I knew Bro. Sims while he was a part of the FL District. Great man of God. Sad.

Legally the members of the union can file claims against any and all officers of this union. On one side he was given authority and on the other side, they had a breech in "internal controls". He could both sign the checks according to the news and modify the records.

The article says he has over 1100 at his church? Wow! Already.

If the HMD records are what they appear ... the church he claims to have funneled some of the money to ... was a CIAD (Church in A Day) project.

800k for a church that already had funding and built through the org ???

Seems like he was bilking from several sides.

When did this "home missions" pastor leave the org?

"Crossroads Church ..." ??? Sounds like one of those emergent churches. Guy probably preaches with his shirt untucked as well.

Kind of unrelated, but when googling the church to see if there were any more articles, I found this. Neat idea at least.
