached me about it.
We need a triage plan. We need the pastors to deal with Kenny and I want to say throw him out. There are dozens. If not hundreds of hurting 20 something's that have been his victim and it's gone on for year because everyone is terrified to tell anyone.

it sounds like you and your friends have been being hurt from this situation for too long. You deserve to stand up for yourself and those on yr team. Unfortunatley the wounded christian can act out as if they were not followers as christ at all. Yes Pastors and Pastoral Care members are all human and they too make mistakes, however they are in a position of authority within a christian environment and they are representing our God.That is not something that should ever be used to bring people down. It actually is against all the kingdom principles and the teachings of Jesus. You need to have this person spoken to by their superiors, if they have personal problems unclear to everyone then they need to be taken off the team until they are able to encourage others and realign themselves with the teachings of the bible. Which is in fact the calling of those in pastoral care and in leadership. We will pray that this situation comes to a peaceful resolution for all and that god will place the appropriate teacher in your lives. We pray for the said person to be restored to their holy and natural state and that they are able to soften their hearts and be able to truthfully decide if they are the right person for the required guidance of others.
