The FBI Launched Raids: 3 Southern Churches

Churches

On June 23rd, FBI agents stormed three churches throughout the South, all of which lie near military installations and have previously dealt with allegations of being cults.

According to several reports, the three raided churches are related to each other. Each lies near a U.S. Army base:

  • The Assembly of Prayer Christian Church near Augusta, Georgia is right outside the gates of Fort Gordon.
  • The House of Prayer Christian Church in Hinesville, Georgia is within 8 miles of Fort Stewart.
  • The Assembly of Prayer Christian Church in Killeen, Texas is less than 4 miles away from Fort Hood.

These churches have actually been implicated as functioning cults that victimize military veterans and active service members– and profiteer from their federal government benefits.

According to some veterans, the church is a cult that“deceives the VA during inspections and targets veterans to access GI Bill funding, VA disability compensation, and VA home loans”.

While the FBI has actually not released a statement, reporting suggests representatives were performing search warrants without making arrests … as of yet.

In 2020, an advocacy company called Veterans Education Success sent out an 11-page letter to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Georgia Veterans Service declaring that the churches “target veterans in order to access GI Bill funding, VA disability compensation and VA home loans.”

While the feds would not respond to whether the raid in Texas was associated with the others, they have actually validated that the two raids in Georgia are linked.

According to a report from ‘The Killeen Daily Herald’, “Dozens of Google and Facebook reviews of the Killeen church refer to it as a ‘cult’ with a habit of recruiting Fort Hood soldiers.”

Yahoo News shared these details:

The FBI on Thursday raided three churches associated with the House of Prayer Christian Church in Georgia and Texas.

The FBI has not released a statement regarding the raids.

The House of Prayer is owned by the foreign nonprofit company House of Prayer Christian Churches of America Inc., which registered with the Georgia Secretary of State in 2004. The business’s listed officers are affiliated with the Georgia churches and use Hinesville, Georgia, post office boxes as mailing addresses.

Its churches, which are primarily located near military bases throughout the country, have been accused by former members and a veterans’ advocacy group of operating like a cult and targeting soldiers.

In August 2020, Veterans Education Success, an advocacy organization based in Washington D.C., asked the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Georgia Veterans Service to investigate alleged abuses of the GI Bill program by House of Prayer Christian Church’s bible seminaries.

Veterans alleged the House of Prayer Christian Church “deceives the VA during inspections and targets veterans in order to access GI Bill funding, VA disability compensation, and VA home loans,” according to the organization’s letter to the VA and Georgia SAA.
