I read everything you have written here. I remember the things you speak of. I was
there too. Sunland, Tangier, Torrejon, Lausanne, Hurlach, ...my memories mirror yours. I too was abused and maligned. I was taken advantage of. Accused of having an evil heart. I still hurt over these things. I too
have tried to write seeking reconciliation, to no avail. Maybe it is just not forthcoming. However, you seem angry. There's is something wrong in that. I am not sure what, but it smacks of unforgiveness. I too, was
wronged. But how will I ever know that I understand the "fellowship of His sufferings" if I am not exposed to the opportunity to be misunderstood, abused, hurt, and discarded by my own brothers. Christ was.Your attacks on
YWAM are justified and true. They are not lies. And it would seem that YWAM has harmed many people like you and me. [Jesus said, "What you have done unto the least of these, my disciples, you
have done unto Me!"] But is this the right way? Is this the way of the cross? Is maligning our brothers in the forums of the
world (Internet) the right way to bring correction and change? My parents have known Loren for nearly 35 years, but I understand exactly how you felt that night at the ground-breaking. Like you were garbage, left behind, discarded.
Certainly you are in a better place since you have acquired sound learning and doctrine. But I sense an absence of brokenheartedness over what our brothers are doing. Rather, you sound in opposition, debate, and challenge. How can
they hear and feel your pain if you shout angrily? Will you be in Southern California any time in the near future? I would love to have a cup of coffee. Maybe three.
