MK forum

The Wartburg Watch blog has been following developments in the lawsuit (regarding child sexual abuse) against Soverign Grace Ministries leaders. Yesterday's post referenced the recent firing of GRACE by ABWE. It also mentions that GRACE did an investigation of NTM.

Kathy I saw that it is a good blog to follow.

I hesitate to write this in case it is not truth but I just read where Cedarville University has posthumously revoked Dr. Donn William Ketcham's honourary doctorate. This is the only news I have heard that he is dead, I am assuming this is truth. Full stop. They are also looking into the Michael Loftis' situation since he is on the board because of his neglect of the sexual abuse allegations and his subsequent neglect of the promise of an investigation. Full stop.

Can anyone clarify that the Ketcham name is also in NTM and is it the same family?

I noticed the Ketcham name in NTM but I only know the PEDOPHILE Dr. Donn William Ketcham who served as a medical doctor with ABWE in Bangladesh. I know he has no brothers and none of his children are with NTM. Full stop.

It's not the same family.

I applaud Christianity Today for wading into the ABWE-GRACE debate.

This article is worth your time. Please read it:

Pii, the group which ABWE has now hired to take over the investigation into MK abuse in Bangladesh, is the same Pii that is investigating NTM-Panama for/with IHART.

A lot to take in here, and sort out, and keep straight. But it is imperative that we do so.

I don't know for sure but makes me wonder if GRACE has uncovered more than ABWE bargained for and thus the firing a little over a month before the final report. From what I understand the girls on the blog are all united in the fact they backed GRACE so who are these supposed victims that say GRACE was not doing their job????? I realize men like Dr. Russ Ebersole (who was a missionary to Bangladesh before he moved to ABWE headquarters) would cry foul as they were part of the "good ole boys club." As is known Dr. Russ Ebersole is one of the two men that accompanied the 14 year old victim back to Bangladesh and I might add without a female accompaniment. Was here a pedophile ring? I know of another bangladesh missionary that was investigated by Showers Simms LLP and was found to be guilty of pedophilia. You can check this out on bangladeshmksspeak. Actually I am dealing with one of his accused, there are several. When we were with ABWE we knew that Bangladesh was "the best field in the world" as that was touted very much. The Bangladesh missionaries had clout with ABWE and it was a buddy buddy or using Aussie lingo matey matey field. The field of Bangladesh brought in lots of $ for ABWE and one of the factors was the doctors. Dr. Vic Olson, who wrote Daktar, and Dr. Donn William Ketcham, the known pedophile, were very popular with churches affiliated with ABWE. I mentioned that Dr. Russ Ebersole was moved to ABWE headquarters and if my mind is correct there were several ABWE Bangladesh missionaries that ended up in the home office. Of course the saying was, "the best missionaries are called home to work in the home office." My husband and I always thought this was odd as why wouldn't you leave the "the best missionaries" on the field? No answer required. I do know the girls are fighting to have the Pii investigation fully disclosed like GRACE would do. I truly think ABWE is in full protection mode and they really don't care who they hurt while trying to protect their past and present reputation. They proclaim one thing but practice another. Full stop.
