Chris Rosebrough from Fighting for the Faith recently interviewed Kerri Ferguson on his radio program. If you are not familiar with who Kerri Ferguson is we encourage viewers to read what we have covered on the C3 Penrith scandal so far:
C3 Parramatta Scandal Part 1
C3 Parramatta Scandal Part 2 – The cover-up Scandal that Pringle refused to deal with
C3 Parramatta Scandal Part 3 – Sex, Money, Power
C3 Parramatta Scandal Part 4 – C3 regards pastors gambling worse than pastors defending a pedophile
C3 Parramatta Scandal Part 5 – Phil Pringle’s leadership: an unresolved mess
C3 Parramatta Scandal Part 6 – C3 prophetically manipulating the abused into silence
C3 Parramatta Scandal Part 7 – Letter exposing Pringle covering up paedophilia refusing to help victim
This is footage we have had for a number of years, exposing the cover up of pedophilia in the Australian Christian City Church movement. To this day, NONE of the “pastors” Kerri Ferguson went to for help have EVER bothered checking up on her or apologized for how they refused to help her in her time of need. These “pastors” are Phil Pringle, Brian Houston, Ian Treacy, and Gary Dench.

In Australia, some people consider paedophilia to be worse than murder. Don’t forget these “Pastors” faces that allowed these crimes to continue in the name of “Jesus.”
If they can get away with covering up paedophilia… then nothing can stop them. These men are before the Royal Commission. Yet Brian Houston and Phil Pringle are influencing our political leaders.
A heart wrenching interview – Kerri, you are courageous and bold & I see you are endeavouring to WARN those who sit in these Magic Shows and soak up the trash, to TEST ALL THINGS. The Bible instructs all of us to do just that so the responsibility is with all congregations. We are all answerable to God and if you go to church for the music, the show, the casting out of demons shows, the “fabulous” and expensive guest speakers – be it on your own souls. God said to TEST and TEST you must. Don’t be afraid then, to stand and vacate your seat!! You are missing the Gospel message and instead, attending a side-show.
Dench, Treacy – (I can’t bring myself to call them “Pastors”) – not trained, not equipped to handle such horrendous matters and certainly not caring men as evidenced in your story – they cared less. In effect, they threw you back into the lion’s den. They were too proud to seek Professional assistance for you and too lax to even pray for your protection and healing. Afraid to report the Matter to the Police lest their church attract distasteful publicity. It was all about THEM. Disgraceful!
Again Kerri, thank you for telling truths that caused you much pain and suffering. How good it is to know that Jesus paid the price for your pain and suffering. Beautiful!!
To those Pastors – so called – stop the gravy train nonsense and your opulent lifestyles. Preach the Gospel. Preach Jesus and Jesus crucified and raised in glory and leave the innocent people alone to find God. For it is surely Him they seek, not your pathetic autograph. Please God, let their charlatan “shows” be over!!
Agreed with your review. I was physically distressed by this story! These pastors fail the “man in the street” test. This behavior is so egregious, so foul, that it is not merely selfishness. This is behavior from the pit of hell. I had thought these pseudo-pastors were just misguided. I now see they are empowered by a darker force. Do they not know this verse: “Mark 42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. ” We are all sinners, but this offense against the child should cause them to get their fitting established for their personalized millstone.
Pringle is franchising cults with cult leaders running them. These imposters are hirelings and wolves in sheep’s clothing. Convicted criminal Kong Hee is a result of Pringle’s warped and twisted heresies.
And yet . . . C3 Pastors (past and present) remain and continue.
Some are disgruntled and begin “their own work” yet employ the very same tactics. They deceive the people, air-brush their history, create brand new Testimonies and prance about the stage like peacocks, filled with all the pomposity, haughtiness and arrogance imaginable. Their wives ‘play ladies’ and embellish themselves in finery (they believe they are worthy of it all!!).
They certainly have set themselves up financially for life. Residing imposing houses and enjoying lifestyles akin to Hollywood Movie Stars. And . . . the Congregations feed their weakness by digging deep into their hard-earned $$’s and they often applaud and shriek when these imposters and play-actors enter the stage and strut to the podium. I’m sure you will have noticed their costumes – fine, often custom made, trending with the world fashion and . . . the partners of the Pastors all dress alike. They too are in “Pentecostal Uniform” . . . it’s sad! Some look bizarre, especially those who think they are still 25 years of age!!!! They look so very silly. (I speak of both the men and the women).
Prior to their grand entry of course, is the hypnotic and SPELL-binding music and singing – Priming the minds and hearts of those who have rushed to church for the entertainment and jollity.
Gospel? Pardon me? What’s that? They don’t preach the Gospel of Repentance!!!! That’s not a “positive” message and the people won’t like it and for that reason their popularity will dwindle . . . the Tithe will be diminished and it will shrink and soon they won’t be able to take that trip to Britain or another trip to New Zealand or buy that new car.
I know of one Pastor and his wife, recently comfortably Retired, who have spent their lives conning, contriving, air-brushing their past lives and welcoming the RICH into their churches, ushering them to seats “up the front”, inviting them to dinner whilst determining the rest to be a nuisance and a bother. Never making themselves available to the not-so-well heeled.
I witnessed a Pastor fudging and bludging pretending to be working but in fact, was away elsewhere doing Lord only knows what!! These two husband and wife Leaders would determine what families SHOULD BE DOING, how they should spend their time and what Tithe they should bring. The attendance at all Services and a Home church was mandatory, no excuses. Extended family visits on a Sunday was frowned upon and I saw many families alienated from their parents and grand-parents because the Sunday baked dinners once shared and enjoyed with the entire family, had to be abandoned!!
To be a Member of that church, was to give your life to church life and the laws of the husband and wife Team. They dismissed the fact that people were seeking to give their lives to God and then to walk with Jesus by following His Word – not theirs!! These two were law-makers unto themselves. Being set free from the Law meant nothing to them. They majored on handing out a new set of laws and chains and bound the congregation to themselves. As they shook hands at the door their eyes were firmly fixed on the dollars in the pockets and handbags and they had the temerity to NOTE those who were absent!! Yes, sadly they did and an explanation was sought by way of a ‘phone call or a letter. Front up or explain why not!!! Bondage, bondage . . grown men nervously giving explanations to these two Leaders and offering apologies for daring to take his family on a picnic or to a special sporting fixture!!!
Some of you will be relating and will be au fait with what I’ve written. Don’t be bitter, pray. Leave your church if they are not preaching the Gospel of Jesus the Risen Christ. Test, test and test all things and re-locate yourself and your family if you are convicted. YOU are responsible for staying or moving onward.
I don’t for one minute believe you or I can change these Pastors and their wives. I’ve had a word here and there but sadly, they wouldn’t receive anything I brought. I finally, departed. Only God Himself can produce the regeneration and renaissance needed and in the end, God will be the final Judge.
I add as a WARNING. Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1.
We are charged with the testing and there is no excuse if we choose to remain seated and dismiss the Scriptures.
Jeremiah 14:14 – Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.
Well Kerri – something happened today . . . 23/11/2015
BREAKING NEWS . .
Royal Commission sex abuse inquiry censures Hillsong head Brian Houston.
Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston failed to tell police his father was a self-confessed child abuser and had a clear conflict of interest in dealing with the sex claims himself, an inquiry has found.
The high profile pastor gave evidence to the Royal Commission into the Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in October last year.
Brian Houston . . . did not refer the allegations of child sexual abuse against Mr Frank Houston to the police.
Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
In a report released on Monday, the commissioners found that Mr Houston and the church’s executive team failed the victim, known as AHA, who was molested by Frank Houston for a number of years from the age of seven.
When the allegations surfaced almost 30 years later in 1999, Mr Houston confronted his father, who admitted abusing AHA.
The commissioners found that Brian Houston, then national president of the Assemblies of God in Australia, did not inform authorities.
“We are satisfied that, in 1999 and 2000, Pastor Brian Houston and the National Executive of the Assemblies of God in Australia did not refer the allegations of child sexual abuse against Mr Frank Houston to the police,” the commissioners wrote in their report.
The commission heard that Mr Houston suspended his father from the church but it was decided at a meeting of senior Assemblies of God members the allegation would be kept confidential and Frank Houston would be allowed to quietly retire without the reason being made public.
“We consider that a conflict of interest first arose when Pastor Brian Houston decided to respond to the allegations by confronting his father while simultaneously maintaining his roles as National President (of the Assemblies of God in Australia) and Senior Pastor,” the commissioners found.
The report concluded that senior staff at the Assemblies of God failed to follow their own protocol regarding sexual abuse claims and did not support the victim.
“The commissioners express the view that the NSW executive failed to appoint a contact person for the complainant, interview the complainant, have the state or national executive interview the alleged perpetrator, or record any of the steps it took,” the commissioners wrote.
In his evidence, AHA said Frank Houston would come into his room “nearly every night of the week” and sexually molest him while staying with his family in 1970.
AHA told the commission the abuse had “destroyed his childhood”, leaving him “full of shame, fear and embarrassment”.
The commission heard AHA was offered $10,000 in exchange for his signature on a dirty napkin at a meeting with Frank Houston and Hillsong Church elder Nabi Saleh at Thornleigh McDonalds in 2000.
Hillsong Church released a statement saying Mr Houston acted appropriately.
“We are confident that the actions of Pastor Brian, from the moment he discovered the news about his father, were done with the best intentions towards the victim,” the statement.
(Monitors, this can be moved by you to elsewhere as well, but please, leave it here for Kerri Ferguson to read. Thank you so much).
