Introduction: Prior to sending this
newsletter, Stan and Jews for Jesus had been informed in a
detailed 12 page letter (click
here) that criminal complaints had been
filed against Stan regarding his handling of donor
money. The board of Stan Telchin Ministries
acknowledged receipt of that letter (click
here) but Stan remained in ministry anyway. The
audit that took place in late November 2000, to Stan's
unawares, showed that Stan Telchin Ministries had already
been forfeited by the state of Maryland in which it was
incorporated (click
here). Undaunted by this, Stan quickly
moved to Florida where he would continue to solicit, receive
and spend donor money on everything from remodeling his
house, personal health
care, custom built
furniture, Roto
Rooter to unplug his home toilets, his home
cable TV to include HBO,
the leasing of a new
car
for his wife Elaine, installation of a ceiling
fan
in his home, a
vacation, new glasses, his personal
counseling, etc., etc. The Manatee County
Sheriff's office opened a criminal investigation and due to
"multi jurisdictional" issues would turn the investigation
over to the FBI (click
here). The FBI would eventually turn the
investigation over to the IRS and within just a few weeks of
Stan sending this newsletter, the IRS would call Stan to an
audit and Stan Telchin Ministries was shortly thereafter
dissolved (click
here). Please note that all wording in red
is my commentary as to what he has written in the
newsletter.
In this
newsletter, you can see how Stan spiritualizes everything
and twists Scripture to his own benefit. In the
process he outright lies to his supporters and misleads them
as Stan visciously attacks those who have tried to hold him
accountable for his theft of donor funds and his chronic and
limitless deception. After your read this newsletter, take
time to read the treasurer and board member of Stan Telchin
Ministries as he writes and discloses what he uncovered
during the November 2000 audit by clicking

Donors and Supporters of Stan Telchin Ministries
ARE YOU UNDER
ATTACK?
There comes a time in every
believer's life, when he or she comes under attack.
How we handle those attacks is important.
What Stan
calls an "attack" was actually a concerted effort to get him
to stop stealing donor money.
Do you remember when Joseph
was accused by Potipher's wife in Genesis 39? What happened?
Because Joseph would not do what she wanted him to do, she
filled her mouth with lies and accused Joseph
maliciously. But God took what Potipher's wife meant
as harm to Joseph and turned it around. God blessed Joseph
abundantly and he prospered.
We don't know what Joseph
did or tried to do to defend himself against Potipher's
wife's accusations. As far as we know Joseph didn't even try
to defend himself.
That's the way it usually is
when someone tried to attack your character. (And there are
always people who are willing to do that.) Your character
has to speak for itself!
Stan, your
character does speak for itself as shown by your theft of
donations and your hostile actions against your family to
try to cover it up.
Haven't you found that you
really can't defend yourself when people spread tales about
you? If you tried to defend yourself every time someone said
something negative about you, you would find yourself on the
defensive, spending hour-after-hour fighting
windmills.
Tales were
not being spread about you. The fact is, you got caught
red-handed stealing donor money. That is not a tale -
that is a fact and to remind you of that, click
here
and read what your own treasurer and board member wrote
concerning his audit of the financial records of Stan
Telchin Ministries.
God is your
defense.
True, but
God never defends deception such as you have
practiced. How many times have you been caught in
public lying during your testimony while speaking in
churches? You should click
here, Stan, and read what all has been
uncovered. How many times have you stood in pulpits
and talked about your Ph.D.??? You don't have a Ph.D.
and never have. You have lied to thousands of people
about your education and qualifications. It is all on
tape - you speaking and lying in your own voice. Even Focus
on the Family caught your Ph.D. comments and as a result,
canceled a second appearance by you (click
here). They also no longer sell your
books.
Think, too, about the way
David responded when King Saul brought his armies to attack
him. First Samuel 26 tells us that David had it in his power
to slay King Saul, but instead of doing so, he said: "The
Lord shall smite him." (v10). Instead of doing what would
please his flesh, David did what he knew would please God.
He trusted God knowing that God was his strength.
God is
always our strength but never does He protect sin and
especially sin committed by spiritual leaders in the church
against the Body of Christ. Every time you stood in a pulpit
and lied, it was a sin against God's people and everytime
you stole a donor's dollar, you sinned against God's
people. Even this deceptive newsletter is a sin
against God's people as you use it to try to deceive
Believers.
And what did David write
about people who had bad-mouthed him? You might want
to re-read Psalm 59. Here David asked God to deliver him
from his enemies. He said they "belch out with their
mouths!"
Joyfully at verse 9 David
declared: "God will laugh at them."
We have to know what David
knew - he was in covenant with Almighty God!
David was in
covenant with Almighty God. Don't compare yourself to
one of the greatest figures in the Bible who when he
sinned fell before God and confessed it and repented. What
made David such a great man of God was his view of himself -
he recognized how far short he was from what God wanted and
his life was marked with continual repentance.
And we have to do what David
did.
David did
rely on God for strength but the other thing David did is
repent when he sinned. You have not done this.
Repentance is not a part of your personal journey of
faith.
David said to the
Philistine: "You uncircumcised Philistine - how dare you
challenge a covenant-keeping man of God!!! I killed a lion.
I killed a bear! And your head will fall off too!
David took no thought about
the words of this deviant. Neither do we pay attention to
the frail words of others.
Your refusal
to listen to my husband and the treasurer and board member
of Stan Telchin Ministries, and their words of warning, cost
you dearly. Your refusal to listen and your continued
effort to cover up what you had been doing led to criminal
investigations (click
here).
God will prove the covenant
man's right every time. God says he will laugh at your
enemies and put them into confusion.
This is true
but is qualified: God will prove the covenant man is right
everytime the covenant man walks humbly in the righteousness
of God. You were not proven right as shown by the
seriousness of the criminal investigations you were under
(click
here) and the eventual closure of Stan Telchin
Ministries following the IRS audit (click
here). God would not protect David's sin
and He did not protect your sin.
Our confidence is in the
Word of the Holy God. The man who truly understands
his covenant with God will have what he says.
If you truly
understood what a covenant with God is, you would not have
stolen donor money and lied about it. You would not
have lied during your testimony and you most certainly would
not have taken legal action against your own family such as
firing me as ministry secretary (click
here), trying to evict us (click
here) and then trying to extort our signatures
on a gag agreement (click
here).
Offenders of God's Law and
God's covenant people need to watch out! Confusion is
already creeping toward them.
There was
nothing confusing about what you did: it was
straightforward as you kept meticulous records documenting
thoroughly your theft of donor money (click
here
to read my account of what you did with donor money).
LESSONS TO
LEARN
Every time there is an
offense or slander, - regardless of the source - regardless
of how evil to us the person is - at that moment we must
listen for God's voice. He knew this attack was coming and
we must listen for any lesson of correction that he might
want us to learn.
God does
know and what you call an "attack" was actually the
righteousness of God exposing you. If you really had
heard God's voice you would have repented and stopped what
you were doing. You didn't - that is why criminal
complaints were filed against you to force you to stop
stealing God's money entrusted to you. It worked
too. The criminal investigations unfolded
(click
here) and your ministry was ultimately dissolved
after the IRS audited (click
here).
This does not mean that the
person who accuses us is right. But it can mean that God is
using the event to teach us. He may want us to do something
differently in our lives.
God wanted
you to do something differently in your life - quit stealing
and quit lying and restore the relationships you shattered
in the name of Christ.
Consider: the stronger the
attack, the greater might be the lesson we are to learn for
the future!
You learned
no lesson. You remain in ministry and you continue to lie
from pulpits as shown by the recent New Jersey
Jewish News article in which you were exposed for saying that
you were "Man of the Year" for the Hebrew Home for the
Aged. You were never such as they not only never gave
you that award, they have never ever even given out that
award! Click
here
to read more commentary.
The more vile the enemy, the
greater might be the reward which will be ours!
I have known
you my entire life and the theme of your life has always
been, if anyone says anything or does anything you don't
like, they are the enemy. This is why you have left a
trail of broken relationships throughout your entire life --
including that of my mother who in the last two years of her
marriage to you got so tired of the conflict with you she
demanded you go get professional
counseling. You did and you used donor money to
pay for it. Click here to see some
of those transactions.
Would you believe that today
there are major, established, ministries under attack by
uncircumcised Philistines. Some are motivated by hate.
Others by greed. In every case God exposed them and provided
a double-blessing for ministry. Praise be to our just God,
Jehovah!
God is
just. I agree. He prevailed and had you exposed and
Stan Telchin Ministries was shut down. That's
justice!
The Satanic purpose of these
attacks is to take the ministry's focus away from God's
purpose and drive the ministers into anger, rage and
discouragement.
If there is
one thing you were not focused on, it was God. You
were focused on one thing: money. You used donations to fund
your lifestyle at the expense of God fearing people who
thought they were supporting ministry. They had no
idea you spent their money they way you did. Do you
really think that donors gave you money so you could use
over $1,200.00 to pay for your personal counseling?
Or to lease Elaine a new
car? Or to put tile
flooring in your house? Obviously you did because
that is exactly what you did!
But that is not what God
wants to see happen. God says that with Him - we can
laugh at those who are attacking!
Spiritual
warfare is never a laughing matter. I don't think we
should be laughing when families are being torn to shreds
because of sin. Your sin destroyed our family.
But we are also to pray for
them. We must pray for them daily according to the perfect
will of God even as we forgive them.
If you were
a man of prayer you would have had a quiet spirit and you
would have heeded my countless pleas to come to the table
and make right what you did. You refused every step of
the way. You are not a man of prayer.
And then God wants you to
laugh at your enemies! You have already won!
Your
theology is messed up - God does not tell us to laugh at our
enemies. He tells is to pray for them and hold them up
before God.
Jesus has forgiven us,
blessed us and put His divine nature in us. He is perfecting
us and He calls us blameless and holy. And we can keep it
that way.
You are not
blameless and you are not Holy. You have sinned and
you sinned against your family and the Body of Christ.
Jesus would never hire a lawyer and go after his family the
way you did yours. You even hired a lawyer and tried
to evict my family and
I! Click here to see the letter
from your lawyer. You even succeeded in getting
Jews for
Jesus to lie for you as well as other
pastors.
One ministry I know of had
an uncircumcised Philistine call the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and made fallacious allegations against the
ministry. The complainer contacted newspapers and many
of tthe covenant partners to say that the ministry they were
supporting was under federal investigation! Don't you
know that God is laughing at this complainer! The FBI is
also probably laughing.
Actually,
you have your facts wrong here - again. No
"uncircumcised Philistine" went to the FBI.
The Manatee County
Sheriffs took the investigation to the FBI because
you were found to be using the USPS and the Internet to
solicit donations for a forfeited
corporation across state lines. While you thought
the FBI was laughing, they actually were taking lengthy
statements from my husband and the treasurer and board
member of Stan Telchin Ministries. Eventually, they would
forward the matter to the IRS and after the audit, your
ministry was dissolved. I can assure you, Stan, the
FBI was not laughing and when this newsletter was sent to
them, they were not amused.
Come on people, laugh at the
attempts of your enemy. It will do you good. Laughter
is good medicine.
You are
under a federal criminal investigation and you are laughing
about it? If indeed you think it is comical, then
truly your spiritual narcissism has reached heights even I
am unable to comprehend.
So the lesson is this: When
attacked, listen for the voice of God. And do what God says
to do. Get things right. Make whatever changes need to be
made. And when that has been done, laugh and laugh and
laugh.
If you
practiced what you preached, none of this would have ever
happened. I bet you weren't laughing when the IRS
called you to an audit and I bet you weren't laughing when
Stan Telchin Ministries was dissolved. I wasn't
laughing - in fact, I have never laughed about any of this
and I know God has never laughed either. His heart was
more grieved than mine was over what you did. God
never laughs at sin, Stan.
NOW THE GOOD
REPORT
I am happy to tell you that
our partnership with Jews for Jesus is proving to be an
enormous blessing! The "Behold Your God" campaign is
having great success.
An enormous
blessing? It proved to be a real curse for Terrace Palms
Community Church. Jews for Jesus scheduled you to
speak there and after you did, they found out you were
already under a criminal investigation and then they filed
an additional criminal complaint against you. Then,
they announced it in their Sunday morning bulletin!
Click here to see
it.
In every city where meetings
have already been held hundreds of people have opened their
ears and hearts to learn more about Jesus, - Gentiles as
well as Jews.
I am thankful that I have
been able to minister to the campaign workers and encourage
them.
Your first
calling is not to minister to campaign workers; your first
calling is to minister to your family. This is
something you will not do. I have not heard from nor
seen you for six years and when I write you return my mail
unopened and marked "refused.' Click
here to see the mail you have returned to me. You've also
refused all contact with your grandson for six years.
You tried to evict him
too,
remember? I guess he is "the enemy" too, though I
cannot possibly come up with one thing a nine year old
little boy did to warrant such harsh treatment at the hands
of his grandfather.
I am grateful that pastors
continue to open their pulpits to me so that I can help them
teach their congregations God's will for the Jewish people
and the Church - and how we can work together to better do
God's will.
Terrace
Palms Community Church sure wasn't grateful. They will
never have you back!
The work is far from done,
no matter how Satan seeks to destroy it.
Yes, you
will keep going on and on doing what you are doing even
after having been completely exposed as being a fraud.
You will continue on in your self-deluded state having no
appreciation for the fact that God knows all and a day of
reckoning is coming. I pray you will come to your
senses and make right what you have done before it is too
late.
Jews for Jesus continues the
"Behold Your God" campaign and - so long as God gives me
strength, - I will continue to partner with them in bringing
the good news of our Messiah to the Jewish people!
Again, why
don't you set your priorities right and bring the good news
of Messiah to your family first? You can do that by
repenting and making right what you have done. That
would be a good place to start. I quite frankly, do
not know who your Messiah is. The Messiah I know, and
those who truly follow him, do not act they way you
do. They do not steal, lie and cheat and hurt others
so profoundly as you have done.
My schedule continues to
expand as more and more of you encourage your pastors to
join in this wonderful work. Continue to encourage them to
visit my website. This IS God's time to reach the Jewish
people and I'd like to help your church members learn how to
bring His love to their Jewish friends.
You just
want to be in more churches so you can get more money.
I don't know about the beginning of your ministry, but
towards the end it became clear that the most important
thing to you was money. Do you remember how many times
you said in reference to your retirement accounts "I can't
invade my capital"? It was all about money and you
used donors and their money to fund your lifestyle -
everything from your home cable
tv,
to your home
phone and even the remodeling
of your house.
ELAINE
Elaine and I are well and
enjoying our summer. She accompanies me on all my
journeys and is used to the hardships of the "Missions
Field."
You have
been under a criminal investigation for months and you
are "enjoying your summer"??? And Elaine, well, what pray
tell did you say to her that would cause her to sit in a
public restaurant with you and others, including the
treasurer of Stan Telchin Ministries, and tell a group of
people that my husband was "an evil, evil, evil
person"? The treasurer was there and reported this in
his memo. Click here and
scroll to December 31, 2000. You had just gotten
married and Elaine never even had a chance to get to know
us.
Whenever people learn that
she is of Syrian-Arab descent, their eyes seem to pop
open. Then they smile and agree all things are
possible in Jesus!
All things
are possible in Jesus - including the repentance and
forgiveness of sin and the healing of family
relationships. I guess you don't believe that
though. If you do, you certainly don't care about that
part of it.
We are about to leave for a
few days of rest and then head into the fall determined to
accomplish the mission God has set before us. Do pray
for each of us.
I am grateful to you for
your prayers, encouragement and financial support. I
pray God's richest and best upon you and your
families.
How about my
family and I? Why don't you have any interest in God's
best for us? You have really hurt us. I just
cannot believe that in six years you have not even found
enough common decency to send your grandson (our son) a
birthday or Christmas card. Yet, after all you have
done to your family, you somehow feel qualified to travel
the country and tell people about the love of Jesus and you
still include me in your testimony despite my demand
of you that you not?
With His joy in my heart and
in His love, I remain,
Ever your
brother,
(signed)
Stan
OUR MISSION IS TO HELP
MOTIVATE AND EQUIP THE CHURCH TO BRING THE GOOD NEWS OF
JESUS TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE. WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS GOAL
THROUGH PERSONAL WITNESS, APPEARING ON RADIO AND TELEVISION
PROGRAMS, CONDUCTING SEMINARS, PROVIDING TEACHING TAPES,
MINISTERING IN CHURCHES, LEADING TRIPS TO ISRAEL AND
PROVIDING PERSONAL MINISTRY IN THE UNITED STATES AND
OVERSEAS.
Your mission
has failed. Your witness has been blasted apart in
private and in public. It is so bad that 15 Christian
leaders got together and signed a letter about you and
released it to the public. Click
here to read that. If that is not bad enough, Rev.
David Sedaca wrote a public letter and had to explain that
you did not practice journalistic integrity and you used him
(click
here). Add to all that your chronic lying
in public (click
here) and the exposure of your lying in a
newspaper (click
here) and frankly, you just need to retire and
spend time alone with God. You need to commit whatever
remaining years you have left to undoing the damage you have
caused in our families. The first place to start would
be to stop returning my
mail unopened and marked 'refused'. Please call me.
Let's let the genuine love of Christ heal our
families. That is what I want. Do you?
YES, STAN
You can count on me! As God
makes it possible, I'd like to partner with you at the rate
of $______ per month. - fundraising wording
continues from here along with order form for various
products Stan sells)
Six years
later, after all that has happened, you remain active in
ministry at the direct expense of your family. Everytime you
take the pulpit and talk about your "wonderful" family and
your "two wonderful daughters" and how Jesus saved us all
from Judaism, you damage our family. You do so by continuing
to perpetuate a lie and then remarkably, you ask the same
audiences for their money to support your "ministry." Even
Jews for Jesus sends fundraising letters out on your
behalf.
Perhaps you
have fooled some of the people but you have not fooled all
of them. Over the last six years I have heard from hundreds
of them -- former donors to Stan Telchin Ministries, pastors
and other ministry executives. In the last six years I have
received literally hundreds of emails from all over the
world and interestingly, every single one of them with the
exception of two, have not been in your favor and the two
that were in your favor, were from the same person.
Recently a
prominent American pastor called and said, "I am not
surprised by what I have learned about Stan. Twenty years
ago in Chicago I heard him speak. It didn't make much sense
then what he said. Now I know why."
Dad, please
come home to your family and make right what you have done.
Please. For the sake of our families please make right what
you have done. Most importantly, for the sake of the loving
sovereign Christ and for all that counts in Eternity, humble
yourself and restore the earthly relationships you have
destroyed.
- Ann
