KP tells Larry that Gayle will be contacting JD soon and that the allegations are true. KP says he is making changes.
“KP has accepted that his authority teachings were at the root of the problem, and he assured me they will no longer be a part of GFA.”
Larry shares:
KP rang me this morning. Here is the picture as I see: First of all, Gayle, as the Board member tasked with this investigation, is taking it very seriously. He has spent the last two days at GFA. He has read all of the materials we have sent and has interviewed a number of people on the staff. He is en route back to California today. He will be contacting JD.
He has told KP that the allegations are true, and that all of the pain inflicted on dozens of people are the direct result of his teaching on authority. He told KP that this must change. KP is already moving to make changes at GFA, including re-writing the handbook and various rules. KP has accepted that his authority teachings were at the root of the problem, and he assured me they will no longer be a part of GFA.
Gayle also made clear that there must be a strong delineation between Gospel for Asia and Believer’s Church. He said the GFA must make it clear that it is not a church, but a multi-denominational ministry, and that Believer’s Church doctrine is not to be enforced on GFA staff. He also said that KP must make public who and what Believer’s Church is, from beads and robes to how it handles finances.
Gayle told KP that at some point answer all of the individual questions, rumors and concerns of the group.
KP said this is the hardest thing he’s ever been through, but that he is willing to do whatever is necessary to make things right. He wants GFA staff members to be free to be who God has called them to be.
Gayle said the Board will be monitoring the changes and new procedures to make sure they continue. KP said he welcomes that. There will be meetings with representatives of our group. KP said he will be contacting JD, and I encouraged him to make that contact soon.
There is still a very long way to go, and many hard issues to resolve, but I don’t want anyone to miss what momentous changes are taking place at GFA because of this group. Your courage in speaking out has started a seismic shift at GFA. Let us pray that it continues, and that the end result will be a ministry where people are truly free in Christ to serve Him with joy.
