I would liker to offer up a prayer for Dalton Thomas. Pray for his redemption, healing and family. Maranatha.

Joel, I am thankful you are leading in this time of pain for the organization. May God strengthen, bless, and comfort you, your family, and the entire FAI ministry.

[RavenCreekCharms]

We as God's children fail, but God's work must not. Carry on soldiers in Christ! God Bless you and prayers for all! 🙏✝

As I said when this first came out,

Dalton is still a brother. Our heart weeps for him, and we understand that discipline is part of our walk with the Lord, and we pray that in this season, Dalton will learn and grow from this, and that he will know the Lord in new ways after this.

We thank you Joel for carrying this burden and continuing to be a light in the darkness of this time.

My giving is continuing, as I believe strongly and firmly in what FAI does, and in those involved... God is using each of you for such a time as this, and we look forward to the new teachings, films and all that you will be doing in the days ahead and up to the tribulation and His triumphant return.

God bless each of you richly, have a blessed and abundant Christmas and Maranatha until He returns.

There's a special place in my heart for Dalton, my brother in Messiah. He's been a blessing in my life. God used him to encourage and challenge me during a difficult time. He's a great teacher, I will miss him. Thank you FAI, thank you Joel you have also been a blessing in my life. My heart is sad...God bless everyone. ❤

Thank you, Joel. FAI has shown great transparency and integrity. We appreciate this very much. May God continue to bless you and FAI ministries.

Dalton's teaching has been a tremendous blessing to me and my heart is extremely sad at this turn of events. God doesn't write people off and neither should we. He is a God of forgiveness, restoration and reconciliation and we all need His mercy. All we can do is pray, pray and pray some more.

[choirmom]

We will be in prayer for all of the FAI group...the board, Dalton and his family. Lord cover, protect, heal and redeem. We pray in the name of Jesus.

[arliegage]

Never forget...we are all sinners Saved by Grace! We are forgiven for sins we commit even after being saved if we repent, but we never will be perfected and truly justified til we leave this life. Maranatha🎉

Prayers for Dalton and his family. Prayers for the FAI family.

[mwsince]

I intend on continuing my support for God’s work here and praying for everyone in this ministry. Thank you all for what you do

[alisonmarsella]

Thank you Joel for your openness. I want to also thank you for all your work. I live in Scotland and my husband and I follow all your teachings and I’m rereading your books. You are such a blessing to us and you’ve changed my walk with the Lord. That said, so has Dalton. I absolutely love his teaching and I am gutted for him, his family and you all. I have prayed for him everyday since you released the news. I am so glad you still call him your friend. Dalton brought me to understand the real Jesus through his passionate teaching and his ‘unto death’ stance challenged me hugely. I cannot accept that a man whose knowledge of the Lord, whose understanding of the times we are living in would walk away for good because I know he knows the truth and I pray every day for him to repent. Let’s face it we are all pretty much capable of anything given an imperfect storm of circumstances and we all need His grace, His mercy and His power to help us overcome the ‘drug of our choice’ whatever that sin might look like for us individually. If you are still in contact with Dalton please tell him that he is loved greatly, not only by God, but by the people he has blessed. I will continue to pray for you all everyday until God shows me otherwise. Anyway, God bless you and your family this Christmas and I hope your wife is feeling better. And thank you for your brave and tireless work, it is greatly appreciated.

[ArleneAdkinsZell]

Prayers for FAI and the entire situation.

[NowLetsBeHonest]

Maranatha. Thank you. Our prayers are with you and the entire organization!!!

[RBdisciplek]

I am so sorry that this has happened and FAI and all involved including Dalton will be henceforth prayed for. God Bless you all.

[timjames]

Grace and Peace to the whole FAI family, especially to the missionaries on ground in challenging locations throughout the Middle East. Merry Christmas and asking the Lord for a blessed and fruitful 2024. Amen.

Thank you for this, FAI has shown great transparency and integrity. My prayers are with you all. As well as Dalton and his family. Merry Christmas and May The Lord bless you and strengthen you.

[Julie-qktp]

Your honesty is very important. We cannot condemn Dalton as we all have ugly fleshly desires.
GO IN CHRIST EVERY DAY 🤍🤍🤍

Thank you all for staying the course and being faithful to your king no matter what. May the Lord pour out his blessing upon you and lift you up as you lay your lives down before him.
