HOW WICKED IS G. CRAIGE LEWIS @PRDirector1 | TESTIMONY FROM AN ABUSE SURVIVOR

I want to read to you and I'm going to I'm going to you know let you know now this that I have here is 14 pages. This is a 14page letter that was given to me by a former member of ABC. And with this person's permission I have I have the the the privilege and opportunity to read it. And I'm going to read this this uh this letter. It it it is lengthy. Bear with me. um because I want to read it in its entirety. Then I want to make some comments. I'm going to share some scriptures and um and then that'll probably be it should the Lord say the same. The title of this letter is is is titled ABC which stands for Adamant Believer's Council. ABC Excommunication dated Monday, December 16th, 2019. Quote, I'm quoting now. I'm quoting what this letter reads. Number one, why I am speaking. The first video I saw from Seikko Woods was the interview of Delila Mosley. To be honest, up until this video, I was still patiently waiting on that phone call from ABC leadership that allowed me to return to fellowship with them. There was always something off to me about the process, but I figured that was just their own process due to them not knowing how to handle particular situations. I defended this position to f to friends and family members as well. However, once I started watching the videos, it was very apparent that the handling of my situation was just quote unquote business as usual end quote. [snorts] And I was very apparent that the handling of my situation, excuse me, was just business usual. and I was just waiting in vain. It said it made me very angry, very sad at the same time because if someone would have told me this is how they have treated other people, I would not have believed them. I thought they genuinely cared and somehow it had made it make sense in my head enough to ignore the headshakes as I would tell my story to my friends and family. I mean, I didn't agree either, but also wasn't the head of the church of that church. So, who was I to argue their process? Letter A, sub point A. I always strive to see the good in people, especially the ones I trust. I think it is important to speak a little bit about the type of person I am. And you'll see why this is important when I get to the story. I grew up very sheltered. I was in a church service almost every day of the week. and removed so much that I actually changed schools 15 different times before I graduated high school. This essentially put me in the position of the quote unquote new kid multiple times in my childhood while also being shy. I had no friends briefly for about a year in high school. I tried to shed that shyness and be a part of the crowd, but I still didn't really fit in. I got busy with a job and got married and moved away from home. I was still ignorant as to what was accepted as socially normal. Continuing on, I have to preface my story with this because I know that if I don't, my actions will be judged without the context of what was going through my head at the time. Let me also insert this trigger warning. I will be speaking about childhood molestation and that may upset some of you. So you may not want to hear any further until you are ready. During my childhood, I had experienced multiple instances of where I was exposed to others in a sexual manner with my first occurrence being at age four. This is significant because I need you to hear my heart in this. I remember to this day so many details all the way down to the color of this grown man's underwear. I remember him telling me not to say anything and I didn't want to betray his trust. I also remember when I did tell I was embarrassed not because of what had happened but because I didn't know what to call his genitals. Yet it came about that I told my mother. The next thing I know I was being taken to the hospital and police showed up at this man's house and I was asked by others multiple times if I was sure. as if my mother's words couldn't be trusted. There was no evidence of penetration, so there was no reason for any of them to believe me, but my mother did. Fast forward, I had other occurrences where I was touched, etc. And I did not tell. One day, my mother asked me if I had been touched by anyone, and I could not bring myself to lie to her. So, I shook my head yes. She asked me, "Who?" I named one name instead of the several that had existed. She then asked me if I wanted to tell the child's mother. At first, I was going to say no, but at that point, I thought that maybe she should know. I didn't know that that child would be talked to about it. I didn't know that the child would get in trouble for it. However, that is what happened. I was confronted by this child later in the week about how they got in so much trouble because I said something and I tried to lie and deflect the guilt by saying someone else had said it. That other person then confronted me about the lying and all of the children ended up leaving me alone sitting on the swing uh sitting on the swing set to play by myself. I have no recollection of how long I sat on that swing by myself, but I do know that was the last time I told my mother about any molestation or gave her any indication that has still been occurring. [clears throat] I didn't want that child to get in trouble. I just wanted the mother to have the knowledge. Even though things happen after that, still I never told a soul. And lastly, if I am upset with someone, I try to figure out in all the ways that I appreciate them. [clears throat] And I try to look at the positive repercussions of a given situation versus the negative ones in order to say to stay smiling because smiling through everything has always been my strength. Number two, why I would like anonymity. I'll be speaking on an occurrence of molestation, and I do not wish for my child's reputation to be revealed more than it has already. Some of you may have heard that something happened, while some may not have. Either [snorts] way, since this is on a public forum, I would like to protect my child's identity as much as possible. I know that the judging of my actions will occur, and I'm okay with that. Three, premarital counseling. Let's fast forward to when I was preparing to marry my second husband, Jeremy. We went to three different pastors to receive premarital counseling. One was the pastor of the church we attended. The second was his nephew to officiate our wedding and the third was of course going to be our new pastor once we had moved to DFW area uh to attend ABC. The first two gave us their advice and biblical guidance for free. Pastor Lewis Pastor Lewis charged us $300 in total for three 100, excuse me, for three 1-hour sessions, $100 each. We happily paid it in exchange for his time. The first time we met with him, he was getting to know us and our background. All he had to hear from me was that I grew up under a female pastor and he already knew quote unquote I was a Jezebel. But it didn't seem much it didn't seem like much else mattered uh about me. I told him about my first marriage and how my first husband had shot at me and he said that he was crazy quote unquote and that he that he didn't even consider what we had a marriage. This is important because he also told me he would have told me to go back to him and reconcile otherwise. I don't want to go too much into detail because it would take forever. So, fast forward. The second session is where he met with us separately. After talking to Jeremy, they came out of the room and he looked at me and told me that we needed to have a conversation before we move forward with the third session. Please note this was the extent of what he said about this next issue. Once we got in the car, Jeremy started it up and asked me where I wanted to go eat. I wanted to have this conversation which was so important. I could tell he was nervous but tried to be as understanding as I could. He told me he told me that when he was a child, he had touched some of his younger cousins inappropriately and got caught. My immediate thought went back to my previous experiences with other children who turned out to be god-fearing, loving adults raising beautiful children who had never had to deal with anything like that at all in their childhood. So for me, I figured he would be perfect for understanding why it was so important to keep my daughter safe. My words to him were something along the lines of quote unquote that was in the past or something like that. It never occurred to me that he would ever be sexually attracted to a child as an adult man with an available wife. [snorts] When we went back in for our third session, Pastor Lewis made the comment, quote, "Wow, she must really love you." End quote. When we told him that we were going to move forward with the marriage, then he made some other statements about some issues we might have to work through in our marriage. and we were finished with the counseling sessions. Number four, the offense. I believe, if my memory serves me correctly, that I had come home from a P31 Christmas wake party in early December 2017. 2017. P31 stands for Proverbs 31. Um, [clears throat] and it says, I state this because my daughter was homeschooled and I was a stay-at-home mom. So, I was with my child 24/7 except for the once a month P31 meeting for a few hours. She came with me to everything else. Back to the story. I came home. She played in my hair and eventually I put her to bed. However, as I was tucking her in this night, she let me know that her stepdad touched her inappropriately. I don't believe the details are what is important here, so I will refrain. I also won't go into everything I felt in that moment. But I know immediately that the urge to harm him. I calmed myself and asked her if she was sure. She was not upset. She just wanted me to know so maybe I could make him stop. I told her I would talk to him about it, kissed her on her forehead, and headed downstairs. Jeremy was laying on the bed already asleep. So I sat at the foot of the opposite side of the bed and woke him saying we needed to have a conversation. He laid there, asked me what's up, quote unquote. I told him what she had said in the room was just silent. After a few moments, I asked do you you you don't have anything to say? End quote. To which he simply replied, no. I asked again, and [clears throat] he responded, I did it. This is where I would tell you that was going on in my head. I thought of multiple ways to end his life. And then I thought about my daughter. How she would feel knowing that he died because she said something after he had told her not to. How she would feel if her mother was in jail. Then I thought about the fact that I couldn't kill him. That was murder. What would be the Christian thing for me to do? I had no tools or experience to help me through the situation. I didn't know what to do. [clears throat] Furthermore, I didn't have a job. How was I going to provide for us after not having a job for almost 3 years? I don't remember much else about that night aside from crying, not wanting to see his face, hear his voice, or even smell him. So, I went back upstairs and cried and held my baby and prayed. I couldn't call my family. I know I actually could have because they because that would be getting them involved in my marriage. I didn't call anyone. I was going to call or text Mr. Lewis. Then I decided to email him. This was trauma. I didn't want to interrupt anything his family may have had going on or if they were asleep or anything like that. [snorts] I was just trying to be considerate. I figured an email would be easiest because he would likely be in a mode to reply versus getting interrupted while he was in the middle of something else. I had his personal email, but it was in a notebook tucked away at the top of my closet downstairs in the room where I did not want to be. So, I went to the website and used the contact me box. And because I used the website, I did not have a copy of this email, nor could I reply to it. uh reply to it later or edit it or anything. I couldn't even read what I had written. I can get a copy from the police station now that the case is closed. By the way, for the next few days or so, I would wake up before he would wake and me and my daughter would leave the house and we would come back in the house long after he would have been asleep. Late nights and early rises to avoid him completely. Eventually, eventually though, one day he stayed up until almost 2:00 in the morning to catch us coming home. I put her to bed and agreed to hear what he had to say. He threw some scriptures at me and apologized. I don't really know what all he said because I honestly was not really listening. I just know somehow over the next few weeks I had gotten to the point of bearing my negative emotions and putting on a face to everyone else like everything was fine at home. Also, I did not let him know that I had sent an email and and he told me that he would initiate a conversation to talk to the pastor about it. I believe it was like one or two Sundays later when Mr. Lewis was making his way through the church after service when he asked me if everything was all right. I still didn't know if he had read the email or not, and I didn't know how to pull him to the side in the middle of everyone trying to hug him and meet him. So, my answer was, "I'm good." This happened twice. Both times, I was wondering if he had gotten the email or if Jeremy had reached out. I asked Jeremy maybe three different times and then gave up on it. At this point, I'm thinking that maybe there was a reason he hadn't found that email. Maybe I can figure this out on my own. My daughter seemed content with what had happened, but I knew I would have to tell her father about this, and that was a nightmare I was nowhere near prepared to face. I would like to add that I did end up asking Miss Sabatha for advice without telling her all that happened, and her advice was, quote, "Sometimes you just have to live as roommates for a while." End quote. I thought that was interesting because that was exactly how we had been living. So much so that my daughter actually asked me why I wasn't sleeping in my bed and that her stepdad was probably really lonely and I should go sleep in the bed with him. Moving on. Number five, the shunning. Now, fast forward to April 7th, 2018. I had sent the letter during the first week in December. So, this is 4 months later. Jeremy receives a text stating that pastor and the elders would like to meet with us. So, we go up there and there are police waiting in the back for him. They had me and my daughter wait outside while they talked to him in the conference room. Mr. Lewis came out and told me he had gotten my email and that the reason he hadn't seen it, it was because he had gotten lost in his spam folder. He then went on to tell me that we were going to have to leave the church and were not going to be allowed to come back until all of this got settled. I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest. Not only was this one of the most traumatic things I had never thought I would have to experience, but now I just lost the support and communication of the only group of people I had ever let my guard down fully with. This was my family. These were my friends. Now when I'm at my weakest point in my in my adulthood, all form of support was being ripped from me. I even told him I had wished we would have have found that he would never have found that email. The police did not arrest him. They sent us home and they said that they would forward the report to the correct jurisdiction. So we went home and they arrived the next day to arrest him and take him to jail. CPS also came to start the investigation. There are a lot of details in this part of the story, but for the sake of time, I will skip over all of that. You see, I will skip over all of that happened that day. However, that night, my daughter did ask where her stepdad was. I told her that he had to take care of some business and he would be gone for 30 days, the length of time that the restraining order had been set to. She cried for him because she didn't get to tell him bye before he left and she was going to miss him. Fast forward to May. I was invited out to the movies by a sister who had information about what had happened. She figured we could use some time out of the house and she was right. So, we went to the theater and there were other ladies from ABC in attendance. After the show, we all took a picture together. It ended up on social media somewhere, I guess, because I got a text from Aaron Lewis, I believe, asking if I could come in and talk to the pastor after service at 1:00 p.m. I thought he was calling me to find out the progress on the case. I was wrong. He had called me in to tell me that he had seen the photo and that I shouldn't be hanging out with ABC members so as not to get them involved in the case. He then went on to say other things like he was getting investigated and he hadn't even done anything. He [clears throat] also stated, quote, "I told you about him when I was counseling you guys. I married y'all." End quote. But what kind of broke my heart a little was that I kept pleading with them and they still offered no advice besides leave. Mr. Ba turned to me and told me that I wasn't innocent in all of this. Of course, I'm already feeling guilty about this whole situation, but I still to this day don't fully understand what she meant by that. She also said that she had seen some evidence that my daughter had been exposed to something sexual when dealing with the other children. When I recanted that no one had told me, she stated that Jeremy had been told. I don't remember which one of them said that my daughter would probably hate Jesus and is likely mad at me due to how I handled the situation, but I do remember it being said. I also remember Ken Rose answered my I didn't know what to do quote unquote plea with a crime has been committed and there are legal ramifications to go along with that quote unquote. I left even more confused than the first time I had been quote unquote put on leave. Miss did give me a bit of advice. She reminded me that ABC does not have a program for my situation, but I could try a different slash bigger church because they have programs for women in this type of situation. I could not do that. I've been giving to and supporting this ministry for the last 3 plus years. How could I go to another church with my hand out asking for help and I had never even supported their ministry with a single attendance? She gave me a hug as she escorted me out and I had remembered I was supposed to be receiving or getting a recipe from Miss Anarie. Missa told me to text her and ask her for it as if that was no big deal. However, when I text her, I received no message, no response, excuse me, [clears throat] not even a no. And she adds in parenthesis, see below. And in the parenthesis here is a text message here between the person and Miss Amarie regarding the uh the recipe. So I fast forward to number six. Number six, communication. Communications. May 1st, 2018. CPS advised me that they were closing the case and I text Mr. Lewis to see if I would be able to return to service. He responded in a group message that I assumed include Mr. Ken Rose and Mr. Aaron Lewis. I didn't have their number saved in my phone. See conversations below. And in next the next uh page here we have text message conversations here between the individual who wrote this letter and G Craig, Aaron Lewis and uh it says uh Ken Rose in a group conversation right here. Next page here as well. All these are text conversations that she has asking about the the status of her membership and when uh when will she'd be able to return. May 6th, the text I received after going to the movies the night before, I tried to understand. I really did. I thought as I sat with it that I would start to make sense. that it would start to make sense, but it never did. About a month later, I was looking for someone to come and fix my back door. The police had forced their way in while I was out uh when I while I was out at an appointment to confiscate all of my electronics. In doing so, they destroyed my entire frame and also separated my bricks from my wall outside. While I was looking for someone, it occurred to me that I could possibly have one of the guys that did carpentry work at the church to fix it since I trusted them. We talked back and forth briefly on Messenger. And then the conversation just fell off completely. 3 days later, I let them know that I had found a contractor and they viewed the message, but again, no response. I was a woman sleeping with my daughter in a house whose back door wasn't secure and I couldn't even get a response for help that I was willing to pay for. Number seven, my daughter. I am grateful that Jeremy is no longer a part of our lives. However, my daughter was very regretful during the process. Let me see something here. Okay. Um, I'm very grateful that Jeremy is no longer a part of our lives. However, my daughter was very regretful during the process. Nearing near the end of April, she has started counting down the days until Jeremy would be returning to us. And I finally had to tell her that she wasn't returning, that he wasn't returning, excuse me. She cried so hard. This reaction led me to know that I understood my daughter just as well as I thought I had. In spite of everything that I was told, she asked, quote, "Why can't we just forgive him?" End quote. I responded that she could forgive him, but he couldn't come back. She asked why he couldn't just be punished for doing quote unquote the dishes for a month or something. But I still had to restate that he couldn't return. My baby was heartbroken. This was why it was so hard for me to harm him. She loved him and I was right. She just wanted him to stop. This was what I was searching for help in dealing with. Number eight, my sisters. I love these women of God because they would never know how much just the fact that they checked on meant. I was alone and trying to make it as best I could. There were nine total women who text and called me back to check on me. I did not tell them what had happened, just that something had happened and that I would be gone for a while. If they ever hear this story, I would love to give a special thanks to them for the strength they lent me in prayer and just genuine care. There was one who actually kept up with the phone calls and another who actually sold a financial gift in my direction. I also must add there was a brother who also checked on us but he didn't realize we had separated at the time and he were just trying to get in touch with Jeremy but he still deserves a mention. These people reached out when the very people that knew how deeply I was hurting never even picked up the phone once or gave us a second thought. This has been a very hard transition. Number nine, my health. The only person outside of my family that understood my actions was my child's father. Surprisingly, as upset as he was with me for not telling him back in December when it when it had happened, he understood the severity and struggle I had with trying to figure out how to deal with the situation. Even more, he was the main person who helped me not to spiral deeper into depression behind everything going on. The significant thing about about this is he doesn't even believe in the Bible. Yet he showed me more grace than anyone else. [sighs] [snorts] Mr. Lewis had also Mr. Lewis had called him crazy. [snorts] Yet, he didn't turn his back on me. He didn't try to take our child from me. Instead, he buckled down and did everything he could to try to help me in every way that he possibly could think of. [snorts] I think it important to point out that he was hurting, too. This was his baby that was that was harmed in this way, too. But I say all this to say that I don't think that the way my situation was handled [snorts] was right. I also do not appreciate he has treated other brothers and sisters in Christ. How do we help one another if we shun them in their time of need? End quote. Um, [clears throat] just give me a minute, please. Just give me a minute. Let me just say this. >> [clears throat] >> Let me just say this. Some of you want to know. You You want to know why? I'm not going to stop dealing with G. Craig Lewis. It's because [snorts] of this. Because of this. Why? That's why I'm not going to stop. Because of what this sister has gone through and several other people have gone through. That's why I'm [snorts] not going to stop. The only way I'm going to stop The only way [clears throat] I'm going to stop is [snorts] if G. Craig Lewis shuts his ministry down and steps down. [snorts] But if he doesn't, I'm going to stay on him with every fiber of my being. I'm going to stay on them. I got four daughters. I couldn't even imagine. I couldn't even imagine somebody touching my daughters like that. [snorts] Couldn't imagine it. And the thing that kills me, aside from the fact, [clears throat] Aside from the fact, [snorts] aside from the fact that a so-called church is not willing to help people deal with trauma like this, [snorts] is that you have a man void of the spirit of God [snorts] who showed more restraint than a professing pastor that claims to be a Christian that claims to have the spirit of God and a wife of a pastor who claim to have the spirit of God. That's what kills me. This man, though made in the image of God, showed more grace and compassion in that situation [snorts] than a person who claims to be saved and showed zero compassion. So [snorts] this letter deserved it deserved its own live today. James chapter 2 verse 13. Judgment will be merciless to the one who shows no mercy. G. Great Craig Lewis showed no mercy to this woman. Aaron Lewis showed no mercy to this woman. Ken, whatever his name is, showed no mercy. Ken Rose showed no mercy to this woman. And some of you want me to show mercy to him. Some of you want me to back off from him. A spiritual terrorist, a wolf. You want me to show mercy to him? A predator, a savage. What about the people like this woman suffering? What about the people that I talk to almost every day? What about the people that are struggling right now? What about those people? [snorts] What about those people? What are we to say to those people if I to back off or I would to step away and step down? What are we to say to those people? WHAT AM I TO SAY to to a Delila Mosley? What am I to say to her? What am I to say to to a Kelly Sosa? What am I to say? WHAT AM I ABOUT TO say to Lonnell Marian or Levina Marian? What am I to say to these people? WHAT AM I TO SAY to Loretta White and her family, her husband? What am I to say to these people? I just saw a picture that my brother Lonnell posted up that they had a you kind of could say a reunion, had dinner with members that left ABC. And you know what all of them had in common? You want to know what all they had in common? What they had in common was they were they were all affected and abused and mistreated. But I guess they're all lying, right? I guess they're lying. Yeah, they they got to be lying. [snorts] I I would wonder what all of you call these people liars in their faith. Those of you who who are watching this live right now, those of you who are who attending ABC, you know, Jay Brian, you're probably there. I probably see you, too. Kit Sosa, you probably watching. G Craig, you probably definitely watching because you you're a liar. You are a bald-faced lie. You know, you watch social media. A month ago you said you didn't. Last week you admitted that you did. So you're just a walking lie. But you know what the funny thing about this situation in a [clears throat] sad sense though? Some of you have more compassion for the wolf, for the predator, than those who are their prey. And I say this to your shame. I say this to your shame. Every time I read this letter, it breaks my heart. [snorts] every time because people should not have to deal with that. People should not have to go to a church [snorts] to be treated the way that they've been treated. But some of you, [applause] you look at me as being hard. You look at me as being tur. You look at me as being heavy-handed against a person like G. Craig, oh, by the who by the way made millions off of doing the same thing that I'm kind of doing to him right now. So, let me give y'all some verses real quick and then I'm going to let y'all go cuz I'm trying to be submissive to the spirit of God in this. Some of you have have complained cuz I've seen your comments. Some of you have complained about the about the mocking and [snorts] about the uh sarcasm and and and all these things that that are now pointing at George's way. Now, I'm going to say one part before I before I get back to this to my statement about George and and the s and the sarcasm and the mocking. I posted that video up regarding G. Craig Lewis and the inappropriate relationships he's been having and some of them have been sexual because there's been proof on that. There's a hard drive of that. There's proof on that. Um, but the video that I posted up with this with the lady, I want to encourage all of you. I want to encourage all of you. Let's not focus on the woman. Let's focus on the man. Let's focus on the man that was videotaping the woman that was not his wife. Focus on him, not her. Let's not make the jokes about her. I I have no problem if you if you mock and if you jeer and if you ridicule and if you use satire and sarcasm against him because you know why? Number one, it's biblical. What did you say, Seo? You heard what I said. It's biblical. You got to show me book chapter verse. I'll show it to you. Besides, on the top of my head, I'll show it to you right here. Ecclesiastes 3:1. There's a time and place for everything under the sun. Everything has a time and a place. It's a time to mock. It's time not to mock. It's a time to jer. It's time not It's time not to jer. It's a time to ridicule. It's time not to ridicule. It's a time to laugh. It's time not to laugh. It's a time to use satire. It's time not to use satire. You know what? Now is the time. And you know to who? To G. Craig Lewis. Why? Because he's done it to people for the past 20 years. That's how he made his money. mocking people, humiliating people, talking about people, blasting people, calling people gay that were not gay. He's made millions doing that. And now some of you want me to ease up. Some of you want me to tell people, "Oh, let's not talk about him. Let's let's we need to be praying for you." I don't pray for wolves. I put wolves down. I put wolves to sleep. That's what I do to wolves. I don't domesticate a wolf. I take wolves out. The Bible says there's a time and place for everything under the sun. Not only that, Jesus says in Matthew 7:1 and2, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." For here's the reason why Jesus said it because he put the four the four clause in there. It's because it's a purpose clause for the same measure or the same way you judge, you shall be judged. Is it possible, ladies and gentlemen? Is it possible that Galatians 6:7 and 8 is coming to pass? Is being rightly and properly fulfilled against G. Craig Lewis? What is Galatians 6:7 and 8? Do not be deceived. God is not mocked. For whatever a man sws, that includes George Craig Lewis, that he shall also reap, for those who sow to the flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but those who sow to the spirit shall from the same spirit reap life and peace. His whole existence as far as ministry is concerned has been on mocking people. You see, some of y'all don't want that. Y'all want me to give grace to him while he gives none to the people who did anything to him? I'm not doing that. Well, who are you to to to to treat him like that? Who is Craig treat people way? I am a biblical instrument of judgment against G. Craig Lewis. How about that? There's three realms and three institutions that God has ordained in this earth realm. The family, the church, and the state. And all three implement discipline in the jurisdiction and the spheres that they have been given authority over. And take a while. Guess what I am? I'm part of the church. And since he has flunkies that don't hold him accountable because they don't have biblical eldership there, they have flunky yesmen there. Then he's not accountable to anybody. So we as the church hold him accountable by our departure. We as a church hold him accountable by our dollars and our pocketbooks.
