They called K.A. Paul “the Billy Graham of India.” During his heyday in the 1990s, some Christian leaders in the United States gave big donations to the evangelist, assuming he was using the money to feed thousands of orphans and widows.
As it turned out, most of the funds Paul raised were used to buy a huge 747 outfitted with a second-floor cabin that contained his own bed, complete with red and gold lamé bedspread. Paul flew the oversized aircraft to Third World nations where he grabbed as much publicity as possible by staging photo ops with politicians. He tried to convince them that his Houston-based organization, Gospel to the Unreached Millions, was alleviating world poverty.
In actuality, Paul was stealing from Christians to feed his monstrous ego....
2 Corinthians 4 2 but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.---NASB
"How do people who claim to be doing God’s work turn out to be selfish charlatans?"
The "selfish charlatans" like this guy, are relatively easy to pick out, another name which springs to mind is Benny Hinn.
But the real "Con-Artists" are the fake religions like Roman Catholic, Liberals, JW's etc who never are "exposed" in public like this article, simply because the "public" majority wouldn't know a religious Con from a peanut butter sandwich.
Charisma Magazine is one of the con artists. How soon we forget. In 2005, they promoted Jordan Rubin as a "Christian" health expert. They did not mention materially important information like the fact that his medical credentials were bogus (something I turned up in a minute or two searching for him - one diploma mill had been shut down since giving him a "degree"), or mention he had changed his story from his own quack health products healing him of a disease to God healing him. Instead, Charisma misled Christians in their magazine promotion of Jordan's book (which was published by their book-publishing division) to make money. To date, as far as I am aware, Charisma has never acknowledged that they did anything wrong, let alone repented. Charisma needs to get the plank our of their own eye before talking about the mote in anyone else's.
(I have documentation in a blog article about everything I've said here.)
