That is to say, we’re not only dealing with historical falsehoods, but ongoing and pathological deception. Little did even I imagine how fast this would start to happen! Thank you Frontier Inc. reached a confidential settlement of claims stemming from the alleged in-flight sexual assaults of two passengers, according to a notice filed in the District of Colorado One is left to conclude only that, on this matter at least, the Board is not functional and any appeals to course-correct on this matter will be summarily dismissed. This Maranatha cry being sullied is not something we – all Christians – can afford to overlook in this generation. I reached out to Keith again and shared my frustration that he or anyone within FAI would look at Susanna as an abusive or vindictive person in this situation. The mercy of God is too sweet to think that He would not honor the full effort of restoring and prioritizing family health at the momentary cost of ministry activity. They draw inspiration from Romans 15:20, in which Paul of Tarsus wrote that he sought to "lay foundations for the Gospel where there are none." . In the end, which is where we’re all focused, our Lord will demand it. When I found out that the organization as a whole was basically being built in motion, I became disconcerted.

To equip them to stand the test of the times of our returning King. All this to say that I empathize with Nick, Steve, and Christopher–it is a brutal process of accountability, but one that will reap rewards in this life and the next.

Please take the time to prayerfully read this letter and the email contained at the beginning, and pause to ask whether or not God is happy with this situation being “contained.”. There does exist one video of a local church service in 2013 that generally brought the original incident up, but nothing of any depth and nothing anywhere of the 2016-2017 incident. There has been no confession of the deception and false narrative that continued after we left Iraq. By following the counsel we received to leave Iraq and to break communication with Dalton & FAI, he no longer had control of our story.

Those counselors spoke the first words of clarity that I felt like we had heard in the last four years. Come quickly. The helpful wisdom they gave us feels endless; they were wonderful, and I wish I could have spent time with them in better circumstances. A Frontier Airlines Inc. plane at Denver International Airport (DIA) in Denver on April 4, 2017. I was very disturbed by Nick’s letter, in that I felt that if a church, the church family of those involved in the fall, has gone through a process of full restoration, and repentance, any further discussion of the event, no matter how public and ‘famous’ the fallen are or how big their ministry is, is simply gossip. We just took their word for it. (Luke 2:35; Mark 4:22; Romans 2:16; 1 Corinthians 14:25) This dynamic is what the judgements of the Lord are all about today, in 2020. The 10-page lawsuit alleges Frontier Airlines has overstepped the Florida Security of Communications Act (FSCA) by "tracking, recording, and/or using 'session replay' software" to monitor . In the meeting, four very important items were communicated clearly. Our dear friend, much admired and truly honorable church leader Chris Mantei, Steve and Nick (two equally adored & mighty men of God, though we don’t know them as well yet) have raised the question of whether this repentance should be now and forever public, as FAI itself is such a public ministry. Indeed, what would you say to everyone else on this comments section who is appalled at the hubris and lack of public clarity? and do it as publicly as you have attacked your brother. I walked over to our village office and apologized to him face-to-face. In case there are doubts, I love missions. Whether or not you are disappointed with our stance – or indeed the stance of many other grateful others – is, and will only ever be, entirely irrelevant. Unfortunately, there weren’t any other voices of wisdom in their lives to require them to come home, to heal, to get the ship out of the water in order to repair the hull. The steps you outlined were taken before anything was ever written. The gospel in the nations is too important to risk sending or approving individuals whose lives are not in line with biblical standards for Christian leadership, whether in spiritual leadership (1 Tim 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9) or in mercy ministry (Acts 6:1-6; 1 Tim 3:8-13). 4.3K views, 57 likes, 33 loves, 32 comments, 93 shares, Facebook Watch Videos from Frontier Alliance International: Watch, share, and join us for the MARANATHA FAST & GLOBAL BIBLE STUDY . “I think it’s more related to people protesting our event than it was anything we were doing.”. Immediately after we arrived in Colorado, Dalton and I took a trip to Northern Iraq to visit a couple of long-term workers building an effective ministry to refugees in the Kurdish village of Soran. We later found out that he had been dishonest again; the situation in Turkey was not disclosed to those who were risking their reputations to get us into Iraq, not even the sanitized “emotional affair” version Dalton had shared with me. We wanted to be merciful and supportive of Dalton and Anna so we didn’t second guess our naïve understanding of mercy or ask the hard questions that we should have. I’ve seen this around the world. In the Spring of 2014, several months after Dalton disclosed the “emotional” affair to us, he asked if we would be interested in joining up with a new team in Colorado to begin planning for a move to the Middle East and to work in partnership with the Antioch Center for Training and Sending (ACTS) in Colorado Springs. After solidifying the legal status of our NGO in Iraq, I focused the remainder of my energy on the creation of a medical outreach program to provide care for soldiers and refugees during the liberation of Mosul.

First, FAI leadership had no intentions of bringing Dalton and Anna home after the second affair, saying “they will either live in Israel or Erbil.” Second, they already knew that the organization didn’t exist functionally; Keith even mentioned, “I’m technically… I guess I’m on the board, but we’ve never had a meeting” and that “FAI is not an organization with any kind of structure.” Third, they were convinced that the organization would turn over a new leaf and “restructure” so that Dalton could have a staff, providing time for him and Anna to heal. Several weeks ago, information was brought to our attention regarding a ministry many of us know and love and even support financially, Frontier Alliance International (FAI). Have you not read Matthew 18:15-20, what the Lord said about restoring a brother and the parable that followed? “All we know is they canceled,” Thomas, who is in Saudi Arabia, said via text message. Soon after we came home, we learned that Dalton had communicated with all of our mutual partners in Iraq but had not honored the agreement to keep me or our family in the loop. When I left the band in 2013, we knew that God had liberated us to pursue cross-cultural ministry and we were elated. “We are going to, if you will, the president’s living room, and we’re doing our best to have an honoring, respectful, family discussion.”. Nothing materialized with Dalton in the ACTS leadership team; he simply told us that he stepped down from the role because he felt like it would be better for FAI to retain its autonomy. The next day Dalton told me that he wanted to see me in person before their family flew out for the FAI family gathering in Cyprus that year and while we were still in our village. We did not expect this and in fact, originally planned to give for the foreseeable. Love in Christ Val. Keith listened to me, heard the full scope of the situation, and assured me that they had a plan of recovery, though when asking about the plan, he refused to share it with Susanna, me, or our pastors who were also in communication with him. It is rare, at least in experience to see such wisdom and difficult choices of obedience today. We love you all unreservedly, and, no matter if this was handled perfectly or imperfectly according to the Biblical standards, there’s forgiveness for that. 3.2K views, 110 likes, 28 loves, 13 comments, 26 shares, Facebook Watch Videos from Frontier Alliance International: UPDATE // Vimeo Deleted FAI, New Bible Studies, Our New Film, and Lockdown An elder in our church and his family had been in Turkey with FAI and were among those who returned home from the field after Dalton’s immorality was unearthed. I love the brilliant commission in all its glory. They have produced several excellent films in recent years and have launched a new app that has become very popular; they are having a global impact and it is growing larger still. The way Nick, Steve and Christopher is the biblical model that we should learn from. In the busyness of work I neglected my responsibilities at home. He told me that our families would have supernatural forgiveness and walk through this together. In far too many instances we’ve “sought to save our own lives”, when the Lord of the resurrection was urgently calling us to “die to self-saving; self-justification, self-correction and self-promotion” for the sake of being united with Jesus in the likeness of our death. So after these days of prayerfully considering what the right Biblical way to proceed was, we decided to issue a “corporate to corporate” communication; not personally as individuals to the individuals at FAI, but from three concerned mature men of God to their Board of Directors as a whole. In recent weeks, Trump pulled U.S. soldiers out of northern Syria, paving the way for an invasion by Turkey that targeted Kurdish forces. In an imperfect world with imperfect people, what outcome, what course of action can be taken that will glorify Jesus the most? As the unraveling Watergate scandal reached its peak in the summer of 1974, the Nixon White House was desperate to avoid implosion. I am writing publicly because all previous attempts for transparency have been rebuffed and genuine good faith between the parties has been lost. After she confronted me, I told her the truth. My heart aches. May it lift up your hearts with the knowledge that you are being forged, you are being given the gifts, the tools necessary to rule the nations.

The president's inner circle hatched an ambitious but quiet plan in an attempt to stave off political and economic disaster. We knew we wanted to serve in this way, but we didn’t have any doors opened to us at the time, and I was still touring with a Christian band 5-6 months out of the year. We decided that we would financially support FAI and started doing so. This trip solidified my love for Kurds, and it was the trip that produced the first Better Friends than Mountains film. I will add one more thing. Instead of hiding my sin of reengaging with her, I told Susanna immediately.
