Former UPCI Pastor pleads guilty to embezzlement

http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/sep...news-breaking/

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

Re: Former UPCI Pastor pleads guilty to embezzleme

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.

http://www.homemissionsdivision.com/...anProjects.xls

http://www.homemissionsdivision.com/...Communique.pdf

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?

Re: Former UPCI Pastor pleads guilty to embezzleme

Seems as of 2009 his attendance high at the church was 181 ...

I wonder how many love offerings have been taken up to help pay for this "demonic assault" against him?

Very sad. I hate that this is fodder for discussion as much as I hate the sin involved.

The guy apparently acted like union leaders do. Union leaders have been abusing funds for years.

I have to admit that I'm a bit hurt personally only because Bro. Sims was such a genuine guy. He was very involved in youth ministry and one of the nicest people that I've ever met in the org. I was shocked when this hit the papers.
