Professor Kriengsak Chareonwongsak and ex-pastor

Does his resume remind you of anyone in the bible ? Does Solomon ring a bell ? He was very wise, very smart. But in the end he gained the whole world but lost favour with God. This was our dear founder who started Hope Church and ran the church behind the scene since 1997 as an Advisor in the movement. Scary isn't it, a man who would not allow his stuff to have any christian sharing or christian items in his office, who would ask his staff who are christian to attend temple ritual for him . A man who openly denounce knowing our church, BUT uses our money to fund his ambition.

If he truly wants to change Thailand, he should use his OWN money not money from the church he openly deny knowing.

Here is the man who is pulling the string of Hope Churches for almost 30years... 15 years of which are behind the scene.
