Is anyone aware of an effort to free slaves in Pakistan?Had a lady call me this am and ask for information.She said her pastor (United Congregational Holiness) was working with a Church of God pastor to free slaves in Pakistan.The deal is if you send $280.00 one slave will be freed and receive a goat.Anyone aware of this?Is this legit?I have never heard of this before________________Charles A.

Sounds very suspicious to me, too.If this is an area of missions interest for you, you could ask for a reference to the Church of God pastor and verify his credentials — however, unfortunately, if he holds valid credentials that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not a scam. You could also ask for information about the organization that handles the money and verify their 501(c)3 status and look them up on the charity watch websites.
The lady who called lives in another city.I have known her family for many years.She is sharp as a tack as we say here in NGA.She asked me to find out what I could.A google search turned up nothing________________Charles A. HutchinsSenior Pastor SPWCCongregational Church of Godwww.spwc.church
I’ve only found two websites for United Congregational Holiness churches and they were both listed as businesses. I don’t think I would trust it. Sounds like a scam________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
The United Congregational Holiness Church is a valid, yet small offshoot of the Congregational Holiness Church, headquartered in Griffin, GA.The Sister who called is a member of a UCHC Church.Her main concern was paying ransom, which is also my concern________________Charles A.

It’s almost certainly a scam. If there’s not a credible 501(c)3 involved that can be researched and validated, it should be a burning bright red flag.
