I thank you for your website; I thought I was the only one who thought
there was something wrong with the presentation of the Gospel and
methodology of Stonecroft Ministries.
I was Prayer Advisor, Chairman, Area Rep, FBC leader, and FBC coordinator
for a new club in ————. Toward the end of my time with this club,
I began to feel very uncomfortable with the presentation of the Gospel and
the methodology of follow-up.
Like you, I didn’t see much commitment on the part of those who made
decisions. I was glad when we left the area because it gave me a graceful
way out, and there are no clubs near where I am now living. These
misgivings began about 1995.
There was also a problem with getting new people involved with positions
on the executive committee; it began to seem that we just passed the jobs
around with no newcomers taking positions. One of the things that made it
hard to get new people was the unwritten law that we had to have a lot of
different denominations on the committee. Many of these denominations
were not evangelistic and had little interest in individual salvation.
I went to the Speakers’ Training and was appalled with the canned approach
that the speakers had to use. I never could have been a speaker because I
have never had to memorize a speech in all my years of public speaking. I
guess the thing that really began to get to me was the control that
Stonecroft exercised over all aspects of the program and the choice of
committee members.
Thank you for your website. I will visit it often to see any new additions.

You certainly have my permission to print my email with the deletions (of name and location). I have bookmarked your site and will check back frequently. After I emailed you yesterday, it was as though a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
Thank you again for your website and your insight.
