Please help & “Share” ~ Dear Timber Crest Baptist Church family & friends: Please pray for me, as well as the youth. (Note: The TCBC youth need you more than you know.) On January 7, 2015, staff members presented accusations against me, which is wrong, as they are false. Some of the deacons have accepted them as fact, which is unbiblical. (Note: The accusations have hurt me, tremendously, and have defamed my reputation. Moreover, it appears the accusations have ruined the opportunity you gave me, as the TCBC Youth Minister, to witness and positively influence the youth, their parents, and others toward growing their relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.) Unfortunately, currently, I am no longer welcome to be part of your family. :( I love you & miss you sooo much! :( I truly care about you, especially the youth. Mr. Herring, I’m sorry for offending you. I thought it wouldnt hurt to ask the church for a raise, since it is extremely difficult to live with my weekly paycheck of $99.54. (Note: I can barely afford food and can only afford a poor living condition. In fact, the rooms are terrible (i.e., dirty/filthy; likely, rodent infested; risky environment)). :( Please forgive me for asking; I’m sorry. …I just thought you – a godly man – would support me, according to the Bible, especially as I am giving everything I am able to the church and youth. I love y’all dearly. For the Scripture says: Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain, and, the worker is worthy of his wages. 1 Timothy 5:17-18 HCSB Commentary: “Faithful church leaders should be supported and appreciated. Too often they are targets for criticism because the congregation has unrealistic expectations. How do you treat your church leaders? Do you enjoy finding fault, or do you show your appreciation? Do they receive enough financial support to allow them to live without worry and to provide for the needs of their families? Jesus and Paul emphasized the importance of supporting those who lead and teach us (see Galatians 6:6 and the notes of Luke 10:7 and 1 Corinthians 9:4). Our ministers deserve to know that we are giving to them cheerfully, gratefully, and generously.)” On January 12, 2015, Pastor McCash told me the following statement will be included in the next business letter: “Ryan Stevens has committed gross misconduct”, which is ungodly, as the accusations are false. :( …Please help me church family. I’ve been praying, but I need your help (I cannot do it alone; please be a Christian team family by praying and taking appropriate action). Letting my request be known to God (Philippians 4:6), and my church family: Please ask Pastor McCash and the deacons to present a document of each accusation before the church. You deserve to know the truth, rather than it being hidden from you. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:33 KJV 31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word,[a] you really are My disciples. 32 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 HCSB Thank you for your prayers and help (actions), as it is imperative you (God’s children) work, together, as a team in order to prevent corruption within the church. The church, including the youth, needs you! …and so do I, brothers and sisters. :( Please help make things right. I want to continue glorifying God as the Youth Minister: to positively influence the youth, as well as their parents and others. In Christ’s love, Ryan Your brother in Christ
