Unfortunate Quote of the Week: Pastor Lonnie’s “Love in Christ” Note to Accused Wife-Beater Ramanah Yankana
OK, so the quote is from last year, but the irony is from this week:
As some of you know, one of our sister churches in in Guyana South America. … The country is divided up in three backgrounds, Hindu, Muslim, and “Christian.” Everyone who is not a Hindu or a Muslim call themselves Christian, even though many still do not know the gospel. We are excited about all that God is doing there through Pastor Ramanah Yankana. We have been partnering with them to build a new sanctuary to worship in. It is completed now, and Lord willing, we are flying down to teach a class and to dedicate the new building. … Keep on falling in love with Jesus. He is altogether lovely.Love in Christ,
Pastor Lonnie— Lonnie Broome

Probably not so excited about all that God is doing through Pastor Yankana now, eh, Lonnie…?
Pastor Ramanah Yankana was reported to the police and subsequently arrested for beating his wife; although the matter was initially treated as a domestic violence issue, Yankana while in custody, gave a statement implicating his wife as an assailant. Therefore both husband and wife were charged with assault. …Meanwhile, sources close to the family have related that the couple’s only daughter, a young girl of ten, is now refusing to return home with her parents.
Reports indicate that the young girl is apparently traumatised at the steady abuse of her mother at her father’s hands and she is not only refusing to return home but she also wants her mother to leave as well. …
