A pastor has been arrested for child abuse when he allegedly allowed children around sex offenders at his ministry, Harvest Vineyard Ministries.  Of course, God wants us as ministers to reach out to all types of people, but we have to use wisdom.    

It is not wise to allow kids around those who have a history of lust for children, because you never know what they may do, if they are not fully surrendered to God.  However, we do understand Pastor Thompson was trying to see them as changed people, but the law does not see it that way and again, you never know what's in certain people.

Pastor Alex Thompson has been arrested and his ministry is closed.  In the meantime, we will keep him in our prayers.
