CHC CONFESSIONS: CHURCH FUNDS ALSO LIKELY TO HAVE PAID FOR KONG’S ENTOURAGE
A CHC member has revealed that Church funds could have been used to fund more than just Sun Ho’s Music Career. He alleges that funds were also likely to have been used for City College and O School, as well as paying for Kong Hee’s Entourage when he had international speaking engagements.
There have been a lot of concerns over the use of church funds by city harvest.
There has been much unhappiness over the abuse of church funds to buy a stake in suntec city. This is especially so when the money could be used to help the poor instead of enriching kong hee and his cronies. There have been many instances where ex-CHC have stepped forward to expose the church’s wrong doings.
Another courageous ex-CHC member has stepped forward to speak the truth.
I would like to invite all to discuss on the possible legal implications and social reprecussion of the abuse of church funds by Kong Hee and cronies. This is what the ex-CHC Member had to say:
1. Miss Ho Yeow Sun’s entourage includes two dancers. They can be seen dancing in Miss Ho’s recent music video, Fancy Free. These dancers are instructors of O School, which is funded by City College (that gets funds from City Harvest). These dance instructors are residing in the United States, residing in Miss Ho’s Los Angeles home. This brings to question if City Harvest is indirectly paying for Miss Ho’s dancers.
2. Xtron Productions have several employees who are board and executive members. Several on its payroll hold positions of leadership in the audio, lighting and media ministries. In November 2009, Rev. Kong Hee had a speaking engagement to Sacramento, California, several church employees (worship band, singers, and media personnel) were flown there with all expenses paid by the Church. In addition to that, Xtron employees were involved in the trip. If the speaking engagement was for the benefit of Rev. Kong, the question is, who pays for the cost to fly and accommodate his entourage?
It is known that Rev. Kong is not a salaried employee of City Harvest church. He relies on speaking engagement fees, love gifts and the royalties of his sermons and bible study material. However, how does the church draw the line between his personal speaking engagements and his service on behalf of the church? Also, why the need for Xtron employees to be part of the trip if this was promoted to church members as a missions trip? For many of Rev. Kong’s international speaking engagement, there is an employee from Xtron present to take photographs and record videos. Is City Harvest Church paying for the services or is the Reverend absorbing the costs?
….
May those who have read my comments and felt there is validity in it share the burden I have. I have been very careful in my choice of words and tone by which I make my comments. I could have given the names of the owners of Xtron Produtions, who are board and executive members. Unfortunately, my position does not permit or grant me the liberty to be a whistle blower.
Please understand that I am caught between a rock and a hard place. In 2003, when Roland Poon pointed out the church’s support of Miss Ho’s singing career, I witness the ugliness of hate. However, at the same time, I saw the pain in the eyes of church members who were deeply affected by the media slaughter of the church.
Over the course of days, I question if this was the right time to disclose the information that I have given. Why? Because many of the employees of Xtron, City College, Citycare, Little Big, O School, and along with the staff of City Harvest Church are fully aware of what goes on behind the scenes. Many have families with young children and mortgages and car payments to worry about. There are a large number of individuals dependent on how this system works. Sadly, it is snowballing into something monstrous.
From my heart,
Soren
Editor’s Note: This is a post made on Sg Forums a while ago, before the depth of the misuse of funds was known clearly. The point this writer makes about the pain of church followers seeing their funds misused is a good point. Many church members gave generously from their heart in the past and it is clearly painful for them to see their funds going to places they did not know or expect. Maybe some of the members now are still fooling themselves, and hoping, perhaps for their own funds’ sake, that Pastor Kong + Co are not guilty.

Comments such as these?
From John Lim: “I’ll say it’s not just ethically wrong but also legally wrong. If it’s a moral or ethical issue, then the members can vote with their feet, to leave or to stay. But too bad it’s not as simple as that. Now the 6 are facing the possibility of many years in prison because of crimes and not because of ethics. I know there are people who don’t like others proclaiming judgment before a verdict is out but my common sense tells me they are going to jail, and the longer the better. Just too bad that the main culprit only has 3 charges and innocent, leader-believing people like Serina Wee has 10 charges. And the one who enjoyed spending all the money basking in luxury and comfort is not even charged.
When Roland Poon came out, they silenced him with threats of legal action. And they were so confident that they sent a statement to the press to proclaim that no church money was used to finance her career. When COC announced investigations, there were so many prophecies that there will be no case. When CAD arrested them, their preacher friends prophesied that they will not be charged. When they were finally charged, and knowing they have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, they started preparing the church with Crossover propaganda.
First, it was CHC money was NOT used to support Sun’s career. Kong Hee himself announced that Sun’s career is secular and nothing to do with the church – don’t call her a pastor, she never was a pastor. Now it’s yes we used A&B funds for her career but it was for “evangelism”. Attendance 14,000 but proclaim it’s 33,000 members. Plagiarizing other author’s works. Plagiarizing other pastor’s sermons and claiming he worked hard to prepare the sermon. Am I the only one to see this consistent pattern of lies and deceptions?”
“And the one who enjoyed spending all the money basking in luxury and comfort is not even charged” – Sun Ho.
Here is the prosperity gospel’s supreme ambassador on her way to a “Victoria’s Secret” show, proud to show of her “wares” (and purchases).
Question is, who paid for all this???
So the “confessions” are things that MIGHT have happened? That’s some hard-hitting journalism you’ve got there…
In the absence of transparency, some level of surmise and conjecture must be. How about reading them and seeing narrations of things that DID happen…?
It’s anger and denial first, then followed by disappointment and depression(hopefully not) when reality hits. I hope for many, the final outcome will be acceptance of reality and healing, and moving on with Christ according to the gospel the Apostles preached not according to the false WOF health and wealth ‘ full gospel’.
‘So the “confessions” are things that MIGHT have happened?’
What has become clearly apparent is that Kong lied to members of his own “church” – he lied to their faces when he told them that the “church” was not funding Sun’s so-called career. So the sad fact that Kong is a bare-faced liar and a brazen hypocrite of the highest order is beyond dispute, based on the testimonies of his own congregants. What can you say about that, Kyle? Are you just going to persist in studiously ignoring the fact that Kong is not such much as a pastor’s bootlace; that is he is fact a low-life scumbag and a common thief?
It seems that you really can’t handle the truth. One day you are going to have to come to terms with the fact that when reality conflicts with your theology, it is your theology that is going to have to change – because reality is not going to shift to allow you to idolise worthless would-be leaders and their pathetically insecure wannabe pop start wives.
I like how this site tells me I need to question everything I hear and read, especially when it’s related to C3. I make one remark about what this site claims as facts, and suddenly I “idolise” Kong Hee and Phil Pringle.
I asked
“Are you just going to persist in studiously ignoring the fact that Kong is not such much as a pastor’s bootlace; that is he is fact a low-life scumbag and a common thief?”
But it is apparent that you have no answer to that question, so you simply pretend that it was never asked. Your constructed reality has more holes in it than a swiss cheese, and you present as a typical C3 / CHC apologist, being, as you are, borderline delusional.
Have you been following the trial in Singapore, Kyle? So many lies are being exposed; so much deceit, greed and hypocrisy is being brought into the light. Did you know that Kong – who asked his followers to give “until tears ran down [their] faces” – TITHED TO HIMSELF? That he and his wife lived the high life while demanding that their hapless disciples make more and more sacrifices? Did you know that Kong even stooped to taking money from the elderly and from children? Have you read your Bible, Kyle? Do you know that God is the defender of the weak? How do you think that He will deal with those who steal from young innocents, and who then have the unmitigated gall to stand in front of their followers and declare “I maintain my integrity”?
You are nothing but an empty-headed fool who has put his trust in men. See if you can prove otherwise: explain to us how the theft of SG$24,000,000 from “church” members is somehow excusable.
Very disturbed to see the way Sun dresses and behaves in all the videos.
When you start idolising a pastor, believing he is next to the Almighty, refusing to see the blaring reality, you are worshipping the wrong GOD. Those who support the wrong people really do not know what is GOD. Do I know GOD? No, I don’t but at least I m not fooled to believe unthinkingly. GOD is one form beyond comprehension of the human mind.
