Like a fool, I gave to this so-called church for over 2 years, They seemed to be legitimate, I poured my heart and soul out to these people and sent them money on a regular basis. on 5-13-13 my sister had a major heart attack and had to be flown to a hospital an hour away, I decided to look online for a phone number (since there was no phone number in any of the letters I had received) for a prayer request, to my amazement I found these reports about the church (not even existing!) I couldn't believe what I was reading, (I called the chamber of commerce in tulsa) their # is 918-596-4805 and they verified what I had read online,) that the church did not exist (saint matthews church p o box 21056 tulsa Ok.) I was so hurt over this, I felt deceived and helpless. I gave them money I couldn't afford to send, and after reading all of the reports I could find, I decided to do something about this scam. I wrote my report on [redacted].com and I took it to the media's attention. I will not rest until this scam is stopped, they are taking advantage of people that are looking help like I was. I wish I had done a more thorough investigation! Before I committed myself to a church that does not exist, please do your homework before you commit yourself and dont be decieved like me.

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I got a letter in the mail from them once, it came with this poster of Jesus that was pretty cool, it was an optical illusion where if you stared into his closed eyes long enough, you would see his eyes open. Was cool.
but i mean, they were trying to make it sound like it was a miracle from God. You prayed so hard Jesus opened his eyes...!
talk about charlatans.
How did you get them to stop sending mailing?
they ask for a donation from for $31.00 for prayer for me. this is sad as I know even the man on the street can pray for me for free god hears them all. glad I was not so ill I let them make me PREY.
I am Elana Crump I got one for 24.00, 31.00 or 77.00. lol guess I don't need to email wow ok
THERE IS NOTHING AFTER DEATH...your god is only a filter to look at death through and if youre not afraid of death then you believe in god because you fear hell...you're in it to save your own [censor]...there is no god
I pray for you to be shown the light. I have had Supernatural encounters with God and He is real, very real and very alive. I pray He gives you a Saul experience! In Jesus Christ Name I pray Amen!
Why would He create us, so Intricate and complex and beautiful and just abandon us. God is love and I pray you experience the fullness of the Lord Jesus Christ!
i too was taken in by these fakers, and i hope to let others know about them so they don, t make the same mistakes i did. it is a shame in these times that people like them are still taking advantage of people who are only looking for a way to honor the lord. i hope something can be done to stop them once and for all! remember god sees all and they will have to answer for what they are doing to unsuspecting believers.
they work out from a lawfirm. jajajaja joyce lawfirm 515 S Main St Tulsa, OK 74103. this place is a lawfirm. i myself thought it was a real deal. but what was so evil about it they are living out of people that believe in god. its like making fun of them. wow . but funny thing about it . there is a st matthews church. but its not in tulsa. and that church is real. so they are stealing the name of that church.these lawyers are what they are . to make money.
I was a victim of the same scam until I looked deaper into it does anyone know how to quit getting mail from this fake place?
I keep receiving the same thing in the mail. I am disabled and can't afford to send money. But they keep sending them. I just rip them up and throw them away. I wish that the BBB would do something about it.
Yes they are the Devil. They got the last $51.00 D from me.but i look at it like this i pay their way to Hell.God is real.every one been taken by this keep believe in God not man.
If there is any doubt as to what is being said about this scam.. Look up Saint Matthews Church in OK and get the physical address. It 515 S Main Street. On a google search of this church, it shows a huge beautiful cathedral... but when you put that address in to google maps, it will show you the office building that it really is. Anyone can make a website and put any content that they want on it. God is not bound to mail in prayer requests and specific instructions on how and when to pray. Just pray and have faith that what you ask for you shall receive. If you feel as though you need a little muscle to back you up "where two or more are gathered in my name" contact your local church and ask them to pray with you. You may find a world of support that you didn't know you had.
Wow...This has definitely knocked the wind out of me. In the past before moving and loosing touch, I'd sent hundreds of dollars to this ministry. I believe in GOD not the Ministry and thought that I was obeying the instructions of God. God looks at your heart and your faithfulness. I pray that all of us that have been scammed by this false prophet will get our JUST REWARD. Proverbs 13:22 says "A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just." We will reap what we sowed and we sowed from our hearts. Galatians 6:7 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. That being said, they will REAP WHAT THEY SOWED AS WELL.
Amen
Has a complaint been filed with the postal office for wire and mail fraud?
I would think that the postal system could do something about this.
We received the same letter and there were tale-tale signs that jumped out at me which lead me to goggle them.
I am, fortunately, aware of these types of scams. Never have sent money; I'm sorry for those who have.
I am a legitimate prayer intercessor and I've NEVER asked for money or any compensation to pray for someone. I have seen miracles happen as a result of faith and prayer, so I know prayer works.
I believe in seeding into ministries but I want to know where my money goes and how much is administrative costs vs funds directed toward the cause.
This "firm" has found a means of collecting tax free money. Legitimate non profits suffer as a result of these type of carpetbaggers. I pray they get what they deserve and they are paraded in HANDCUFFS on FOX, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC and all the major networks for all of America to see.
Everyone should mail them their bills and see if they pay any.
Everyone send them all of your bills and see if they pay any.
Wow! So disappointed 😞 I been sending money in for over 5 years, never once have I researched them. I live in a rural area was home bound and their letters ministered to me. I didn't sow seeds for prayers but was sowing seeds for them to continue the mail ministry I figured the letters and booklets must cost a fortune. I should have looked into this sooner, thank God I wasn't put into a financial burden but I have sent thousands. Vengeance is mine says the Lord..JUDGMENT TIME!
I just said this. About the letters costing. However all they say is that they pray for you. And that’s all I ask for I’m not looking for crazy blessings bc what God has for me will be for me. I’m lost for words God bless you hope all is well
Wow,
I to sometimes would send a couple of dollars, the most was 5 or 10, lord knows I didnt have it. after researching and reading all of us that were scammed, I remember something that I was told, "what the devil meant for evil,"god turned it around for our good. the scammers will get 100 fold what we sacrifice to give. all be blessed.
I sent them a $1000 check.. and hundreds of dollars in total (that I didn't have) altogether. I REALLY believed they were legit. My feelings are so hurt. 😞 I feel incredibly dumb.
I too have been scammed . Sending money for years. I have now started my own non-profit in which awakens holy lifestyles and actually give back to people all over the world who needs it. And yes by Holy Lifestyle we Pray! Prayer is sacred, holy, and does work. I haven’t funny finished all the paper work to finalize but when I do I would like you good people of faith to be avenged in Jesus name through prayer! Romans 12 :19 Do not take revenge my dear friends but leave room for Gods wrath: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay” if you would like to hear more about my nonprofit please contact me @womenofwingswow@gmail.com 🙏
Omg! It’s so crazy how I too was a victim of this stupid [censored] scam . For YEARS OUR HOUSE HAS BEEN GETTING MAIL FEOM THIS CHURCH ITS ALMOST LIKE SOME VOODOO [censored] GOING ON PLEASE PEOPLE GOD WOULD NOT WANT YOU TO SEND MONEY OR ANY INFO TO ANYONE GOD DOESNT WANT U TO DO THAT THATS NOT HOW BLESSINGS WORK . I decided to open the mail one day and seen something about a rug with Jesus on it saying all these steps I had to do and if didn’t do it then all these things were going to happen . I ALMOST FELL FOR IT AND REALLY LOOKED INTO THE RUG WITH MY EYES . I’m from the law and fraud will be stopped . This fake [censored] church has us [censored]ed up , god would never ask you for 1,000 like come on now , reading these comments makes me mad at how we have been played
We all need to band together and stop this. I've tried to get off there mailing list but somehow the letters keep coming. I was going to put on the out side of envelope return to sender. No longer lives here. Just thought about it. Then the post office won't send any other mail. Just got another thought. Send to the attorney general by physically taking to the post office and telling them this is fraud. I don't want these mailings anymore. Im going to the post office as this seems more logical.
I'm very disappointed with this church scam.20 year's of giving money I really didn't have. Over a couple thousand dollars. Today I received a northern letter. And I'm in hard ship trying to find a new place to live and can't get a mortgage. I thought this is going to be the letter. I than thought look up the church OMG someone is stealing millions from people. They should be a shamed of them self. Probably sitting in a beautiful house with everything they need. Lord I'm praying I can find help in financial help hi
I received one of those letters. I opened it, I read it and it had one of those prayers rug in it it says to go to quiet room look at it for awhile then lay over your knees and pray also put in the bible on Philippians 4:19 until the next morning. I did all the instructions. The next morning I put the prayer rug back into the envelope with a donation. I put it in the mail box. I came back into the house. All of a sudden I wasn't feeling right about it. Something like a voice told me to do a research on this church, so I Google it. The first thing I saw when I goggle it was that this church is a big time scam. I came across so many testimonials about people was being scammed by this fake church that doesn't exist at that moment I stopped reading it and jumped up and ran to my mailbox and got the letter. I felt relief when got it before the mail carrier came. I know now that I will never do this again. It was strange from the start that it only had my address and not my name only address it to a friend. I should have known better. So be careful how you open letters like that because it will also make you respond to it. I was lucky. Thank God for protecting me.
I have been giving to this church for years until I decided to Investigate wear is my money going I wanted to visit this church for pray and to find out it was a scam I was so hurt I will give to them money I had to buy stuff for my kids and myself and do without because I thought it was going to good use I don’t not work for much money but I will make the sacrifices to give to this church
Thank you so much. I've hit hard times and I got a letter the other day. Quoting scripture that I pray almost daily. For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. I looked on line because they omitted and not to harm you. I was real close to sending them money again. I haven't for quit awhile. I need to move out of my husband's house it's been stressful to say the least. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I had a gut feeling and you reaffirmed it. I how ever I hard time throwing theses away. As I feel like I'm throwing away. Jesus.
