The Assemblies of God, the largest Pentecostal denomination in America and the world, along with the Atlanta Dream Center and multiple related organizations whose mission includes fighting human trafficking, have been accused in a federal lawsuit of trafficking hundreds of young adults seeking to become missionaries and pastors.
"This case reveals a sophisticated human trafficking and forced labor operation disguised as a religious ministry. Young, vulnerable individuals, including the Plaintiff, were recruited nationwide with promises of missionary training, only to be systematically isolated, manipulated, and coerced into providing unpaid labor at sporting events, conventions, and corporate gatherings across the country," the 86-page lawsuit filed last Monday in a federal court in Georgia and reviewed by The Christian Post, alleges.
In addition to the AOG and the Atlanta Dream Center, the lawsuit also names as defendants: the Atlanta Dream Center Church, Inc., and related operations the Atlanta School of Ministry, Frontline Response International, Inc., Assemblies of God, Georgia District Council Assemblies of God, Inc., MC Foundation, Inc. doing business as Mission Movement Corps., and John Does 1-50. They are collectively called the ADC Defendants in the lawsuit.
