Now look, I don’t care how pretty you package it, how many pies you sell, or how many “feed-the-hungry” brochures you print on recycled paper, if your house is built on secrets, your walls gon’ crumble. And baby, Christian Aid Ministries (CAM), based right there in Berlin, Ohio, looks like the Vatican and Enron had a baby and wrapped it in a plain gray bonnet.

On paper, they’re the golden child of conservative Anabaptists, rakin’ in nearly millions a year in donations, almost all of it from Amish and Mennonite folks who tithe harder than they bathe. Not just 1 or 2 million. Nah baby, I’m talkin’ lottery money! $100 million, $145 million, $179 million, numbers like that. Not chump change. They claim to work in 100+ countries, handin’ out Bibles and beans like they’re the second coming of Costco, but behind those glossy newsletters and family-farm stock photos of starvin’ yet smilin’ kids, is some real crooked mess.

I was going through our mail, and we’ve consistently received this bright orange, beggin’ for money type envelopes several times a year and I’ve just ignored em’ while searchin’ for my Restoration Hardware catalogs that I never get for some reason. Anyway, we get too much damn mail and I’m busy, so I shred it and keep it movin’, but last night I looked at it and went down a rabbit hole of who the hell the Christian Aid Ministries really are. I saw little foreign kids and even though I want all kids to eat, we got enough goin’ on in our own backyard, so I thought it was like Unicef or somethin’, and you know the President of Unicef is pushin’ about $620,000 a year, so I think he has a lil’ bit more scratch to send sandwiches than I do, but this was from CHRISTIAN AID MINISTRIES, so I had some downtime. Who were these beggin’ ass motherfuckers lookin’ for donations to send to Ukraine when we’ve already given that country billions of dollars that Zelensky ain’t paid back, so what the hell else can we possibly do? We’re over here in bad shape our damn selves. But baby, when I started researching who they were and how much money they were rakin’ in off donations, I was equally impressed that they’ve been scammin’ this long and equally disgusted that people still gave them money.

Part I – The Golden Halo

“Billions in Scrilla’: How CAM Became the Darlin’ of Amish & Mennonite Donors”

• Origins: 1981, Berlin, Ohio, founded as a relief/mission outfit.
• Who bankrolls it: Amish, Mennonites, conservative Anabaptists with checkbooks fat as hog bellies, and anybody else who dares to send them a check, which could NEVER be me.
• $170M/year donations, 97% program spend (on paper).
• The narrative they sell vs. the opacity of where the dollars really land.
• Truth is: Their tax forms look cleaner than a Medispa, and I’m askin’ some questions to myself, as should anyone who donates to this organization.

Who’s Runnin’ the Show?

They’ll tell you CAM don’t have “owners.” That’s technically true, it’s a 501(c)(3), but don’t get it twisted. The Amish and Mennonites bankroll this machine, and the folks pullin’ the strings are cut from that same cloth.

Right now, their poster boy is Weston Showalter, husband, father of five, spokesman, CEO type, livin’ in Newcomerstown, Ohio and sittin’ at Salem Amish-Mennonite Church on Sundays. He’s the man they roll out to face cameras when the world wants answers, like during that big Haiti kidnapping. But baby, let’s be real, he ain’t runnin’ the whole circus, he’s just the one brave enough to wear a mic and not pass out when reporters ask the real questions.

The Money Flow

• 2024 Revenue: $171 million.
• Expenses: $142 million.
• Assets: $120+ million

That’s a lot of fuckin’ money for a nonprofit not doin’ jack shit in America. Oh, they claim to spend a few Sheckels, but hardly any of that can be traced, and ain’t nobody really benefiting from this organization.

Their swag? Braggin’ about how they only spend 3% on admin/fundraising, which sounds saintly… until you realize that leaves 97% free to funnel into “programs” nobody outside their circle can audit in detail. Where’s it go? Overseas, mostly. Places nobody’s keepin’ tabs. Food, Bibles, microloans, medicine, rebuilding houses in war zones, good stuff on the surface, but you can hide a lot of snakes in a missionary barrel.

They have one big fuckin’ dirty laundry basket with a big tub of shit in it named Jeriah Mast. Oh, he’s Missionary of the Year in their book!

And here’s where CAM’s halo cracked wide open.

Jeriah Mast. Remember that name. He was one of CAM’s own, out there in Haiti under their badge, or umbrella if you will, preachin’ and passin’ out aid. Meanwhile, he was molesting boys, for years. DECADES actually, ‘cause when he came back to Ohio, they finally caught him and he’s now doin’ 9 years in prison, but they didn’t catch him for the poor little Haitian victims (over 30 that there are, probably more), not yet anyway. Nah, they caught him for the Amish boys (now men) that this monster molested while his dad was the sittin’ preacher in their Amish community at a little church called Shining Light Fellowship in Millersburg, Ohio, and ol’ Jeriah Mast used this clout as his opportunity to groom and rape little boys, ruining lives and receiving no accountability. As a matter of fact, it was because one of these brave souls who had carried that burden of shame and sadness with him throughout his life and mustered the courage to testify against this Satan’s Asshole.

Of course, you have our wonderful justice system that always seems to be lackin’ in justice for the right people and due to statute of limitation laws, Jeriah wouldn’t get the time he deserves, but at least he was convicted for nine years and everybody knows exactly who the hell he is! Well, we know what we know, but I imagine with what we do know, the what we don’t knows are even fuckin’ darker.

But here’s the kicker, CAM leadership knew about him before the hammer dropped. Yep. Whispers, reports, accusations… brushed under the rug like the Amish are notorious for doin’. They even admitted that two managers Paul and Eli Weaver, had been tipped off when he was in Haiti raping boy after boy after boy, over 30 boys in total by his own admission, but let’s be honest, there are many more. When Jeriah was feelin’ the heat of his actions in Haiti, he bounced and came back to the states to do what he and many Amish do best, avoid accountability, but that’s when he went boo-hooing like a little bitch to the front of his church to gain some ill-gotten sympathy like the pathetic loser that he is and he went and voluntarily turned himself in. Those two loser managers should have tucked their cowardly tails and went with him since they were complicit, but I didn’t see anything where they got their just desserts.

Oh, they were put on leave for a hot minute, then back to work being the grimy lowlifes of missionary work pretending to give a shit so you can collect money for savin’ the world. None of this was justice, it was damage control, plain n’ simple.

Now tell me why Jeriah gets locked up, but CAM walks away clean? Because unless you catch the whole board in a room signin’ papers sayin’ “we knew and didn’t care,” U.S. prosecutors don’t usually throw charges at an organization. Too messy, too complicated, especially when it involves border shit, but especially when some money is bein’ scooted under the table. Did I say that? I mean, it might be, who knows. We all know that the Amish everywhere are known for payin’ off law enforcement, and with the amount of money they bring in, they can afford a few necessary bribes. So, what happens is, one predator takes the fall, and the system pats itself on the back like they are goddamn Superman himself. Hero rhymes with Zero.

Then there’s the Haiti kidnapping. In October of 2021, the 400 Mawozo gang kidnapped 17 missionaries and their families from this Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministry which included 16 Americans and 1 Canadian while they were doin’ the Lord’s work in Haiti. They ganked them from an orphanage in Ganthier, east of the capital in Haiti called Port-au-Prince. It was Weston Showalter standin’ in front of cameras with his tired ass mug lookin’ like he’d aged 20-years in a week tellin’ America to “pray.” What he was probably thinkin’ was pray that this don’t fuck up by money situation, especially when the hostage takers were demanding $1 million for each hostage.

So, while the world was watchin’ this shitshow wonderin’ what the hell was really goin’ on, eventually CAM would say that the people “escaped”, which is about as tidy a story as a toddler eatin’ spaghetti. There was all the PRAISE JESUS this and that, and Weston went home to check the mail for the FAT donations that would roll in from these amazing Christians who kept their faith during times of trial and had latched on to this bullshit story like this organization and its members were true testaments of a miracle.

So, these 12 adults and 5 kids, I think the youngest being just 8 months old according to Google, were allowed to get a message across from one of the hostages to say, “We are being held hostage, they kidnapped our driver. Pray, pray, pray.” Um, basic message and vague. I would think if you were allowed to get a message across it’d be, “Here’s the address! Come get my ass! This muthafucka’ done lost his mind, but if you ain’t comin’ his ass won’t settle for less than $950,000 a head!” So, as you can see, from the jump, the whole mess sounded orchestrated and tired.

Now, the Amish claim to have the ability and the basic right to “police” themselves for everything that happens to them in their clique, but because it was a supposed kidnapping, the FBI got involved and the Amish weren’t mad because they weren’t about to give nobody $1million of their donated money, hell nah! So, the FBI and Haitian authorities were all involved, which makes me wonder why the same wasn’t done for the 30+ victims, but I digress. So, they spearheaded negotiation talks with the gang to release these fools who were puppets of the CAM money laundering volunteer organization.

Now, supposedly five were released early from the 17, in two separate incidents, prior to the main escape of the rest. This is where some anonymous donor paid some ransom money, but that was never released, nor even confirmed the money had exchanged hands. I know, it’s like, what? Who dafuq is payin’ money like that and how do you choose who gets let loose first? You would think the mother with the 8-month-old baby, but you’d be wrong. The crazy shit is, CAM has a “no-ransom” policy, which is fucked up in and of itself, like fuckin’ hostage takers read their policy book, but whatever, CAM didn’t seem to object if somebody else was payin’ the ransom. So, these five were turned loose and that still left 12 plain peeps out there in the jungle somewhere with some stone-cold killers. Now, CAM is all about prayin’ your way of a situation, so I wonder why they didn’t just all go home and let these diciples for CAM pray their way home, but I guess it don’t work that way, so they let the police do the prayin’ for them.

Now, after two months of being held hostage and the FBI unable to do what the FBI is supposed to do, these 12 remaining hostages escaped. Yep, after two months of being held by a scary gang in the middle of the jungle, in their words, made a daring escape with the moon and constellations as their navigational beacon. Mind you, they’ve been held hostage for two months gettin’ fed, this poor ass region of people made sure they had clean drinkin’ water and formula for the baby and weren’t beat, raped, tortured, nothin’. The grievance they had was they were forced to wash with dirty water and got a rash around their mosquito bites. Huh? I’ve been more tortured with that by weed eatin’ the yard! So, these 12 people, one being a 10-month-old baby at this point, a three-year-old, a couple of teenagers and the rest of the flat-footed missionaries managed to get out, without anyone seein’ them, into the night with the stars as their guide to a mountain they had seen a couple of days earlier, through the jungle, in gang territory, for a mere two hours until they found somebody with a phone. Um, I don’t know about you, but this story sounds about as believable as a teenager missin’ curfew, but that is the story they printed like it was to be takin’ at face value and not questioned whatsoever.

Nobody was to question how they were all in the same room. How they weren’t mistreated at all. Nobody saw 12 people trapsing through and around all the nefarious guards and killer things lurkin’ in the Haitian night, like spiders, alligators and other animals that will kill you cemetery dead. A whole caravan of pastel wearin’ goofies with a cryin’ baby weren’t detected by anyone while they busted out like Ocean’s Eleven without a single soul hearin’ or seein’ shit, especially those with a million-dollar bounty on their heads who had been watched like a hawk for two months? Nah, that ain’t suspect at all. Not to mention them followin’ the constellations like they were Harriet Tubman’s understudies, until poof! They found safety. Chile please!

And let’s get this straight, they weren’t beaten, sexually assaulted, they weren’t roughed up, weren’t even harassed. Nah, the story goes that the captors made sure the baby had formula, kept everybody in one room, and let them keep their prayer circle time goin’ strong. Then one night, like it was all in God’s timing, they just walked out. I don’t know about you, but my neighbor’s dog barks when they hear a snickers bar gettin’ opened, I’m having a hard time swallowing that twelve bodies plus babies slipped into the jungle air without raisin’ hell.

Now don’t get me wrong, the kidnapping was real (I guess) no matter how staged it was, I mean, might have been. The 400 Mawozo gang grabbed 16 Americans and a Canadian, demanded millions in ransom, and held ‘em hostage. The FBI was in on it from day one, hell for all we know they helped with this ruse because why couldn’t they locate them with all the technology they have, and it is Haiti for damn sake, but the escape story? I don’t know what to say. That story has been polished shinier than a crackhead wipin’ off his fingerprints, but like I said, Christians love them a good miracle story, like Jesus himself swooped in and saved these simpletons.

Riddle me this, why the fuck don’t he swoop in and help all the rest of the hostages inside the culture, namely kids, who spent their whole lives gettin’ abused? If he can be in the jungle, he can take a trip to Flemingsburg, or frickin’ Holmes County and rescue some rape victims. Why didn’t he save lil’ man from drowning when his crazy ass mama Ruth Miller went apeshit? Why didn’t he save the horse from the Amish dingaling bandit in Millersburg? Why were these people so important? Why wasn’t Jesus on that bus and stopped that fuckin’ sadist before he stabbed that beautiful Ukranian girl who had her whole life ahead of her? I wonder if Christain Aid Ministries will send her family some money. Oh, no, they don’t give away money. They might fix their gutter or something. This whole damn story sounds more like folklore than a press release.

Here’s where the real meat hits the skillet: the gang’s boss, Germine “Yonyon” Joly, was runnin’ the whole show from his prison cell, ordering kidnappings, demanding $1 million per head, even trying to hustle his way outta’ jail. Somehow though, the hostages said that they’d seen him on more than one occasion, how? By video phone? Did they pay him a visit in the joint? Allgedly, Ol’ Germine orchestrated all this fuckery from his prison cell, so I don’t know who the fuck they met, but unless they snuck into the prison at night to make sure he had fresh baked bread or for a conjugal visit, they didn’t see him.

In May of this year, a U. S. jury smacked ol’ Germine with a guilty verdict for hostage takin’ and conspiracy. Hell, he was already serving 35-years for weapons charges and laundering ransom money, but now? Ol Germine is locked down tighter than a Mason jar at cannin’ time, and still, none of it makes sense.

So yeah, the missionary escape story might sound like bedtime Bible fanfic, but the receipts are clear according to everybody who wrote about it: the kidnapping happened, the escape supposedly happened (however Hollywood it may sound), but I’m not buyin’ it. It all sounds really low budget, and the Amish are scary ass actin’ people, so the very act of them attempting to escape don’t even make sense to me, and all of this was somehow orchestrated by a man who was in prison the entire time?? This saga has more plot holes than the bishop’s drawers.

What do you think? Was this a straight-up miracle story, or a PR stunt to distract everybody from the serial rapist and CAM employee Jeriah Mast who fled Haiti when he knew they were about to get him. I’m callin’ BULLSHIT!

Prayer Don’t Pay Ransoms, Baby, Cash Does!

So, David Troyer, CAM’s big kahuna director, gets up at a press conference and admits straight-faced that “people who sought to help us provided funds to pay a ransom.” Translation? They didn’t lay hands on the hostages and pray ‘em outta’ Haiti, they cut a deal. Cash was movin’, no matter how pretty they tried to phrase it, and if you blinked too slow, you might’ve missed the little dance he did around whether CAM actually forked it over. That’s the Anabaptist Shuffle honey, act humble, talk vague, and keep them checkbooks hummin’.

Now let me just set my sweet tea down and tell you somethin’ that smells funny from here to Sunday. Folks ate up that whole missionary escape story like the miracle hungry sonsofbitches that they are, but my gut, my gut says that, that kilt lettuce needs a little bit mo’ grease honey cause’ right before this “miraculous” Hollywood escape, CAM, Christian Aid Ministries (we don’t want y’all to forget), had a whole mess of heat circling them. You remember Jeriah Mast? Yeah, the one who loved the Lord so much that he graciously said “Yes Lord, I shall go be a missionary serial rapist and ruin the lives of small children,” was sent back to Haiti. Yep, with a bible in one hand and his appetite for little boys in the other, he trotted his sad, sorry, sadistic ass back over to Haiti at the urging of CAM, but this time he had wife and those confessions off his chest, so all that abuse he inflicted, forgiven and forgotten according to Amish law, and to Jeriah, that was so last decade, he’s moved on from that. *Sarcasm*

Now, once the cat was out of the bag, CAM had to do some cleanin’ up, but since they saw the people of Haiti as dispensable, they got to work offering a little money to hush these kids up, who by now, were grown and wounded men. In the end, CAM settled these claims with an undisclosed number of victims for roughly $10,000-20,000, with $20,000 being the most they paid to any one of them, the one who had the least and was doin’ the worst. Can you believe that shit? $10,000 for the murder of a soul and robbin’ a child of security, their childhood, and their peace, not to mention their innocence. This is all CAM thought these boys were worth, and they didn’t want to pay that. To make CAM even bigger assholes, the boys had to agree not to take any civil action against Jeriah Mast. The boys had an attorney and a strong case with professionals lined up to testify, but the boys were poor and when you dangle that money in front of them in such poor circumstances when they just wanted it to be over and never thought they’d be paid at all, they took it and went on their way. They’d suffered enough, but I guess CAM had to swoop in and assault them all over again with their sad, greedy ass hush money, but at least they were acknowledged, and people were finally beginning to understand what a complete fucking monster Jeriah Mast really is.

Now, you and I would say settlement, but according to the article put out by NBC News, the money was being called AID. Yes, aid. With as much money as Cam has in the bank, they could wipe their ass on $10,000 and wouldn’t make a dent, but this is what happened. CAM paid it and wrote “oopsie” in the memo line and kept it movin’. They have a no-ransom policy, but they apparently don’t have a no hush-money policy.

This was a quote from one of the people of the CAM organization, “We confess that we have often responded with denial, fear and self-preservation. We have tended to listen to voices who have positional power, rather than to those who have been violated and those who are most vulnerable,” the Church wrote.”

Jeriah Mast had been a serial rapist damn near his whole life and before he went to Haiti, he had already ruined some little boys’ lives in Ohio who attended his daddy’s church. The one in Millersburg. From 1999 until whenever, he had abused several little boys and was finally indicted and charged with that in October of 2019 and sentenced to nine years. Because our laws are so grand, the felonies he would have gotten became misdemeanors because of the statute of limitations.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Mast, of Millersburg, Ohio, faced 14 counts alleging abuse of five minors between 1999 and 2008, but 12 counts were dismissed in a plea agreement. Mast plead guilty to another charge of a sexually abusing a child, but he claimed he didn’t really do it. Okay Mast, shut the hell up now. *Eye roll* 12 of the 14 charges was dropped! How infuriating!

He pleaded guilty to two felony counts of gross sexual imposition. One incident took place with a 12-year-old boy in 1999 or 2000, the other with a boy aged 11 or 12 in 2005 or 2006. He denied abusing the first boy but still pleaded guilty.

As for Haiti, he abused, by his admission, approximately 31 boys over the span of 15 years. I assure you, it’s much more. He’s disgusting, but although the boys said they wouldn’t file a civil suit, they didn’t say shit about writin’ their story and one man did just that. As per his introduction on his webpage, “Doeurdly “Dylo” Cadet published In the Name of “Mission Work” in December 2022, explaining his abuse from Jeriah Mast.” I have ordered this book and plan to give this person my full support.

This was the beginning paragraph regarding Dylo, his story, and the hard truths that come with sexual abuse, especially someone using religion as his means to find vulnerable children to abuse. It’s horrific, abhorrent, and utterly vile and I for one hope that the prisoners he’s around during his brief confinement treat him with that eye for an eye ideology, but the paragraph begins like this:

No matter what our upbringing is, we all have ingrained beliefs about abuse, church structure, authority, and victimization. Maybe you’ve seen this book lying on a friend’s bookshelf or advertised on social media and you’ve already decided your response without reading it. Dylo Cadet’s story of abuse from an Anabaptist missionary to Haiti is upsetting and divisive, yet it needs to be heard. We cannot ignore hard stories and questions just because they are uncomfortable. Our human tendency is to defend what and whom we know, but sometimes that comes at the cost of justice and truth. As Dr. Diane Langberg says: “We must not assume that our family, church, community, country, or organization is always right just because the people in it use the right words.” Read Dylo’s story and listen to what he says, then wrestle with what his questions mean in your context. 

This Mast corruption was straight out of the pages of THE AMISH COVER-UP PLAYBOOK….

Let me lay this out plain: the biggest scandal ain’t always about what happened, it’s how the people in charge covered it up, twisted it, and turned the victims into the problem.

Jeriah Mast, this so-called missionary for Christian Aid Ministries molested Haitian boys for decades while CAM knew and left him on the payroll. The only reason someone would do that is for no other reason than they were doin’ it themselves, or some other dirt that Jeriah probably knew about. Dylo eventually discovered that others were abused, including his brother and a friend, and that is when he filed an official report in 2013 with a CAM member by the name of Steve Simmons, but from 2013 until 2019, only two people had saw that report. TWO! Out of entire board of fatheads runnin’ an organization that supposedly oversaw the “Work of the Lord.” I guess Lord to them is Benjamin, as in Franklin, the $100 man. All CAM did was send Mast back to the states, slap some cologne on him and got him hitched to some idiot who must have been hard up for a man to lay down with this pedo who fancied little boys, and not old maids.

Dylo Cadet would eventually become an interpreter for CAM, I assume to look out for the vulnerable, and jobs are scarce, but during one point, he was forced to endure seeing Mast when he went back to Haiti to work for a while because CAM thought that was a great fuckin’ idea. Dylo finally mustered the courage to tell his own church what happened when he was a teenager and in true Godly fashion and attitude that so many churches have, he wasn’t believed. How tragic. It’s like a never-ending saga of abuse that won’t quit. When everything came out and Dylo was workin’ for CAM, he was branded a traitor, which I’m sure didn’t help him psychologically at all. Dylo told in his book about Mast and his tactics to get victims, with promising them gifts, and how he went to particular orphanages where these boys were already displaced and fightin’ for their lives, and then they’d look up and see Mast and knew it was going to be a bad night. This man showin’ up to an orphanage to satisfy his disgusting lust and these boys were so scared, they’d find a rope and tie it around them and their clothes so tight, that they’d cut themselves, and how Mast would reassure them during the entire torture of whatever to make himself look like a saint, then afterwards, PRAY TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS! What a sadistic piece of shit. A demonic vulture. Dylo said this and I thought it was poignant, “All followers of Jesus should weep and be incensed at this hypocrisy.”

CAM offered these boys no money, it’s such an insult, and told Dylo and others that they if he asked for too much money, it would be like, “stealing food off the plates of the poor.” Baby, CAM doesn’t put food on anybody’s plate. They sit on a mountain of donations like a hog in slop, and when their wolves get caught, they suddenly clutch their pearls about “the poor.” Dylo and those boys were the poor and the victimized. They deserved every cent of CAM’s overflowing bank account, and then some. Do they think about the poor when they are flying all over the world, buying lavish shit, and spreadin’ money around (from one overseas bank account to another). Dylo said it best: “If this were your child, what price would you put on their virginity? On their innocence?”

So, picture this: CAM struttin’ around like they’re the saints of the century, holdin’ these conferences on their compounds. Members sleepin’ like kings in shiny air-conditioned apartments, while the Haitian pastors, the ones actually draggin’ the ministry weight on their backs, sweatin’ it out in a shack with no privacy and no air. Dylo straight up asked, “Why can’t they have an apartment if they’re sittin’ empty?” And the answer? “Those are for guests and foreigners.” Chile, please. That ain’t missions, that’s straight Goodwill with Bibles, skimmin’ donations, greasin’ palms, and protectin’ the brand like it’s Louis Vuitton.

And don’t let ‘em fool you they have these conferences all the damn time. They’re more about image than impact. Ain’t no seminar on “how to clean up abuse in your own house,” it’s more like “How to Employ Rapists on a Budget 101.”

NOW ENTER STAGE LEFT: STEVE WOOD *ARCHBISHOP*

And speakin’ of brands, they got a conference comin’ up end of October in Ephrata, PA, and guess who’s the keynote? Archbishop Steve Wood of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). Now, bless his collar, but controversy’s been hangin’ on his coattails like a dingleberry.

See, under his watch, one of his bishops, Stewart Ruch III, is facin’ the music in an ecclesiastical trial. Why? Because of how his diocese, the Upper Midwest, handled a case that’ll make your stomach turn: the abuse of a nine-year-old little girl by a church volunteer named Mark Rivera at Christ Our Light Anglican in Big Rock, Illinois. This wasn’t some back-pew rumor. This was part of the Greenhouse Ministry Society, and the fallout was ugly.

They have to protect the brand at all costs….

Now, what did ol’ Bishop Ruch do? Well, instead of blowin’ the whistle loud enough for the angels to hear, he tried to keep it hush-hush. Protect the brand, protect the image, keep the money flowin’. But word got out. Joanna Rudenborg, a former congregant, lit social media on fire in 2021, claimin’ Rivera raped her twice, and that Ruch had known about earlier claims but did nothin’.

That sparked a firestorm. ACNA had to drag in a fancy law firm because they will only give the homeless one piece of ham, but they’ll pay a lawyer $1,000 an hour to keep their sorry ass out of trouble, Husch Blackwell, to investigate. Their report? Ruch straight up admitted the diocese didn’t have protocols for respondin’ to sexual misconduct. And worse? He didn’t even bother reachin’ out to the parents of possible victims once he knew abuse was on the table. Typical. Can you imagine? A bishop actin’ like a brand manager instead of a shepherd. Yes, I can imagine it, because that’s all the hell they do.

Now tell me that don’t sound familiar. CAM with their phantom clinics and cover-ups, ACNA with their mishandled abuse scandals, it’s the same damn playbook: delay, deny, deflect, and above all, protect the brand. The Bible verses are free, but the accountability? Baby, that’ll cost you, and they ain’t payin’.

I wonder if Steve Wood will be on his A-Game considering he’ll be summoned to court to protect one of his own.

The trial for Ruch began July 14, 2025. But there have been difficulties: the provincial prosecutor C. Alan Runyan resigned (July 19, 2025) sayin’ the trial had been “irreparably tainted” after a court member improperly questioned a witness on material not in evidence. Then other prosecutors were appointed; changes in the court membership and criticisms about fairness and transparency. (Wikipedia)

As of now (latest sources), the trial for Ruch is on hold until October 2025, for procedural issues, review, ensuring a clean process. Eventually the Court for the Trial of a Bishop will issue a verdict after it resumes. (Wikipedia)

The So-Called Servant

Now let’s talk about one Levi E. Yoder of Apple Creek, Ohio, because all this CAM talk made me think of him. Thirty-one years old in 2017, callin’ himself a servant of the Lord while doin’ the devil’s work under his own roof. This man, if you can call him that, took advantage of his fifteen-year-old stepdaughter, his child, entrusted to his care, and left her pregnant. His excuse? He claimed she was in the middle of some “psychotic episode” when he assaulted her. Baby, please. Did he think his “magic penis” was a prescription? He sure acted like a backwoods pharmacist, dispensin’ trauma instead of medicine. I don’t understand these lunatics or the judicial system that let’s them off with a warning then back out in society with roamin’ people.

And let’s be real, multiple assaults, multiple opportunities to stop, but he didn’t. He confessed as much. That ain’t a slip. That’s a pattern. It’s so easy (not really) to sit here and write about it, but I cannot imagine as a 15-year-old, being assaulted by a grown man, your stepfather, who is supposed to protect you from evil, not corner you with it!

This child didn’t even speak up until she was four months pregnant, and when she did, she claimed she didn’t remember the assaults. You think that’s her words? Or the echo of an entire community breathin’ down her neck, coaxin’ her to forget? Maybe she was drugged. Maybe she was gaslit. Either way, the shame is carved into her young life like with a constant reminder of his sick perversion and she’s now raisin’ her abuser’s child, walkin’ around with a scarlet letter that don’t belong to her.

And her mama? Where was she? Probably sittin’ silent, lettin’ the Ordnung swallow up the accountability actin’ like she didn’t know it was happenin’! The Amish love their patriarchy too much to let justice run its course. Ruth Miller might yet be the game changer, but for now, silence was mama’s sermon.

Yoder stood before the court, and what did the justice system do? Two charges dropped in exchange for a guilty plea on one count of sexual battery. He went to prison, sure, but it was a slap-on-the-wrist sentence. Fast forward, and by his own damn admission, he’s out, off paper, livin’ free like he just jaywalked instead of destroyin’ a child’s life. That’s justice in America: a fart in the wind, gone before it even stinks up the place and they didn’t do jack shit to the feeble ass mom who probably blamed her daughter for enticing him for havin’ her bonnet untied.

Now look at this damn fool,Levi Yoder, struttin’ around in his knock-off Amish getup like he’s somebody’s prophet, when really, he’s just a predator with a pulpit. Dirty bare feet smackin’ the floor like it’s some backwoods hoedown. And trust me, if I was in that room, it would be a hoedown, with his head bouncin’ under my heel till the music stopped.

And don’t forget his sad stage prop of a wife, sittin’ there in that wheelchair like the sideshow act nobody bought tickets for. Mid-forties or so, but lookin’ ninety-five, all hollowed out and dried up like God himself got tired of her and wrung the life clean out. She sittin’ there starin’ into the abyss like she’s already waitin’ on the funeral director to call her name and dig a hole with her name on it.

This so-called “holy couple”? They ain’t holy, they’re a bad joke on repeat. Him play-actin’ forgiveness like it’s a damn theater show, and her sittin’ there like a ghost who never made it outta the cornfields. Truth is, both of ‘em deserve a one-way scenic trip, right up to the Grand Canyon, no brakes, no mercy. Let ‘em meet the bottom the same way they’ve dragged other lives down: hard, ugly, and unforgiven.

Amen, and fuck you very much.

Levi Yoder is the poster child for religious hypocrisy: preachin’ salvation while hidin’ his filth in plain sight. And the system that let him back out? Complicit. The community that stayed quiet? Guilty. The Lord may forgive, but the world’s keepin’ receipts, ME, I’m the world.

And if you think this “changed man” deserves a pulpit, honey, you ain’t right in the head. Some sins ain’t fit for Sunday redemption. Some sins need a millstone and deep water.

Here’s what chills me: CPS never swooped in to remove the kids from that house. The girl, already carrying her stepfather’s child, was left in terror with psychotic episodes aplenty, and I wonder if he ever thought, as he was pullin’ out his meat stick, if he realized that he was THE FUCKING SOURCE OF HER PSYCHOTIC BREAKS!!!! NOT TO MENTION HER MAMA!

Meanwhile, in the same Ohio courts, “regular” parents are jailed for truancy or for sendin’ their kid to school in suede shoes when it rains. This is what justice looks like? That’s not justice, it’s rot and that’s why we have so many of these situations, no accountability and a bunch of unhealed people with no idea how to live with the trauma they’ve been given.

Here’s the pattern: these so-called ministries and “men of God” care more about reputation than repentance. They shuffle predators around like dirty laundry, blame the victims for talkin’, and hoard donations under the guise of “helping the poor.” And too many folks keep givin’ money, buying pies, and clappin’ for the costume.

The Amish? They care about appearances. CAM? They care about donations. And predators like Mast and Yoder? They thrive in the shadows of both.

So, I’ll ask you, why do we gamble our children’s safety, our very souls, on men with a Bible and a silver tongue, instead of demanding accountability the way we do from doctors, teachers, or anyone else with power? Why are we following these wolves all the way to the bank lettin’ them deposit your hard-earned money as a guilt tithe for a seat at the Lord’s supper table, when your table has scraps and they are dining on lobsters and Porterhouse. With the money CAM is rakin’ in we shouldn’t have one hungry soul in America for sure, but they wanna’ claim all that international money because it’s easier to hide. Why is most of the money they get earmarked for overseas projects instead of right here and why not for the Amish, because while some Amish are sleepin’ on Benjamins, some are livin’ in straight poverty. Supposedly some of the CAM employees, the highest paid ones, are pullin’ in between $50,000-80,000 a year. That’s a straight up lie, because our economy is shit and that ain’t that much money these days, and they damn sure ain’t livin’ on that measly money when they’re hoarding millions.

We all know what’s going on… They are over here in their modest homes being the big pretenders, as if they are humble servants for the Lord, makin’ pittance collecting money for all the poor souls of the world, until they are out of everybody’s sight. Then they go to their secret compounds like wannabe Epsteins and have pillow fights on luxury threadcount and order DoorDash like it’s going out of style. Going all over, livin’ like kings on donated dimes forgetting about the people in America and those they took the money from who have to pipe sunshine out of their ass to stay warm and so many wondering where their next meal is comin’ from. These donation swindlers are wielding power with tens of millions of dollars and the lack of transparency about payouts to victims and unreported discrepancies need to be critiqued.

Shit, let’s talk about that CAM compound in Berlin, Ohio, big as a small college campus, shiny as sin, while they keep runnin’ the same tired stock photos off Google of some “starvin’ African kid” that’s been lookin’ the same since 1987. Hell, that boy oughta’ be pushin’ 55 by now, and if y’all ain’t fed him yet, what the fuck are we even talkin’ about? NEWSFLASH: Africa ain’t the one-room hut these greedy bastards sell you in their brochures. There’s plenty of scratch out there, folks ridin’ in Benzes, sleepin’ in mansions, doin’ just fine. But nooo, here come CAM and their cockeyed cousins tellin’ you lies so you’ll send another check.

And don’t even get me started on their Coronavirus Crisis Care hustle. The Amish and Mennonites didn’t want to wear masks, didn’t want to get jabbed, didn’t want to believe in none of it, but oh, they’ll sure as hell pass the plate to collect your money “for the cause.” For what? So, you can get vaccinated while they keep refusin’? Fuck you and your holy hustle. That’s like sellin’ a fire extinguisher to everybody else while you dance around in gasoline, prayin’ it don’t spark.

And Lord, it reminds me of Emmie’s ex up in Missouri, stitchin’ masks by the dozen tryin’ to get rich, when she wouldn’t wear one herself. This is the same woman that probably washed her hands as often as she washed her ass, rarely. And you wanna’ tell me that’s charity? Nah, baby. That’s a hustle in a dirty bonnet.

So, here’s my benediction: fuck your glossy brochures, fuck your pandemic fundraisers, fuck your fake clinics and ghost stories. You ain’t feedin’ kids, you feedin’ your empire, and I see right through it. You might send a few care packages to make it look good and you like seein’ your name on a cardboard box, but we ain’t seen none of these people, and if you can’t feed the people who are fundin’ your enterprise, then Twatt the hell are you really doin’, and better yet, TWatttt are you really hidin’?

From CAM’s own Public Annual Reports & Financials:

• 2022: CAM lists $2,225,273 as the expense for Coronavirus Crisis Care. Christian Aid Ministries
• 2021: The “Coronavirus Crisis Care” program shows up as $1,415,396 in expenses. Christian Aid Ministries
• 2023: The COVID line drops way down, $21,888 is what CAM shows under “Coronavirus Crisis Care” expenses. Christian Aid Ministries

So, $1.4-$2.2 million in earlier COVID years, then nearly negligible by 2023. That suggests the heavy spend for COVID was early on (when the pandemic was acute) and then tapered off.

CAM’s Domestic U.S. Program Spending (for comparison)

To compare: CAM’s U.S.-based/spiritual/disaster/relief-type work:

In 2023, Disaster Response / Rapid Response / Search & Rescue ~ $4,579,935; Billboard Evangelism – $7,338,297. *Fucking Billboard Evangelism*

In 2022, the USA programs had lines like: Billboard Evangelism – $6,981,837; Disaster Response Services / Rapid Response / Search & Rescue – $4,104,273. Christian Aid Ministries

So, according to CAM, the COVID-crisis fund numbers are REAL and public. So, CAM did collect or allocate millions for “Coronavirus Crisis Care.” Ironic, since they refused to get vaccinated or do anything to protect the public, but when you compare those numbers to what they spend domestically for other things, or what they spend internationally (e.g. Ukraine, medicine programs, etc.), the COVID dollars are small fry.

Also, when the COVID crisis cooled, CAM’s reported expense for that program dropped dramatically (to $21,888 in 2023), which suggests it wasn’t a long-term core program, just emergency response.

So, where did all the money go? Well, let’s see…

CAM’s own reports show the program was mostly relief logistics (food parcels, hygiene kits, some medical supplies) pushed to overseas partners:

• India – food distributions during lockdowns; CAM’s photo logs show repeated India drops. Christian Aid Ministries
• Central Asia (Kazakhstan) – food packages to families. (Christian Aid Ministries)
• Nigeria – food aid to widows/orphans hit by restrictions. (CAM Canada write-ups mirror the same “Coronavirus Crisis Care” stream.) widows and orphans? Seems sketchy, and very precise. Let’s just save the widows and orphans and nobody else. Makes sense. (christianaidministries.ca)

What CAM booked as program expense under “Coronavirus Crisis Care”:

• 2021: $1,415,396
• 2022: $2,225,273
• 2023: $21,888 (program basically wound down) (Christian Aid Ministries) I’m guessing the free money train ran out like it did all over healthcare, and they were bored with that hustle.

Now, who donated all that money to them? Well, they don’t publish donors and I didn’t see anything about a PPP loan, but you can bet your ass somebody with deep pockets did, or else these are false numbers with a little tax shuffle. Funds are just reported as “support from donors.” General contributions from their base, overwhelmingly Amish/Mennonite and sympathizers. (Christian Aid Ministries)

Now, by their own report, country by country, they listed the following items I guess to prove that these manufactured scripts were proof of their goodness and to explain where the money went, without lookin’ around and seein’ all the death, despair, and job loss right here of people who could have used some help.

• May 13, 2021 – “India COVID crisis: Fear, hunger, and death” – CAM frames mass need during India’s Delta wave; relief = food distributions. Christian Aid Ministries
• Sept 9, 2021 – “Some good people came and gave me food” – CAM describes village runs to single mothers, migrant laborers, garbage collectors, and Gypsies, with a 2021 Coronavirus Crisis Care budget goal of $12.5M noted on the page. Christian Aid Ministries I like how they threw Gypsies in there for good measure. *puke*
• Photo gallery (“COVID-19 Crisis”) shows India distributions (families queued, food parcels, kids eating on site). Visual receipts you can reference. Christian Aid Ministries
• Oct 5, 2021 – “Aid for Kazakhstan’s most vulnerable” – CAM says lockdowns wiped out small businesses; they targeted large families, homes with disabled children, widows, and stranded Uzbek migrants. Page shows Coronavirus Crisis Care budget goal $12.75M; $3.0M still needed at that time. Christian Aid Ministries Yeah, we were over here losin’ our jobs too, but CAM needed another $3.0M to help those in Uzbekistan.
• The same COVID gallery shows recipients in Kazakhstan unpacking relief parcels. Christian Aid Ministries
• Feb 18, 2021 – “A year later suffering continues around the world” – snippets include Yemen (“I stayed at home waiting for death”) and a restricted country where contacts delivered food to elderly, paralyzed woman; these are framed as Coronavirus Crisis Care distributions. Christian Aid Ministries
• COVID gallery includes a Turkey photo captioned “A woman returns to her home after a food distribution in Turkey.” (No long write-up, but it’s on CAM’s COVID page.) Christian Aid Ministries

I have to wonder though, did any of these people actually have COVID? If you had COVID, you were sick as hell and couldn’t eat, so none of this would apply. CAM should be ashamed for not doing anything here when our own country lost so many.

Now, let’s look at what Uzbekistan received in funds and donations compared to US Stats…. This is the Money that Uzbekistan got for Covid

• World Bank (IDA): $95M credit for Uzbekistan’s Emergency COVID-19 Response (approved Apr. 24, 2020), plus a $4.07M grant from the Pandemic Emergency Facility. (World Bank)
• Asian Development Bank: a $500M CARES loan for budget support, a $100M health emergency loan, and $1.36M in grants for equipment/supplies. (Asian Development Bank)
• U.S. Government assistance: by June 4, 2020, the U.S. tallied -$6M in COVID assistance to Uzbekistan; CDC also funded $2.07M specifically for the country. (Later State) This put total U.S. Covid aid to Uzbekistan at more than $7 million.
• Vaccines donated (in-kind): COVAX initially allocated 2.256M AstraZeneca doses to Uzbekistan; by mid-2022/until later shipments, UNICEF noted Uzbekistan had received – 61M total COVID vaccine doses from all sources combined. (Unicef)

Bottom line: most of the big money was loans (WB/ADB), with grants and in-kind vaccines layered on top, but they had PLENTY!!!!! Now, let’s talk about the deaths of Uzbekistan vs United States

• Uzbekistan (official): – 1,637 total COVID-19 deaths reported (a figure that hasn’t materially changed since 2022 updates). (Reuters)
• United States (official): >1.1 million deaths (CDC/Wikipedia consolidated tallies; exact running total varies by source and update). (Wikipedia)

That means the U.S. recorded roughly 700× more COVID deaths than Uzbekistan’s official count. Keep in mind WHO/OWID caution that official death counts understate true tolls– especially in places with limited death-registration capacity-so cross-country comparisons have big caveats. (Our World in Data)

So, why did CAM need $15M or so to give to these people and this country?

• Apr 18, 2022 – “World Hunger Fund: Responding to the global food crisis” – CAM says that throughout COVID supporters “provided millions of pounds of food,” then declares a pivot from Coronavirus Crisis Care to the World Hunger Fund as the pandemic subsides but hunger persists. Use this when you explain why the 2023 COVID line drops to -nothing. (Christian Aid Ministries)

The people in Uzbekistan were no better or worse than anyone else, they weren’t in a famine, they were in an economic squeeze like everybody else. The government rolled out cash assistance to over 500,000 low-income households and it’s expanded its poverty-targeted support. Plus, with $95million from the World Bank and $500M from the Asian Development Bank, the state had big money to keep people afloat.

I think CAM was using the pandemic to line their own pockets, and what better way than to tug on people’s heartstrings. Were families struggling, yes, everybody was, but was the whole nation starving, Hell NO!

• CAM’s COVID spend existed, but it was relief logistics (food/hygiene), not vaccines. Their content is heavy on distribution stories and evangelistic framing, light on public health interventions. (Christian Aid Ministries) So, why did they push the COVID narrative? To get more fuckin’ money of course.
• The abrupt drop in 2023 lines up with their own statement that COVID relief was being folded into the World Hunger Fund. (Christian Aid Ministries) The only problem with that was, the world wasn’t as hungry as they were for more donations.

If COVID was real, why weren’t their happy, greedy asses taking the vaccine and helping to protect everyone with herd immunity? They claimed on their page to focus on relief like food, masks, hygiene items and medical aid, and let’s not forget Christian messaging, not vaccine drives. Their own backyard of Holmes County, Ohio which is half Amish, had the lowest vaccination rate in Ohio during 2021 according to health officials. “Less than 1%” of Amish showin’ up for shots at one point. That’s culture, not clinic supply. They didn’t give a damn about vaccines, but they cared about the donations and using the COVID angle to get their mitts on more money. If they were pushin’ so hard of Uzbekistan, did they push that hard for all the countries they claimed to support, which is basically all of them.

Look at these numbers, baby: one year they’re pullin’ $161.4M, the next it’s still hoverin’ around $150M, and net assets sittin’ pretty in the $95–$102M range. And then, oh, the comedy, some tidy little line for “Executive Compensation” at $356K (total), while front-facing salaries read like “golly gee, just a humble $56,711 for President David N. Troyer and $85,823 for VP Philip Troyer.” Uh-huh. Then you peek at the related entity in the same Berlin, Ohio orbit and surprise, six-figure comp shows up like manna from a different payroll heaven. Different org, same parking lot. If these folks sneezed, Bitcoin would rattle out their assholes. One would question anyway why the VP was makin’ more than the damn President himself?

Meanwhile, victims in Haiti got a grand total that wouldn’t buy a used Fiat individually, and the $420,000 split across a field of boys whose lives were bulldozed. Do the math, CAM’s sittin’ on mountains and handin’ out molehills, then tellin’ us about humility like they are the sin fact checkers. Well, I’m a sinner baby, so go ahead and write that in your “Get to Heaven” raffle, and so, are they? They are part of the Amish Greed Corporation, so they may get to Hell before I do.

And explain to me, with your outside voice, why an “anonymous donor” had to pay ransom for three hostages when “pray, don’t pay” is the company hymn. Y’all keep a no-ransom policy in the lobby, but out back you’re takin’ million-dollar love offerings from a mystery wallet? Who were those three, chosen by God or chosen by ledger?

So, here’s my conspiracy theory with extra cayenne: maybe the whole kidnapping saga was less “Book of Acts” and more “Act I, Scene 1: Wire the Funds.” A holy hoarder’s paradise needs a headline, right? Nothin’ loosens a donor’s grip like danger and a choir of trembling violins. “We don’t pay ransom.” Cute. You just know a guy who does, cashier’s check, front desk, hallelujah.

And don’t it track with the Amish pageant we’ve seen since forever? On the surface it’s quilts, bonnets, and butter churns. Underneath, it’s smoke, mirrors, and a card-swipin’ ATM in a buggy. Self-sufficient? Please. Without English wallets, tax breaks, and a trillion bake sales and half of them bought the cakes and pies at Walmart and passed it off as their own, this tent show folds faster than a dollar store lawn chair. Every season it’s medical bill auctions and barn-raising fundraisers and schoolhouse pies, while Amish Aid sits fat and happy like a sanctified insurance company, assets stacked to heaven, and still can’t cut a check when the house is literally on fire, and CAM is over here with a 150 money counters as the sound that lulls them to sleep at night.

Spare me the “we’re just simple folks” monologue. This is brand management in UGLY CLOTHES. One org, two payrolls, three ransomed hostages, and a sanctuary full of donors who never read beyond the glossy brochure. If “integrity” was a line item, y’all would file it under miscellaneous and pay it out in anonymous, with somebody else’s money of course. Cheap bastards.

So, tell it straight: why the secret bankrolls, why the two-faced salary stories, why the ransom through a back door? ’Cause to me it looks like pray in public, pay in private, and profit in perpetuity. Bless your hearts and pay your victims and who in the hell made up the escape story? The bishop? Y’all want clout so bad, and you want to be the heroes when you end up lookin’ like dumb losers.

So yeah, if CAM really did stage a kidnapping, I wouldn’t even blink. They’ve already proven they’ll sacrifice kids, protect predators, and spin scripture into a cash register, and what better PR move than a “miracle escape” that rallies sympathy, silences critics, and fattens up the donation plate? Call me jaded, but I see a pattern, and it don’t smell like incense, it smells like a damn CON.

Now here’s the head-scratcher: if CAM really believes in this “prayer takes care of everything” mantra they sell like one of those dirty handed pies at one of their produce auctions, why the hell are they rakin’ in millions a year from the pockets of strugglin’ people? Why not pray for that too? Put some knees on hardwood, let Jesus rain down them Benjamins, right? But nah, instead of prayin’ the money into existence, they’re strong-arming every Amish and Mennonite donor this side of the Mississippi, not to mention any other fool willin’ to write them a check and throw it in one of her their mass delivered envelopes with Ukrainian people on it, and why is America so fascinated with sending every damn dollar we have sending it to Ukraine when we’ve already sent their country BILLIONS! What the hell is Ukraine doin’ for us? Their fairy prancing president needs to come up off some of those American billions and take care of his own people so ours can have some food in their mouths! And like Zelensky, why is CAM so goddamn willing to steal from their own people so they can allegedly help everyone but their own country. If they want to save the world, why don’t they move their headquarters and their back-quarters on over there. Oh, I know why, because Europeans ain’t that goddamn gullible to finance these fools, only dumbass Americans would do that. Seems to me if CAM is giving these people stuff, then enough is enough. They’ve been around since 1981 and shit ain’t got no better, so it’s just enabling at this point, like teasing a meth addict one parcel at a time. JUST STOP!!!! You are takin’ all this money from your people and then some, when there are Amish today livin’ on food stamps and trying to survive, but CAM is so fuckin’ arrogant, they just want to be ballers with imaginary clout. You are nothin’ more than a bunch of skeezy con artists in your Mecca Pole Barn compound lookin’ like hillbilly lottery winners buyin’ dumb shit because you didn’t earn it.

PSA, sugar: if you’re still cuttin’ checks to this circus, stop!!!!. Your $50 “blessin’” ain’t a ticket to heaven, it’s a one-way ride to the poorhouse for you and a padded runway for their brand machine. Groceries are running two hundred bucks for five sad items and somehow, you’re supposed to bankroll a ministry that can’t hand you a single clean receipt? Miss me with that bullshit!

These folks trot out the same pity-porn images and pass the plate like it’s sacrament, then act shocked when anybody asks, “Where’d the money go?” It’s always “international initiatives,” “global outreach,” “crisis care” in places you’ll never visit and can’t verify, while stateside needs need a sammich’ and a prayer circle. Meanwhile, leadership keeps that aw-shucks salary on one form and the real numbers on a “related entity” down the road like a damn bookie. Cute trick. Not illegal, just opaque as a coal cellar at midnight.

And don’t let anybody gaslight you about givin’ in plain communities. In some districts “voluntary” feels a whole lot like mandatory. Skip that check, and watch the whispers start, the side-eyes roll, the fellowship frost over. That ain’t charity, that’s social pressure dressed up as piety. Tryin’ to make a muthafucka’ feel bad about wantin’ to feed their own family first. Sometimes you gotta’ look out for yourself and say FUCK THEM, I’m doin’ me, and they can hustle their own vittles tonight. Same energy with “mutual aid”: you write checks “based on what you own,” but when disaster hits, it’s not your need, it’s your reputation, that gets weighed by a bishop with a ledger. I’ve seen it with my own eyes: one family told to “pay because you make good money,” another mysteriously bailed out and then flipped the house. Fair? Or just convenient? Nah, Emmie never got bailed out, but his lazy ass brother did. That is the Amish way.

And the “global logistics”? They’ll swear they don’t own a plane (and maybe they don’t), but the cash still takes flight through aviation partners and pass-throughs, Missionary Flights International, Agape Flights, MAF, movin’ people and pallets with zero public manifests you can check. Clinics appear in glossy brochures, disappear in government registries. Medicine counted by the wholesale value of corporate donations they didn’t even buy. “Impact stories” instead of audited outcomes. It’s Goodwill with Bibles baby, and the barcodes are blurred. Where the fuck is the clinic? Why ain’t you got one here if it’s so successful in other countries? You get medicine here, but you can’t share that with your own people? Greed!

So, keep yo’ money and tell the fat cats at CAM to go get a job and quit BEGGIN!!! Keep your wallet closed and your questions open. Give local, give transparent, give to folks who can show you before/after without needin’ a passport, a warehouse tour, and a decoder ring.

If that steps on some toes, fuck it. Better bruised toes than another busted illusion.

So, while CAM’s out here pattin’ themselves on the back for “helpin’ the needy,” they’re really proppin’ themselves up on the backs of people who don’t even get a real choice. That’s not faith, that’s called a Scammin. CAM ain’t no better than that Shenk dude who conned the Amish out of millions, like $33M to be exact for a bible SCAM. He’s still wanted, but damn, y’all need a damn class or somethin’ because Christian Aid Ministries is worse!

Let’s call a spade a spade. CAM ain’t no “aid ministry,” it’s a pipeline. They siphon millions from good-hearted American donors, many of ‘em their own Plain folk who never Googled a damn thing in their life and if they did, they certainly ain’t about to go down rabbit holes to question the like of CAM, even if they did see how they were funneling their hard-earned donated money, or, I’m sorry, “humanitarian aid” overseas. These pretty brochures, glossy photos of brown children with big eyes, and promises of “clinics” like Joshua Memorial Clinic in Haiti and Balm of Gilead in Nicaragua. It’s strange, because most Amish I know call those brown people that racist word starting with an N and endin’ with that curt “er.” They are racists, most of them, and I’ve heard my own step-kids use the word it like it’s the most normal shit in the world and people can’t hear them because they’re Amish. DUMB!

But when you actually go lookin’ for these clinics? Ghost towns. No MSPP registration in Haiti, no MINSA registry in Nicaragua, no independent audits of who the hell got served. Just vague stories and patient counts plucked from thin air. Meanwhile, CAM logs $43.2M in “donated” pharmaceuticals, but honey, those meds came straight from Pfizer and all of the other big pharmaceutical companies sending that stuff directly to CAM and stored in their warehouse in Ephrata, Pa until it’s shipped out. This is Big Pharma’s write-off department, they donate them and get the tax break, if the medicine goes bad or gets lost, not their problem, they aren’t responsible for it after they sign off as a donation. CAM didn’t buy them, they just slapped their name on the cargo and claimed the credit, so it makes them look good for donating this much in life-saving medicines (like ibuprofen and antibiotics), but they are still holdin’ on to that cold-hard-cash sittin’ in their offshore accounts, or under their mattress, either way, they ain’t buyin’ that shit outta’ pocket because everybody is scratchin’ everybody’s backs, but who is really benefiting from these medical supplies and other donations?

Sayin’ ya’ donated $43.2 million in medicine is one thing but implying you paid for it is another. That ain’t charity, that’s DECEPTION.

• Joshua Memorial Clinic, La Source, Haiti: CAM claimed to have opened this clinic in 1996, and it’s been open and operating since. Yet the Haitian Yet the Haitian Ministry of Health rosters don’t list it. NGO directories? No idea. Local Press? Nothin’. The only place this “clinic” exists is on CAM’s website and on a sketchy map index, could be a hut, could be a mailbox, or a hut with a mailbox they let of the victims live in to get their “mail”. Who’s staffing it? What doctors are on payroll? Nobody knows. It’s the land of Wazi Woozie. The clinic of make believe.
• Then there’s the Balm of Gilead Clinic, Waslala, Nicaragua: CAM crows about it too, and it was supposedly started in 1997. At least here there’s some local acknowledgement. Mennonite churches from Costa Rica supposedly help. But where are the government inspection reports, the medical director’s license, the supply chain manifests? We’re left with CAM’s word and CAM’s glossy numbers.

CAM’s Medicines-for-Multitudes page says 4,500 patients “helped” at Joshua in 2022, 5,200 at Balm in Nicaragua. No names, no records, no independent verification. Just trust us, y’all. They are CAM and how dare you not absorb wholeheartedly what they say as the gospel, they are changing the world! At least that’s what they want you to believe.

FOLLOW THE MONEY: UKRAINE VS. AMERICA

Let’s break it down:

• Ukraine: $16.75M (2023), $7.86M (2024). They “hire contractors” overseas, rebuild homes, supply Ukrainians mid-war. Risky as hell, but CAM’s checkbook is wide open. They can’t seem to do enough for this country and others, if these numbers are legitimate and they’re actually doin’ any of this, but since they’ve not been very transparent in their recordings, and notorious for attempting to cover things up, this is just a bunch of random numbers they’ve decided looked good. I mean, why the hell would they be givin’ that much money to those in war torn countries while ignoring the needs of not only their own people, but the plight of the people that we have in America presently. Would it kill them to play Jesus in their own backyard, and with as much scratch as they’ve pulled in since its existence, they could have made significant impacts in the lives of Americans. So, let’s talk about some U.S. Dollars…
• USA: $3.10M (Disaster Response Services) + $1.51M (Search & Rescue). That’s pennies in comparison, and ask them how many homes they rebuilt in Kentucky, North Carolina, or Mayfield after the tornadoes? They don’t’ say. They sure brag about “20+ sites, but zero hard numbers like Baptists on a mission who stated they had built 477 homes.

I know in Boone, NC it was reported that 62 Amish builders from a community in Pennsylvania built about 12 tiny homes, which cost around $300,000, but that wasn’t through CAM and that money was donated by their community. So, I wonder why CAM didn’t step in and donate some money, resources, materials, or anything for this project? These Amish folks showed up front and center on their own to build and didn’t bring a bunch of flashy trailers with them. Nah, it seems that CAM is really good at soliciting donations and attempting to get companies to donate materials and everything so when CAM shows up, it looks like they are the real deal heroes which gives them a clout induced chubby from all that braggadocio. They won’t mention that Home Depot or Lowe’s donated it and they were just the freight movers. Nah, that could never be them! They must have the attention, unless about sexual assault, then they’ll meet ya’ in a dark room to talk strategy, cause’ that could mess their money up.

So, here’s the truth: Your grandma’s $50 donation in Ohio went to a contractor in Kyiv, not a homeless widow in Kentucky. (Or it went into a coffee can they hid in their barn somewhere and nobody got shit.)

CAM loves to call it a “settlement,” but baby, let’s call it what it was: hush money. $420,000 tossed like scraps at an unspecified number of Jeriah Mast’s victims, boys whose innocence was stolen, dignity shredded, and future scarred. By the math? About $10K to $20K each, maybe $14K a soul if you stretch it. That’s what CAM said a Haitian child’s innocence was worth, less than a used buggy off Craigslist.

And here’s the kicker: this wasn’t “compassion.” This was further abuse. The same organization that turned a blind eye when Mast was out there huntin’ boys in Haiti is now tellin’ those same kids, “Here’s your silence money. Now go sit down.” It took time away from them coddling their favorite predator whom they probably still fatten’ his books in prison every month.

Let’s not forget the star of this horror show: Jeriah Mast. CAM knew good and well since 2013 this man was a serial predator. And what did they do? Shipped him right back to Haiti like he was missionary of the month. A career rapist on CAM’s dime, smilin’ like the stock photos in their brochures while he was leavin’ bodies and broken spirits behind him.

And when it finally blew up in 2019, not all because of CAM, mind you, but because the truth spilled in Ohio, who paid the tab? Donors. The folks who thought they were feedin’ the poor and housing widows, not funding Jeriah Mast’s “per diem” for perversion.

Now, let’s shine the floodlight on CAM managers Paul and Eli Weaver. These two clowns knew since at least 2013 what Mast was doing. They sat on it for six years. Six. Years. And when it all came crashin’ down? Did they end up behind bars, sharin’ a bunk with the monster they protected? Hell no. They’re still sittin’ at home, fat and comfortable, probably takin’ meetings about “donor engagement strategy.”

That, my friends, ain’t negligence. That’s complicity. Straight up. You don’t get to play dumb when you’ve been feedin’ a predator back into the pen.

So, let’s quit sugarcoating. CAM used unrestricted donation money, the very dollars good folks’ thought were buying rice, beans, and hope, to cover for their employee of the decade, Jeriah Mast. That ain’t restitution, that’s squalid money. And every board member who signed off on it? They don’t belong in a boardroom; they belong on the monster group plan in prison.

They paraded kids’ faces on glossy websites, propped up stock-photo smiles to keep checks rollin’ in, all while knowing damn well they had a wolf in their camp.

You wanna know what CAM really stands for? Covering Abusers’ Mess.

And to that, Zella says: Meet me outside, bitches.

Let’s talk Human Trafficking…..

The U.S. Trafficking Victims Protection Act defines it as recruitment, harboring, transport, etc., by force, fraud, or coercion for exploitation (sex, labor, slavery, organ trade). But look here:

Amish kids aren’t given a choice to have an education or go to school. They know that 8th grade is their last grade, then they’ll be workin’ full time, somewhere, doin’ somethin’. Generally, it ain’t gonna’ be on a farm full time, although they’ll be doin’ their share of chores, but mainly construction, sawmills, and any other illegal job their parent can force them into to collect some damn money. You know those kids gotta’ earn their keep, so they can appreciate the food on their plate, food in their stomach, and roof over their head, in the words of their Amish captors, aka, parents. However, no matter what outfit you wrap it up in, it’s still coerced labor under the guise of religion.

So, here’s CAM flyin’ under the radar, takin’ credit for “child rescue” with $457,749 in 2024, but no account of actual children helped. That’s PR trafficking. Exploiting the image of victims without showin’ receipts, and by their math, if they helped any kids, it’s a little over 30 with their fucked-up pay scale. I bet there are more Amish kids on their own street they could and should have helped, but they like these overseas, imaginary kids that nobody can’t really seem to locate, but still allows this organization to claim it as a tax write-off on one of their concrete lines.

So, Cam has a pattern of vagueness as their strategy. Opening up clinics with no licensed medical staff listed. No shipping manifests published. No independent audits of clients. No count of U.S. homes rebuilt. No published child rescue outcomes. Yeah, it sounds pretty Amishy, AmFishy.

The real fuckin’ kick in the pants is the fact that they basically tell America to go fuck themselves, they just want our money to swag n’ brag. They don’t help the homeless or feed the hungry, at least not on any measurable scale, but what they will graciously do with donor money is purchase plenty of fuckin’ billboards. ($6.97M in 2024 for what they refer to as “Billboard Evangelism.”) Have you ever heard of a more greedy, narcissistic bunch of bullshit in all your life. What kind of billboards you ask? Well, you know those ones that say “Jesus offers you a new life” and gives you a number to call for 83-For-Truth (1-833-678-7884), well, that would be them. That is what they spend millions of dollars on, so the people who are starving, livin’ on the fuckin’ streets and at the end of their goddamn rope can call this number and get some bullshit recording about spiritual guidance and how they send food, clothing, and medicine to those in other states, but here in the U.S. all you get is a recording and some dumbass directing you to the nearest church so you can repent of your sins. Wonder why Jeriah Mast didn’t call the fuckin’ number? So, yeah, that is their idea of being called to snatch n’ grab your money so they can get some clout. It’s absurd. About like them havin’ a big ass parking lot at their compound for parking spaces. I thought the Amish weren’t supppsed to drive, and since they ain’t employing anyone with cars, nor helping anyone around them without, then why the fuck do you need all those parking spaces. Oh, that’s right, “don’t do as we do, do as we preach.”

Scarlett O’ Hara once said, “With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.” But CAM flips the script: With enough reputation, you can do without courage, without receipts, without accountability. The Plain People motto is- Money talks, transparency walks.

??????? Question is: when the next glossy CAM brochure lands in your mailbox, do you send another check? Or do we start demanding receipts, manifests, staff licenses, audited outcomes, the way we’d demand from any billion-dollar-nonprofit who are eatin’ well off donor money and tax-free livin’.

So, here’s where we land, sugar: close your checkbook and open your eyes. Until CAM can step into the sunshine with real receipts, licensed clinics with names and doctors, country-by-country spend, independent audits you didn’t write yourselves, and survivor restitution that’s numbers not nouns, my wallet’s on sabbatical. Bless their branding, but if your “ministry” can’t stand the light, it doesn’t deserve the tithe. Feed your neighbor, pay a survivor’s bill, stock the local pantry, do good where you can verify it. Survivors first, donors deserve proof, and boards? Y’all better be ready for audits with teeth. No receipts, no donation, amen and pass the subpoena.
