Shut Down Fraudulent Fundraising by Kingdom of God Global Church

Recent signers:
Eyerusalem Menberu and 10 others have signed recently.

The Issue

The Kingdom of God Global Church is facing serious federal charges: forcing followers into unpaid labor, laundering tens of millions of dollars, and psychologically coercing vulnerable people into soliciting nonstop donations through fear, shame, and spiritual manipulation.

Despite this, the church's 24-hour miracle prayer line is still active — and their social media network remains untouched. Dozens of Kingdom of God-affiliated accounts across Meta, YouTube, and TikTok are still promoting fake testimonies and miracle claims to solicit money. Prosecutors allege that this operation has never been transparent about its finances, and that donor funds have been spent on luxury mansions, designer goods, and fleets of Mercedes sedans — not the humanitarian work they claimed to support.

These are not isolated missteps. This is a pattern of religious fraud and financial abuse that has spanned years and crossed state lines. Many of those answering the phones or posting online weren’t volunteers — they were allegedly subjected to food deprivation, sleep deprivation, and threats of homelessness if they didn’t meet daily donation quotas. That is not charity. That is exploitation.

We are calling on two immediate actions:

  • Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services must revoke the Kingdom of God Global Church’s license to solicit charitable donations in the state of Florida and launch a full financial audit of their activities.
  • Meta, YouTube, and TikTok must investigate and remove all Kingdom of God–affiliated accounts engaged in deceptive fundraising or promoting false medical claims and coercive recruitment tactics.

Donors deserve truth. Survivors deserve justice. And online platforms have a duty to stop being complicit in religious scams that profit off suffering. We urge officials and companies to act now — before more people are manipulated and defrauded in the name of faith.
