## A Proclamation of Truth: From Captivity to Commission
**To the Body of Christ and the Seekers of Truth,**
Grace and peace be unto you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I come before you not with a spirit of bitterness or a desire for revenge, but with a heart set on the "rooftop proclamation" of truth. After **14 years** of service, I walked away from **House of Prayer Christian Church (HOPCC)** in **June 2022**. I am not a man seeking to settle a score; I am a watchman protecting the sheep by exposing the "ravaging wolves" that hide behind the pulpit.
### The 14-Year Shadow of HOPCC
For over a decade, I was deeply entrenched in a high-control system led by **Rony Denis**. Like many, I was drawn in by a vision of lifting up the outcast, but the reality was a slow drift into an occult-like environment where one man’s voice superseded the Word of God.
I gave my life to this organization. I exhausted my **Montgomery GI Bill** to pay for 13 years of seminary and ministry training that was used as a tool for exploitation. I served in the trenches—cleaning bathrooms, remodeling churches, street preaching, and feeding the poor—all while being subjected to loyalty tests and psychological gatekeeping.
Under the direct control of Rony Denis, I was forced into **two prearranged marriages**. These were not unions of God, but tactical setups designed to maintain control and eventually destroy my qualifications for ministry. When I finally chose the biblical path of integrity over the "caste system" of HOPCC, they moved to dismantle my life, my reputation, and my relationship with my children.
### Rejecting the "Caste System" of Religion
The greatest tragedy is that I now see these same high-control, "CEO-style" techniques—characteristic of the **NAR/7 Mountain Mandate** and "Purpose Driven" models—infecting nearly every corner of the modern establishment.
I refuse to remain silent while lives are destroyed. I refuse to fellowship with those who call themselves "brothers" yet remain unrepentant in their corruption. Why is it that the religious world can stomach men like **Mike Bickle** after patterns of abuse, yet they demand I be "forever barred" because of a history of remarriage that was largely engineered by a cult?
If the Apostle Paul could be redeemed after being a murderer, and King Manasseh could find mercy after his abominations, then I stand firmly in the grace that Jesus offers. I am not seeking "accreditation" from corrupt institutions; I am seeking the approval of the Living God.

### Our Mission: A Living God Service Church
Alongside **Apostle Miheret**, we have established a ministry where the **Five-Fold gifts** are used for edification, not hierarchy.
* **Transparency over Tradition:** We are moving forward as a for-profit entity specifically to avoid the 501c3 denominational chains that disguise slavery as "accountability."
* **The Voice of the Poor:** We believe motherhood and womanhood are spiritual gifts, and that the "lowly" deserve a seat at the table of leadership.
* **True Discipleship:** We want to train missionaries of Christlike character who are free to express their faith, not trapped in seats of "ever learning" under a human dictator.
### A Call to Fellowship
We seek partnerships with those who value sincerity over certificates. If you have been abused by the religious machine, or if you are tired of "straining at a gnat" while leaders swallow camels of corruption, join us. We are building a community of worship, soul-winning, and true, scriptural integrity.
I have fought to keep my conscience clear toward God and man. I hope you can receive me not as a "novice," but as a veteran of the faith who has survived the fire and come out with the smell of smoke only to testify of the Deliverer.

**Warmest Greetings in the Spirit,**
May the Lord scatter the proud in their high-mindedness and exalt you in your low estate. We are praying for your strength and your boldness in this hour. You are highly favored, you are blessed, and the truth has indeed set us free!
**With Sincere Love and Prayers,**
