To say that Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. is a kind, compassionate, and honest individual would be quite an understatement. He is, in my opinion, the most Godly and God fearing man I have ever had the distinct honor and privilege of knowing. Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. has more zeal and perseverance than anyone I’ve ever known. He is truly a man of impeccable character.
I first became acquainted with Charlie (I will from now on refer to Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. as “Charlie” since I consider him a close friend.) in early 1999 as a business associate. I established
I contacted Charlie by phone and discovered he owned a business known as Sonship Industries, Inc., which distributed an array of revolutionary, energy saving, and home improvement products. He was also involved in an electricity production project. All of this was very intriguing to me. After many subsequent conversations, I made the decision to become an independent contractor of Sonship Industries, Inc., happily offering a very extensive and diverse product line. Thus began a long and rewarding business relationship with Charlie and Sonship Industries, Inc., which started in April of 1999. Over the following months and years, a very strong bond of trust developed between us. I must say, I was always able to count on him to come through with every agreement, deliver on time every product (as far as it was in his power to do so), be punctual with every meeting, provide thorough and accurate documentation, and always follow through with everything I requested of him. I entrusted him with large sums of money and visa-versa. He was always honest and above boards with all his business dealings.
As time went on, I was able to know Charlie on a more personal level. We talked about our families, hobbies, and aspirations and concluded we had other mutual interests; that being ministry and humanitarian endeavors around the world. By the end of the year 2000, my wife and I established an international ministry called, “Christian Discipleship International”, now know as “LIFE Aid Foundation”. In 2007, we also began “Freedom’s Hope Ministry, Inc.” Both organizations are nondenominational ministries committed to bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations; offering humanitarian aid, educational programs, and other helps in over thirty countries worldwide.
My good friend, Charlie, has given us much support with the above ministries, in the area of guidance and counsel; this derived from his vast knowledge, education, and expertise. He truly is a man of integrity and impeccable character.
Why would I take the time and effort to write and post the above; not to mention divulging personal information about myself? I did it because Charlie would do it for me. You see, Charlie has been unfairly, maliciously maligned and quite frankly demonized by individuals on the internet. These people relentlessly spew out slanderous accusations having to do with some sort of alleged insurance fraud. I assure you that Mr. Charles A. Spradlin, Sr., has never been involved in anything illegal, unethical, or dishonest of any kind. These allegations babble on about a life insurance program by the name of “Freedom 7” ( which these people know nothing about, I might add). I am not going to elaborate here in detail about that wonderful program. But, suffice it to say, the “Freedom 7” program was the most cleverly conceived and mutually beneficial life insurance plan I have ever come across in my entire life.
Several years ago, after a thorough investigation, my wife and I decided to enroll in the “Freedom 7” program. We both received thorough physicals (one hour and a half each) at NO expense to us, and in the comfort of our own home. One of the best aspects of the plan was NO out of pocket expense of ANY kind on our part, not even the premiums, which were paid by a 3rd party. This may sound too good to be true, but in fact, it was a reality. Right up until the time it was forced out of existence by big money making interests (insurance industry at large), who felt they were going to lose some of their great wealth by policy holders that would drop their policies and enroll in “Freedom 7”. The little guy never seems to have a chance when up against “Big Industry”. There are perhaps hundreds of examples of this.
When “Freedom 7” ended NO ONE lost a dime because NO ONE had to pay anything. If there’s NO injured party, then there can NOT be the existence of any kind of scam or “fraud” as they put it.
And another thing, these lying, malicious people allege that Mr. Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. was the originator of the “Freedom 7” plan, yet in fact, his involvement was limited to sharing this great plan with friends and acquaintances; enrolling himself and his immediate family. Not that there was anything wrong with formulating such a plan; I wish I was just as intelligent as those individuals, which by the way, were professionals, experts in the field of life insurance policies and the law pertaining to it.

The bottom line is; Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. is a wonderful , Godly man. I feel most honored and privileged to know him personally. I see him as a close friend and a brother.
May God bless you, Charlie!!!

ReplyDeleteTo Whom It May Concern,
My wife and I have been involved in business dealings with Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. for around four years now. We have found him to be a man of integrity in every way.
He desires to help those less fortunate than him, have a better quality of life.
Sincerely,
Gary and Karen Bentley
I have known Charles Spradlin for over seven years. Charles is not the man that he is currently getting the rap for. Charles is not the man that is running around the world defrauding people and institutions. Charles Spradlin IS a hard working man that focuses on his family, his Church family, and his duty for the Lord in this world-- "Which is to help the needy, set the captives free, and to tell the truth at all costs."
ReplyDeleteCharles is a man of integrity and for his attempts to help people he has been slandered and lied about, whether their needs are honorable or not, he does suffer much to help all those that say they are in need.
Through his efforts, along with those of The China Foundation and the Exousia Foundation, Ltd. in helping the needy in Russia and the Russian Federation States in the early 1990s, was successful and is still remembered and bearing fruit to this day. His legacy is to foil the plans of some that prefer to captivate and destroy the needy.
Charles is guilty of caring, sharing, loving and helping those in need that he can and he has exposed the lies that others over time and held them responsible. He is nothing more than a man trying to do YHVH's (God's) will on this earth under the orders of Y'shua, the real Messiah, and I believe he is led of the One and Only Holy Spirit. I have known this man for the last 2 years very well and very privately. Charles is NOT a crook and NOT a con and anyone who says he is will someday be made ashamed.
Please accept my testimony of Charles Spradlin Sr. as faithful and true.
Best Regards to All,
Trent Sailor
To Whom It May Concern:
ReplyDeleteI'm responding to the attacks on Charles A. Spradlin, Sr., Robert E. Palm, and Paul H. Chappell. Though I personally have never met them, I know people who have. The highest regards for these gentlemen are expressed. From what I have learned on my own about the work they are doing, I honestly feel it is for the betterment of all mankind that their work continues. What God means for good, man tries to destroy. Just as Moses had his arms held high, my wife and myself will hold up the arms of the before mentioned gentlemen with our prayers.

To those who love truth,
ReplyDeletePaul H. Chappell (Attorney-at-Law) is a man of God. He has helped so many ministries get their starts and I personally served with him on a non-profit incorporated ministry board.
His heart is genuine and his motives are pure. Of course only God understands the thoughts and intents of the heart, but men can look at the results to discern the truth about Paul H. Chappell. Jesus said we would know them by their fruit and his fruit is good and it has remained good.
I am saddened by the number of people who write such slander and lies against a wonderful, kind, gentle and loving man such as Paul H. Chappell.
I could write much more, because I am a first hand witness of Paul's generosity. He is able to see through fake Christianity and religion. He has advised many ministers over the years, some listened and prospered in the things of God, but others who would not take his advice, and it was ultimately to their own hurt and even destruction. I will not give examples to protect the privacy of those who didn't listen to his advice and even those who did.
Paul has great rewards in heaven because of his love for the poor and helpless, his help to ministers, ministries and foundations, and for the great persecution he has endured with joy working for The China Foundation, the Exousia Foundation, Ltd and others of like precious faith. For Paul H. Chappell has faith in his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Word of God as written in 2 Corinthians 4:7-10 and I quote:
2 Corinthians 4:7-10 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. [8] We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; [9] Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; [10] Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.”
This is who the real Paul H. Chappell I personally know, as written above and that is the TRUTH for those who love the truth.
Sincerely,
Robert Hrabak (Lieutenant Colonel USAF - Retired)
To those who desire truth:
ReplyDeleteCharles A. Spradlin, Sr. is a man of God. I believe that after knowing Charles for 10 years, I know his heart.
Charles' heart is to help people. He is not the counterfeit, he is the real deal.
Many people owe their lives to this man's faith, diligence, and persistence. He has been attacked, maligned, and people have lied about his character, his actions, and his intentions.
His heart is to help people, proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to help missionaries and ministers, ministries, and businesses get the funds and resources to those who need them.
As I understand it, he once gave away everything that he owned to help the poor and at that time I believe he was a bonafide millionaire. By Christ Jesus being in Charles and through Jesus Christ’s name Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. was able to raise his own son from the dead, as recorded in the records in his own home town, and the testimony of his own son and multiple church members. He listened to God and went to the Soviet Union to help feed the starving people there, without a dollar and he and those of faith with him accomplished this in the name of the Lord.
Charles is real. He is not fake, not counterfeit, and a man of integrity. He is a man of faith, he is a positive thinker, and his only fault is trusting people who seemed sincere but were wolves in sheep’s clothing. He has always disassociated himself from those who became crooked.
I personally have seen people saved, miraculously healed, and filled with the Spirit under his ministry. I realize that just because God uses someone doesn't mean they are perfect or can't be a deceiver. But Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. is not a deceiver.
Unfortunately I know of some who believe the lies and slander written about Charles and his motives. Some of their lives and faith have been ship wrecked; others not. The truth will always outlast a lie. Truth never fails. The truth will win and Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. reputation of integrity will be restored even as Job's was.
It is time for the truth to come out.
Sincerely,
Robert Hrabak (Lieutenant Colonel USAF - Retired)

ReplyDeleteMan of Integrity
I have known Charles Spradlin Sr. for 20 years. Even though we live several hundred miles apart I have visited his home twice and he has visited with me one time. We have conversed over the telephone at least once a week for twenty years, that thousands of minutes via phone. You get to know a person very well during this time. He is a solid reputable man of strong convictions to do the right thing every time.
Several years ago my wife and I were introduced to the Freedom 7 program. Ed young was the lead person in this introduction. We received several life insurance policies and did not pay one dollar for these policies. There were no misrepresentations by any party and no one lost any money. I would trust Charles Spradlin Sr. with all that I own as I have absolute confidence in him.

ReplyDeleteAbout Robert E. Palm
He is an example of Jesus Christ in the earth today: That is what this man Robert E. Palm is and, just like Jesus, many people have spoken badly about him while some speak good. Here are the facts from one who has known him personally since 1991. He has always been a kind, gentle, caring, holy and meek man. He has always put the needs of others first before his own and in many cases – again, as Jesus did – before his own family’s needs. He just cannot say no to one in need if he has any way to help. He would give the shirt off of his back to anyone and probably has; these and other factual statements are from an eyewitness, which is me and anyone else that truly ever knew Robert E. Palm.
In 1992, Robert E. Palm helped to feed nations of people who were literally starving to death. He spent hundreds of millions of dollars of foundation money to help them, but the news media mocked him, they spoke evil of him and of those full of faith who worked alongside of him to accomplish these great things in the earth for the Lord. Many abandoned him because of the vicious attacks and the incredible lies spoken against him by the media, therefore people who never truly knew him but were with him lost their courage and faith and went their own ways. Only a few remain until this day.
Robert E. Palm feeds the hungry and helps all those in need that he can even today. Every week for many years now Robert has helped to cook large, healthy and delicious free meals for hundreds of street people who, otherwise, would have nothing to eat most of the time. He does so with the help of a few faithful helpers inside a rented city community building they call their church. These homeless, hungry people are in most cases sickly and have no place to live, so he takes them in and feeds them a hot wholesome meal, showing and teaching them about the love of Jesus Christ, and quoting from the Word of God to each of them all as they pass by to fill their plates. Later on, Robert prays for them, lays hands on those who are sick (most all are healed), and then blesses them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ as they go their way. Some come back week after week, but others are never heard of again; only God knows what happens to those who are unable to return. Prayerfully, they have new life! But for sure, they all learned, while there, what the love of Jesus Christ is really all about, which is helping others in need, and many accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior when they come. Most will probably end up in heaven at the end of their lives because of the love Robert E. Palm and others in the church showed these otherwise unwanted people who were poor, homeless, unshaved, unwashed and, in many cases, helpless.
The night before these hundreds of meals have to be prepared, Mr. Palm and a few others will go all around town buying food, receiving food offerings, and physically hauling these many ingredients necessary back to his home and/or the church in order to prepare for the next day. Early the next morning he/they begin the long day’s process of preparing the ingredients – peeling the potatoes, carrots, onions; baking the many roasts, chickens, turkeys, or fish; and baking the pies in order to feed between 150 to 200+ people without receiving a dime for his/their services, except for a thank you sir, from time to time.
It happened just like God said in Isaiah 61:1; Jesus Christ, the Messiah, came, He Who was anointed with the Holy Spirit and, as Jesus said, He would also come upon all true followers of Him and those things Jesus did all true believers would do also. Therefore, the Spirit of the Lord God is upon Robert E. Palm and all the other saints that work closely with him at the church and throughout the world, who work with the Exousia Foundation, Ltd., The China Foundations and other ministries around the earth; because the Lord hath anointed him/them to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent him/them to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; this is who Robert E. Palm is and those who work with him throughout the earth to do good. They are true followers of Jesus Christ and they shall all inherit the earth and the Kingdom of Heaven, too, in the end saith the Lord, if they remain steadfast and faithful until the end.
If only the governments, the Federal Reserve, the nations’ treasuries, banks, and all central banks would just view the foundation’s Global Master Cash and CHIPS Accounts, confirm the foundations’ money is still in the foundation accounts, and write a letter stating these facts, they are ready to proceed with the draw downs of Cash Funds upon final permission from the foundations. It would then be given to them, to download the funds and, because of the Cash Fund being drawn down, the economic crises of the United States and the world could be averted and halted altogether, then the foundations and thousands of ministries and millions of their parishioners worldwide could oversee the funding of the thousands of economic and humanitarian development projects, employing tens of millions of people with good paying jobs in every nation, city, town, and village throughout the world. These projects are all now literally ready to be funded from all of The China Foundation’s and Exousia Foundation’s Global Master Cash and CHIPS Accounts just as the LORD GOD wants them funded in Deuteronomy 8:18, so the world can become a much better place to live. But the powers-that-be have prevented this from taking place up until now; that is, because now, we and all who have faith in Christ Jesus and read this letter, are going to pray that the strongholds against us and our foundations shall fall down flat into the ground then we will walk in and take back what belongs to us the Body of Christ in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
So pray for and with us and do not stop praying for us until the foundations’ wealth has been released to do good in the earth, to help bail out America and the rest of the nations of the world and until we’ve had total victory over all of God’s enemies, Amen.
REMEMBER THESE SCRIPTURES WELL
Deuteronomy 8:18-20 “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. [19] And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. [20] As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the Lord your God.”
James 5:1-8 “Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. [2] Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. [3] Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. [4] Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. [5] Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. [6] Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. [7] Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. [8] Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.”
1 Peter 4:1 “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;”
Sincerely yours in Christ Jesus,

ReplyDeleteI have known Charles Spradlin since the Summer of 1994. I met him & a friend of his at a McDonald's in Nashville, and we have been friends ever since. I trust him as I've never trusted anyone in my life. He is the most godly man I've ever met, and I love his wife, Jody, and their "8 is enough" as well. In 15 years, I haven't had the privilege of speaking to Charlie as often as you have - because I respect how busy he is - but I would love to. He is the first person I have ever met who makes you feel good EVERY time you talk to him. There were times I called to encourage HIM, & he wound up encouraging ME. My wife & I love him and would do anything for him. I wish I could do more for him and his family. I have never once had any reason to question his integrity or faith. He is a true apostle! I am a better man because I've known him, and I thank God that He brought this awesome man and his family into our life!

The Exousia Foundation, Ltd.
Attn: Mr. Charles A. Spradlin, Sr., and Mr. Robert E. Palm
Dear Charles and Bob and anyone else that has ears to hear:
I am writing to address the negative websites that have been circulating on the internet regarding Mr. Charles A. Spradlin, Sr., and Mr. Robert E. Palm of The China Foundation and the Exousia Foundation, Ltd. The absurdity of these negative comments written about you and the foundations are ridiculous!
I have known you for many, many years now; you are nothing like they have spoken of you in these crazy, negative websites. Not only have I known your integrity in doing business for years now, in ministry works as well, but also I have been praying for you and with you regarding the foundations work in the earth. We prayed what great things it would mean for the world, for the United States of America’s economy and for all the nations economies in the earth.
If people only knew what good it would do for all humanity when you and your foundations succeed with your mission to fund the thousands of economic and humanitarian development projects worldwide that you have planned, it would create tens of million of good paying jobs in the U.S.A. and around the world almost overnight. Seriously, if they really knew who you people are they would never touch you or speak evil of you and your foundations again.
Furthermore, when I think of everything else you have planned for the body of Christ and those within the body who have financial needs, their debts would be canceled, and then those Christians who are called to minister to the needs of the poor, hungry and homeless worldwide would have all those monetary needs met too no matter what the cost. So, finally the finances required to do the Lord’s good works in the earth would be funded without limits! If people only knew the truth about who you and your foundations really are, I’d think they would be afraid to ever say another negative thing about you again for fear of God’s wrath that would surely come against them in time. It is beyond my comprehension that anyone would believe these ridiculous attacks against you that these cowardly people (who remains anonymous in most all cases) have so boldly made! I have always found you to be a very intelligent, warm, and compassionate man who is meticulous in your business endeavors!
By the way, I too was told about the Freedom 7 Insurance Program and without hesitation I applied for the benefits after studying the facts about it. My father was in the insurance business for around thirty years and there was absolutely nothing that I saw that would have indicated that something related to fraudulent activity was ever involved. I was never asked to pay any monies to anyone nor sign any personal properties over in order to receive benefits. In other words, nothing has ever been required of me to participate in the program, or to do anything else but bless my family and whatever ministry I choose to give a tithe to after I passed on to be with the Lord.
I am appalled that these people have referenced your good names, the foundations names and the rest of us involved as “fraudsters”! Rather a ridiculous statement that would lead some folks to believe that we were all uneducated and ignorant, falling for anything unsavory that anyone would present as long as we benefited from it! The godly people you have surrounded yourself with over the years, like myself, are to the contrary. We are college educated people with many degrees and we all have good business track records and we have common sense too. In my case, I came from one of Tennessee’s most reputable community serviceable families and I resent these false accusations against you, myself and others I know personally that they refer to.
I find that when someone wants to assassinate the character of another so boldly as written in these unfounded internet attacks against you and the foundations they are obviously deeply envious as to what the Lord God has entrusted you with and all the other Directors of the foundations as well.
These character assassins and their misinformed information specialists probably could never stand any close scrutiny themselves and need to beware lest they get caught in their own trap. Nevertheless, all we can do is as our Lord commanded us to do, “pray for your enemies and bless those that curse you!”
Sincerely,

ReplyDelete“A NOBLE MAN MAKES NOBLE PLANS AND BY NOBLE DEEDS HE STANDS,” is a quote that describes Charles A. Spradlin Sr. As with men of truly great character and integrity, there are always those who would seek to demean their character and attack their integrity. These attacks have their origins in those who would blatantly lie about others and attempt to profit from those lies. These same people hide behind their scurrilous attacks and even stoop to slander the children of great men. Such have been some of the attacks faced by Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. and thereby his family.
Charles has been married to his wonderful wife for almost four decades. All of his children are great examples of outstanding citizens. Let me share just two examples of the accomplishments of the Spradlin children who were all home schooled from a young age. One is among the most talented young artists in America. Another is graduating with highest honors from one of the most prestigious engineering universities in the nation.
Superlatives are essential to describe Charles A. Spradlin Sr. He has been a true and faithful friend of mine and my family for 16 years. He is an encourager, a man of great faith, and a man who carries a great heart for our nation and the world.

I have known Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. for over 20 years. Anyone who knows Mr. Spradlin well will certainly agree that he has always and continues to live his life and treat others with the highest ethical and moral standards. I have never known Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. to be too busy to pray with someone or help someone in need. He's a kindly, gentle-spirited man.
ReplyDeleteI also was involved in the Freedom 7 Program. When I initially heard about it from someone, I asked Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. about the program. He simply advised me to get in touch with the insurance agent and the agent would explain the details. For him to be accused of any wrong doing is absolutely malicious and utterly reprehensible. Further, there was never one cent that changed hands. No money was ever involved in the program. I find it hard to believe that anyone could even conjure up a charge of fraud on the part of Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. The whole idea of this is ridiculous.
I have the utmost admiration and respect for Mr. Spradlin and his entire family. I have found him to be completely and totally trustworthy and as good a friend as one could ask for.

To whom it may concern,
ReplyDeleteIt is a tremendous honor and privilege to know Charles A. Spradlin, Sr., better known by those who know and love him as just "Charlie". I first met Charlie at a conference some 11 or 12 years ago, and we have been friends ever since. My wife, Carol, also knows Charlie, and we both have the utmost appreciation and respect for him. Charlie is a giant among men, in my opinion, but a humbler and meeker man you would have to search long and hard to find. He is a man of impeccable integrity, and is absolutely trustworthy. I would trust him with not only my own life, but also that of my family. To say he is a stalwart man of God is an understatement. Charlie knows precisely Whose he is, who he is, and what he's about. Five minutes with Charlie is all it takes to understand that he is totally committed to the service of mankind and the building of the Kingdom of Heaven to the glory of God the Father. This, of course, may prove to be very unsettling to those who serve a different agenda and a different god, so it is no small wonder that there are those who would seek to malign Charlie, his work, his ministries, and those he associates with. I only pray that these individuals might come to a knowledge of the Truth, and a saving relationship with the Lord of Glory, as I know this, too, is Charlie's desire for them. I am a better man for my relationship with Charlie. I treasure his friendship and fellowship, greatly admire his godly wisdom and business acumen, and always appreciate his counsel as a man of God and brother in the Lord.
Sincerely,
Richard Franz
People who know they can't win on an issue, often resort to destroying the character of their adversary, impugn the object of their indignation with any accusations they can hold on to. Time and again character assassination is a potent form of pernicious culture of impunity in an attempt to enforced that which is selfish, curtail the truth and restrain what is good, to uphold the dominion of a self serving interest. A man’s character is being assassinated if the part he is playing doesn’t have any meaning in the script of the perpetrators. Character assassination is done by inept people who know that they are losing the battle, making the loudest noise to disrupt and confuse right thinking minds. Therefore, it is an ammunition for the vilified’s gun! Jesus Christ was not exempted from such a diabolical scheme. While those who say all sort of negative information about Him, may have thought that they have successfully assassinated the character of a good and honest man, they indeed exposed their rigidity and laid bare their disrespect for righteousness, holiness and truth. People who love righteousness, honesty and truth will not listen to hearsay and be convinced. For as long that we have a comfortable communion with God, our fellowship with him is more important than our friendship with others.
ReplyDeleteI decided to contribute a piece of my mind after knowing that Mr. Charles Spradlin Sr’s reputation and good name is put to the severe test. I have no acquaintance with Mr. Spradlin Sr, but surely I have information regarding Life Aid Foundation which is to be funded by Exousia Foundation headed by Mr. Spradlin Sr. Life Aid foundation is headed by Bro. Mike and Londa Furman. I am in constant communication with them since March 2006. I represent them here in the Philippines. All throughout these years what Life Aid Foundation have freely received, were freely given to those in need. This loving-giving attitude is an active demonstration of God’s grace working and operating through the organization, an increasing manifestation of the Godly Spirit hovering, working in each and everyone connected with it. Brother Mike and Sister Londa are in close contact with Mr. Charles Spradlin Sr. I am convinced that they shared the mutual Godly desire and purpose in the ministry which was entrusted to them individually. My involvement in Life Aid Foundation made me believe that they have a common ground in righteousness, holiness and truth in serving the Almighty and only God. ( Amos 3:3) Can the two walk together, except they be agreed? Can they work effectively together if they were not joined by the same Spirit? Scripturally speaking, where there is no friendship by the same Spirit, there can be no fellowship. Unless they have the same motivation in serving the Lord, they cannot be one. I sense that they have a comfortable communion with each other. I believe that their comfortable association is under God.

"I have known Charles A. Spradlin Sr. for over five years. During that time, I have found him to be a man of both integrity and compassion. He is ultra-hard working, but willing to take time out of his schedule to help others. He has a strong Christian faith and tries diligently to integrate fully the spiritual and business aspects of his life.
Throughout the time that I have known Charles A. Spradlin Sr., he has had a consuming passion to find a means of utilizing the assets of The China Foundation for the benefit of humanitarian endeavors around the world. Given the structure and discreet nature of the China Foundation's assets, it is difficult to discern their workings unless one has been involved at a senior level in a major international or central bank.
Given that Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. has previously succeeded in being able to use the assets of the China Foundation for humanitarian purposes, I am confident he will succeed again. I will carry on praying for Charles, that God will provide Exousia Foundation with access to the funds at the most appropriate time and that he will continue to endow Exousia Foundation with quality people to administer the monies efficiently and effectively.

To Whom It May Concern:
ReplyDeleteMy acquaintance with Charles A. Spradlin Sr. has been over 6 years. I have visited in his home, ministered in his church, and on one occasion traveled with him. He is a person of highest integrity and compassion, an exemplary husband and father, dedicated to the cause of Christ, and totally committed to fulfilling the call of God in his life.
My wife and I were in the Freedom 7 Program and we were never asked to contribute any money at any time. There was absolutely nothing unscrupulous in Charles A. Spradlin’s involvement in that program. We consider him an honorable man and a personal friend.

Dear Mr. Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. and Mr. Robert E. Palm:
ReplyDeleteI have known for some time that wicked and evil men have spoken evil of me which I have ignored, but recently it has come to my attention that each of you also has now been subjected to reckless attacks by a tiny claque of internet retrogrades who have sought to demean your character and smear your reputations through false and distorted information and this I will not stand for knowing you are men of high integrity.
It has been my privilege for some 17 years to work closely with each of you in a professional capacity as an Attorney and consultant on complex international corporate and financial matters when dealing with your foundations and ministry efforts worldwide.
As a result, I quickly came to recognize your high level of integrity, your altruistic spirit, your selflessness, your tenacity, your devotion to Biblical truth, your staunch support of faith based ministries, and your compassionate desire to assist the troubled nations of the earth including America. These sterling qualities have endured and distinctively set each of you apart from other men of commerce.
It is amazing that anyone could even examine your track records and fail to notice these sterling personal qualities.
History has shown us many instances in which men of boundless courage and high achievement have incurred the enmity of the petty and the scornful. Courage and achievement tend to stir up the hornets and hatred, the jackals of jealousy, and the serpents of sleaze. The petty bloggers who have so recklessly attacked each of you will one day reap their just rewards.
Respectfully yours,
Paul Hiram Chappell, Attorney-at-Law

ReplyDeleteHow do I feel and what can I say about Charles A. Spradlin, Sr.?
Although Charles A. Spradlin, Sr. (who throughout here, now, I will refer to as “Charlie”), is my pastor and my close friend, I want to tell you something I personally know about his business perspective. The blog I am writing to is called “Eyewitness Report”; well, I am a direct EYEWITNESS to something I want to share with you.
Charlie reminds me particularly of my father, a person you come to if you have an idea and want to know what he thinks of it; someone you can get good counsel from. I have been there when it has happened, with both men. Now, the difference between the two men (both loved and respected by many, I might add) is my father would look at your idea, tell you what he thought, and even tell you how to make it better, but when asked to be a part of it, he would wish you well and send you on your way. Now, Charlie, also, will look at your idea, tell you what he thinks, and also what he thinks needs to be changed, but on the other hand – and the big difference between the two men is – when asked to help, even though already overwhelmed with work, Charlie will agree to help in any way that is appropriate that he can. Where Charlie is concerned, this is not so he himself can prosper, but because he loves to see others succeed.
I have seen Charlie not only say he would help, but for people with inventions and/or new ideas, be invited to bring them to his property, develop them in his building, and then, help them put together a few people and help with distribution. This is what happened with Freedom 7. I’d stopped in the day the originator was there telling him about it. What Charlie saw was a way, as Scripture would say, for people to leave an inheritance for their children’s children, even though they had good jobs and good health, but otherwise, had no way of affording to leave their children much of anything. So things were set in motion with what we thought was a great plan.
The plan was that Freedom 7 would give a very nice inheritance to the decedent’s family with the entire cost deferred until the death benefit (which they would have never received in the first place were it not for Freedom 7) was paid; and then, again, the heirs had had nothing to pay out of their own pockets for the costs which had been incurred came out of the death benefit to which they, themselves, had never contributed a thing.
Freedom 7 was working apparently just fine until I perceive some jealous people got upset about others being helped. So they went after Charlie, who actually only told others about what he signed up for himself since he was pleased with it on behalf of himself and his family. CHARLES A. SPRADLIN, SR., HAD NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO GAIN OUT OF THIS PROGRAM EXCEPT FOR THE SATISFACTION THAT OTHERS HAD BEEN BLESSED. Out of this witch hunt, Charlie was found at no fault of doing any wrong. What I have written here you won’t find in any of the negative blogs about Charlie or all the other good people who were signed up in this program like my precious wife whom these tellers of lies have slandered also.
I guess what I’m trying to say is: Charlie is just a good man trying to help others to get ahead and prosper, a freedom given us by our founding fathers. And to you who speak ill of Charles A. Spradlin, Sr., if he were the man trying to get ahead on the backs of others, being deceitful and/or dishonest, you wouldn’t be downgrading him; you would be asking him to run for office!
Sincerely yours,
Michael Stults

Pastor Charles Spradlin, Sr.'s, life is an example of ministering the ultimate truth of the Word of God, both in deed and action. He has many supernatural victories for the body of Christ including helping to feed Russia and the Russian Federation States shortly after the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 when tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands under the old Communist rule were starving to death. During that same period of time, he and his associates helped to fund the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout all these same nations and other nations for years thereafter.
Over the years, because of Jesus Christ living in Pastor Charles Spradlin's heart by faith, he has raised many people from the dead who passed away from automobile accidents, heart attacks, sickness, and disease, each impossible in the natural, but it happened to the saving of many souls from the pit of hell from which there is no return. This can only be done through faith in the Father's word, in the name of Jesus Christ, where Charles Spradlin stood on John 14:12 and believed God’s word to perform the same works that Jesus did and even greater works over the years as Jesus commanded all believers to do. Thus, it came to pass by his faith in action; God honored Pastor Charles Spradlin, Sr., and those he prayed for with life and life more abundantly. He has arisen to the assignment with Holy Ghost spiritual powers at the proper time as the Spirit of God has willed and chosen throughout his life.
He has kept his life clear of clutter and stayed single-minded, committed to the call of God on his life, regardless of the cost. And this commitment remains steadfast to this day in his ministry at Sonship Ministry of which he is headship.
