Female netizen accuses pastor for demanding Ford Raptor as birthday gift
FORD RAPTOR – A female netizen has accused their pastor of asking the expensive vehicle as a birthday present from church members.
A certain Zamora Cha took to the social networking site, Facebook, wherein she expressed her disappointment about the situation. According to her, she was hesitant to speak out, but she eventually decided to do so to expose the pastor, who was using church funds to show off.
The woman and her colleagues were disheartened by the church leaders’ expectation of regular payments from members, which they claimed were voluntary and based on love but ended up judging people based on the size of their contributions. Those who could not give anything were unfairly labeled as lacking faith or love.
They had been part of the church for eight years and had seen the financial struggles of other members. Despite their sacrifices, they discovered that the pastor, his children, and other high-ranking church members were using their positions for their own selfish gain.
Zamora spoke out not only for those who experienced abuse but also for those who had been financially exploited. She believed that not only the pastor but also other leaders who benefited from the church should face the consequences of their actions.

“THIS CAR WAS DEMANDED BY OUR PASTOR AS A GIFT TO HIS BIRTHDAY”

Gusto ko nalang sana manahimik pero gagawin ko to para tablahan kayo ng kahihiyan.
Naol may guts mag-flex gamit pera ng mga tao sa church. Kawawa naman yung mga leaders na nagbabayad “TAKE NOTE: EVERY MONTH” pero di man lang nakasakay. Cinocondemn pa kapag walang pang bigay.
This is “voluntary” daw and out of love. Any amount kuno na icocommit mo will be accepted.
But here’s the thing: They will base the size of your faith and your love towards God kung gano kalaki ang amount na ibibigay mo.
Kapag maliit ang amount, napakaliit ng love and faith mo.
At kapag wala kang mabigay, they will label you as no faith and love at all.
Cause as what they taught us: Hindi kayang bayaran ng pera ang ginawa ng Diyos sa buhay namin through the life of pastor. (Which is true naman.)
But where’s the consideration and genuine mercy para sa mga walang pera. In fact, most of us are students at that time.
As 8 years in the church. Naging kaibigan ko halos lahat ng mga tao sa church even to the point sumasama ako matulog sa mga boarding house ng iba sa kanila. Kaya I know their struggle financially. Halos wala silang makain and some of them walang pambayad ng boarding house.
Araw-araw kami sa ministry, and wala kaming nakukuhang any support or allowance from the church. We also have this event called, “ENCOUNTER WEEKEND” na ginaganap every after 2 months and we are more than 100 leaders in the church at that time. We’re all obligated to pay every encounter ₱2000 each leaders, May delegates ka man o wala.
We sacrificed for the church dahil we love God and we thought na genuine ang heart ng pastor na pinapakinggan namin sa mga tinuturo nia.
Kaya nung nalaman ko lahat-lahat ng mga kalokohan at panloloko hindi lang ni pastor kundi mga anak niya at may mga matataas na position sa church. I find it unfair para sa mga nasa ibaba na patuloy na nagsasacrifice at totoo ang puso sa Diyos to the point ang iba ay nasira ang family dahil sa pagsserve, nag-stop sa pag-aaral, wala ng makain at wala nang matirhan not knowing na ginagamit nalang sila for a selfish agenda.
I dare to speak up not only for those who were sexually abused but para sa mga tulad nila who were abused financially.
Never in my life I heard pastor dare to asked some of them even mga anak man lang nya, if may kinakain paba ang mga members o wala. Maliban kung mataas ang position mo sa church, may care sila sayo. Also, kung nakikita nila na may mapapakinabangan sila sayo or somehow may pakinabang ka is tutulungan ka nila.
Kaya for me, hindi lang si pastor ang deserve makulong kundi pati ang mga may matataas na position sa church at ibang mga leaders na nagbebenefit din sa church rason kaya nila pinagtatakpan si pastor.”
