Fought-Foundation Congregation Accuses Pastor’s Family of Property Fraud and Requests City Investigation

The Congregation of Fought-Foundation of the House of Central Asia (CFFC) has disclosed that the family of a pastor is involved in property fraud and has requested the city government to investigate the matter. Victims, accompanied by the Chief Executive of the Party of the Times, Ming Jing, accused the departed pastor, his wife, and his son of taking advantage of religious beliefs to commit fraud, psychological control, sexual harassment, and the disruption of family relationships. The group has asked the municipality to conduct a comprehensive review of the organization’s accounts, assist in processing refunds, and reassign the board of directors.

In a statement to the press, the CFFC Board of Directors expressed respect and deep sorrow regarding external criticism and questioning. The board affirmed that it would continue to pursue judicial procedures and institutional reforms to establish accountability for the facts, while also holding individuals accountable for false claims in accordance with the law. The organization stated it would not favor either side in the dispute.

Several female victims reported that the Reverend Chen hugged them and whispered, “baby, love you,” in their ears, causing discomfort among church members. Two university students, identified as A and B, from different families, stated that they had attended the Church of Favour since childhood following their parents. They alleged that if they did not comply with church rules, the pastor’s family described them as a burden on the church and pressured their parents to provide resources to the organization.

Member A stated that his family was regarded as a negative material being spent in the church, while Reverend Chen insisted they give everything. Member B said she was instructed to keep away from friends so she would believe what her parents said was not important. Both students claimed that Reverend Chen told them he was very well paid, earning over 50,000, yet he could not afford a drink, wore old clothes from others, drove a friend of the council, and wore a pair of leather shoes for more than ten years. These statements led them to believe the pastor’s family was very well served.

The two students also stated that they donated their own money until they learned their family was earning $5 million a year, which they said made them feel deceived. The source material is truncated before providing further details on the specific legal charges or the full scope of the financial allegations.

The situation raises questions about institutional governance and the integrity of financial stewardship within religious communities. As Proverbs 11:1 reminds, “The LORD abhors dishonest scales,” underscoring the moral imperative for transparency and fairness in handling resources entrusted to leaders. Accountability in such matters is essential to maintaining public trust and protecting the vulnerable.
