I was counselled by Pastor JS several years ago. At first meeting, he was encouraging and listened well. He had taken me and a girlfriend out to lunch and we both enjoyed his conversation and trusted him as a Pastor. At my second meeting with him in a counseling session, he was again warm and friendly but at the end of the session he insisted on me sitting on his lap. As i sat on his lap being hugged, what happened next was totally against my will and I told him so. I did not want to have sex with him, but he told me three times to trust him, that he wouldn't hurt me. He then raped me against my will. I was in a daze afterward and roamed around the neighborhood for a long time. Here was a man I respected and trusted, who I never thought would do anything of this sort.
I found out about this congregation from their Pastors' posting on the app Nextdoor. When I saw it, it was during a very hard time in my life, my husband was dying. The kindness and organization of the ministry made everything run smoothly. The workers were always kind, friendly, and helpful. I have seen recently that technology has been further incorporated and the system runs even smoother. The fact that we can shop for what we want and not just given and prepackaged box makes all the difference in the world. I only come when I need to so I can make sure there's enough food to go around. The young, old, and various people groups are all benefitting from their kindness.
