September 26, 2014 – Larry tells Diaspora of KP’s 2-hour visit

KP visits with Diaspora member Larry to ask his advice.

“His words were that he is committed to changing GFA so that no one would be hurt in the future and wants to make amends to each person who was hurt in the past.”

Larry shares:
Well, folks, my old friend KP came by for a visit with Gayle and me. We had a two-hour talk. Basically, KP wanted to know what he should do to make all of the wrongs right. My advice was to be honest, humble himself and do what needed to be done to change the oppressive culture of GFA. His words were that he is committed to changing GFA so that no one would be hurt in the future and wants to make amends to each person who was hurt in the past. He also said he is working with the US board to get the initial meeting with our group together, hopefully October 13, and possibly at our house. We will see how this plays out. Please pray.

Dear Brother KP,

That is fine. I realize that October 2 is approaching quickly and not all board members may be available. We’d like to proceed with the meeting even if not all can attend. However, if October 12 or 13 work better, we are also available on those dates.

Please let me know how the staff meeting went.

Thanks,
JD

P.S. I hope you don’t mind me copying the board members on all of our communications going forward. Thanks for understanding.

Dear Brother JD, thank you for your email regarding the possible Oct 2 conference call meeting with our board members and our leadership. While I think this is a good idea, I did not have the opportunity yet to communicate with all of the board and leadership for their permission and decision about it. I am working on it. I will get back to you as soon as I get to hear from them. Blessings on you dear brother. KP

Hi Brother KP,

Thank you for speaking with me and Larry yesterday, and for scheduling the October 2 phone conference meeting. We were encouraged by your acknowledgement that 75 witnesses cannot be refuted, and that you now feel that rather than being an attack from the Enemy, it was the Lord who brought this to you. I was also glad to hear that you would share these things with the staff today, so that hopefully our many friendships that were suddenly cut off might be restored.

Larry and I didn’t clarify this on our call yesterday, but we expect the Canadian board to also be present in the October 2 meeting from 6-10pm Central time.

With a large percentage of former Canadian staff also having joined with us to testify to and address the same five issues going on there under your leadership, they are an equally important part of this group. So naturally I’m sure you understand that their board needs to be there. Can you please confirm this?

We will make sure to have one or two former Canadian staff on the call as part of our group.

Also, we believe that it will be best if we use our WebEx account for the conference call. This would allow you and up to 6 others to be on video conference if you wish, and it would make it much easier for questions to be passed to the moderator through the built-in chat. I will set up a premium account that can support up to 100 attendees so we won’t have to worry about any limitations there.

Thanks,

JD, for all of us

September 18, 2014 * JD & Larry call KP: KP promises to meet with us and to inform staff

K.P. says that 75 signers can not all be wrong, that the Lord is using us, and offers to give us the group meeting that we were looking for.

He promises to tell the staff the next morning that we are not trying to take down the ministry and that God is using us. We request that he do this because we value our friends on staff.

K.P. does not admit any specific wrongs or concede that we are correct in our accusations.

“Listen JD, tomorrow, tomorrow we have our entire staff meeting.”

Phone conversation transcript

Note: As far as we know he did not tell the staff, or at least adequately, because many staff still believe and have even told us that we are being used by the Enemy to try and take down the ministry, and that “there are two sides to every story” and even though we served there, somehow we don’t understand the “other side.”
