My Lamentations, My Joy

July 20, 2007

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

May the peace of the Lord, which is beyond all understanding, abide in your hearts always.

During the past months I have been subjected to unprecedented slander and maligning. More recently I have been stripped of all my service positions in CFC. I understand that there will be more lies and slander forthcoming, as an all-out effort to undermine my moral authority and credibility has been mounted.

My dear brethren, you know me. I have served God, CFC and you for all of 26 years. I worked fulltime for the Lord since 1986 (up to 2006). I believe I have served with integrity and purity of heart. I have not done any wrongdoing, though I would not be immune to mistakes. I have nothing to hide and speak only the truth. I continue to live out everything I have taught you and everything I have written in my books. What you have seen, heard and read about me is the very same person that I am today. I am God's servant and yours as well.

Together with all of you, I have worked hard to glorify God through the life and mission of CFC. God has blessed us tremendously. God continues to use us, and intends to use us even more powerfully, after we have undergone purification and restoration.

I categorically state that I am not after power, position, or being restored to governance. I am not envious of anyone and simply rejoice in the blessings the Lord bestows on brethren. But I am committed to defend the authentic charism God has given CFC.

I do not wish to defend myself from malicious and unfounded accusations, for my conscience is clear. I will however respond to your inquiries, since truth is something you deserve.

It is my privilege to have served you, and I will continue to love and serve the Lord until I die.

May the Lord bless and protect CFC.

Your brother,

frank
