STORY OF ANOTHER VVIP FAMILY...COULD THIS FAMILY BE RUNNING ITS EMPIRE FROM A CITY THAT IS FAMOUS FOR NAWABI CUISINE AS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CHICKEN BIRYANI AND KEBABS

I have tried to be objective, and not identify the persons, and the blog is not written from the city where it is happening, but from Chennai, so don’t try to find out who wrote
-----------------------------------------------------------
A sad note on how your offering money is spent in the LEF today (Chicken Biriyani and Kebas make an Instant Retreat)
There is a VVIP family in the LEF, when a distinguished member travels to a City, that person will only fly. (Even though it is a purely personal family trip the bill will be written to the LEF, meaning your offerings). The questions come, will any / all evangelists be allowed to fly to visit their family members / at least given bus fare. The LEF HQ has to regulate such travel and give approvals, but it follows a terrible process. The leaders will ask “Did you ask the Lord about this, what He said”, the answer will invariably be “Yes, He told me to go” forgetting that in the bible time there were no airplanes. More funny things will happen. The VVIP will visit the LEF centre in the city on a Sunday and the Evangelist in charge will give a royal salute and ask them to preach, so a watery mess will be served and the Evangelist in charge has to say” what a splendid, useful, timely message so apt for my /our needs, God brought you here today, Please come home for a hearty lunch” (otherwise he will be dismissed). Why this drama and fraud? (the entire bill will be written to the LEF, meaning your offerings)
Suddenly another family member (with their family) will travel to the same city (by Air) and accompany the first VVIP (by Air), to the first city, the explanation given would be “Time is more important than money, and Love is more important than anything in this world” OK but not from others Christian offerings, let the VVIPS use their own hard earned money to meet their philosophies. Such an abuse of position will never be recorded as neither the LEF HQ will maintain accounts / permissions given, the feeling is, it is money given to you (VVIP family) by God so spend it. OK will any other evangelist be allowed similar facilities, maybe when? Let me add a statement “Blood is thicker than water”. Hard earned money is given as tithes and offerings, not for personal exclusive living expenses. Just remember this next time you put in the offerings
Secondly a junior member will suddenly phone on Thursday” I am free this coming Sunday”, Immediately Senior will say “ Come to this city I will arrange a retreat”, so on Saturday, Juniors family will arrive and Senior will arrange a vehicle and all will visit the city and have a nice Chicken Rice (Biriyani) and Kabab (fried Chicken) lunch and a picnic (Oh no an Instant Retreat, like Instant coffee and 2 minute noodles). No new person would have come to the Retreat (total number of persons would have been 8 all who would have attended for 25+ years) , No one would have been touched by the message, (As usual all expenditure will be written to the LEF, meaning your offerings). For the record no ordinary Evangelist will ever be allowed to visit his home town / state for a ministry/ be allowed to take his family on a preaching trip. Will the LEF HQ stress that at least 1 month notice should be given before a Retreat, so that people can pray and prepare, Will the LEF HQ also stress that, preachers would be sent by it to stop picnics, No it won’t. Then why do we need a LEF HQ and a Board (except that all their expenses are met out your offerings), Why should we support lumps and loonies with hard earned money given sacrificially, what is the value brought by such individuals.
Will such an abuse of power be allowed in any equal sized Private Company / Government Organization / Christian Organization / any other Church? No it won’t but then the LEF is not like them it is a family. Exactly it is one Family, let it work to earn its money (and not steal from mine and your offering).

ARE PEOPLE SHYING AWAY FROM ATTENDING LEF CHURCH SERVICES?

Here is the most recent picture of LEF HQ service. This picture is not from any regular Sunday but from Palm Sunday: 

What happened HQ team? Are LEF people slipping through the fingers? LEF rogues might now have to start paying people to come and fill the empty spaces like politicians do to gather people at political rallies. John Daniel may be furious when he comes back in May with his circus troupe if he has no audience to put up the show for. Come on guys, get on the game lest you all get consumed by Daniel family wrath.
