The Pastor Mitch Paul Letters

Pastor Mitch Paul of the Christ Evangelical Ministry in London says he needs a bunch of money for the medical treatment of a fellow pastor who was burned in a church fire which was set by Islamic fundamentalists. I'll have Reverend Stu Pidass take this one.

Dear Brethren in christ

I'm writting this letter to you all with tear and pain all over my eyes, because it is barely one month now i return from a crusade in Nigeria west Africa , it was my first visit to that part of the world. It was a great miracle crusade and many gave their life's to christ to the glory of God, indeed it was a miraculous crusade many healings from various kinds of diseases and chronic ailment, i have not seen miracle like this in my entire life, I must say god love our brethen in Africa.

Dear brothers and sisthers in christ it hurt me so much to see that the church which i was invited as a guest preacher as be burnt off by some islamic fundamentalist due to the recent prophet Mohammed cartoon drawing in Denmark and also some members lost their life's and the pastor was seriously burnt and it need a medical surgery urgently and the doctors report say that it will cost $110,200 and also the cost of rebuilding the church will cost $55,000.

Please brethren in christ, i 'm appealing to you all on behalf of the church and pastor Gabriel to come to their aid to enable him undergo a plastic surgery and to see that the church is rebuild again. Dear brethren in christ, i want you to know that as we christians we are going through a difficuit time in our life, even some of us has lost their life in this process. i want you to know that our father in heaven have not forsaken us, he love us and he want us to be united as one and render assitance to one another in times of need, so brethren in christ, let us give as much as little we can so that the world will know that we christian are united.

I want you all to give this as a seed offering unto God and the almight father will bless you all openly and abundantly in Jesus name "Amen". Please note that i do not received donation here in London, all donation are to be sent to the assitant pastor of the church in Nigeria through western union money transfer or money gram.

Greetings to you Pastor Mitch Paul

I hope you are as well as you can be under the circumstances.

My name is Rev. Stuart Pidass. I am the pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Flatulence in the village of Ur Anus, Mississippi, USA. We have approximately 70,000 members throughout the southeastern part of the US.

Your email was brought to my attention by our secretary/treasurer, Miss Potty Latrine, this morning. I am truly saddened by the plight of your injured comrade and I feel compelled to act. Unfortunately, I do not control the purse strings of our church.

The church has a donation committee which decides where any relief will be allocated and they are bound by the rules of the church which state that we only give financial support to those organizations which are affiliated with our church. However, I am prepared to contact the head of the donation committee to see if they will be willing to possibly make an exception in your case.

Of course, any documentation you can provide to assist me in pleading your case to the donation committee would be helpful.

I'll await your reply, my friend.

Remaining flatulently yours for the love of God,

Dear Pastor,

I'm so sorry for not asking you in my last email to you. How is this injured collegue of yours doing? What is his name? When did this awful tragedy occur? These are just a few of the many questions I will have to be able to answer to when I approach the chairman of the donation committee. Of course, any other documentation and photographs you can provide will be helpful as well.

I will be contacting the donation committee shortly concerning your situation. Hopefully I'll know more very soon as to the amount of assistance, if any, we can provide to you.

I will keep in touch, Pastor Mitch Paul.

Yours in blessed flatulence,

Brotherly greetings to you Pastor Mitch Paul,

I will forward all of the information you have given me to the donation committee later this morning. Hopefully they can call an emergency meeting for today to consider your situation.

I shall inform you the moment I receive word back from the committee of any decision they make. I shall remember Pastor Gabriel Adebayo in my prayers this morning.

May God bless you for your compassion you have for Pastor Gabriel Adebayo and for the good work you are doing for him.

Yours in Holy Flatulence,

Dear Pastor Mitch Paul,

Here's where the situation stands with the donation committee. They had approved a donation to the Christ Evangelical Ministry for the benefit of Pastor Gabriel Adebayo in the amount of $28, 600. In addition, they had been prepared to allocate an additional $5,500 in the event that Pastor Gabriel Adebayo needed to be relocated to a hospital in Europe or elsewhere.

Unfortunately, the rules of the church forbid them from actually donating any money to any person who is not of our faith, nor to any organization whose principal members (officers) are not of our faith.

As much as I had tried to coax the members of the donation committee to make an exception in the case of Pastor Gabriel Adebayo, to this point I have been unsuccessful.

Please accept my deepest and sincerest apologies. It seems there is nothing I can do to change the minds of those who sit on the donation committee. To be fair to them however, they are bound by the rules of the church.

If there's anything that you can think of that may change this situation, please try to let me know.

Sincerely yours in the name of Flatulence,

Please i am beging in the name of God on behalf of Pastor Gabriel Adebayo to please try whatever you can do to make this donation possible and also i want you to let me know what i can do or my Church to enable your donation committee approved this donation for the sake of Pastor Gabriel. I want you to know that When God locate you as man or woman who is concern about helping others him will direct his grace towards you. 2 corinthians 9:7-9.

I receive an email from Nigeria on satursday saying that Pastor Gabriel health condition is very bad, and doctors says that the surgery must be carry out this week, I have no order choice than to sale my House to the council today to raise another US$30,000, i know that my father in heaven will provide me with a better one.

Also i have just received an email from one pastor Ivan Ven da beg, from the Netherland saying he had made a donation of US$15,000 and it has been sent to them. So far they have been able to raise US$69,650, Please brother in christ they really need your finacial assitance in the live's of this Brother.

Dear Pastor Mitch Paul,

Please accept my apologies for my delay in returning your email. I had been out of the country for the past week and I had just returned a few hours ago.

I understand the predicament that you are in and I sympathize with Pastor Gabriel's plight. Unfortunately, as I have already mentioned, I have no control over the decision of the donation committee and the committee members are bound by the rules of the church. I will however forward your email to the chairman of the donation committee. Obviously I cannot promise anything. The rules of our church state that we can only contribute to affiliated organizations.

I'll let you know if anything changes.

Bless you kind sir,

Unfortunately, Pastor Paul didn't have a clue as to what his next move should be. I've been getting a lot of these unmotivated scammers lately. I hope he doesn't quit his day job.
