I think they are still going out. There were thousands of people who responded so I think it will take awhile.

I will look into the board member points…

They did remove me from their general mailing /pleas for money, but I got this new DVD package with the plea for donating settlement monies. It’s the first I had heard of Francis Chan’s involvement. After watching the interview with he and K.P. I was stunned by the level of deception. K.P. and GFA are the victims. Sick.

Is he onside with it, or simply outvoted by the remainder of the board? (I guess I am assuming that something as blatant as this appeal would surely require board approval, but given GFA’s past track record that may be a shaky assumption?)

Also wondering … has there been any information on the new board member who was to replace KP’s wife?

Regarding the audits – it is beyond my comprehension how people will continue to support any charitable organization (and I include church’s in this) that is not prepared to make its financial statements and/or audit reports freely available. You used to have to ask for them, and 15/20 years ago I could understand that because there were some costs to actually print copies of the reports but now they can be provided with no cost via the Internet.

As a professional accountant I will be the first to agree that a clean audit report does not necessarily prove that everything is above board, but a reluctance/refusal to make financial statements/audit reports public absolutely should be considered a red flag.
