The court is on my side: Eileen's experience P/9

                                                      Read Part One HERE

In this post I will continue to share the story of abuse suffered by Eileen Gray, previously a member of Grace Community Church, pastored by John MacArthur.


After Pastor John MacArthur had told the church that Eileen Gray was to be disciplined, he urged the church to pray for her husband David Gray, who taught music and Bible to children at Grace Community Church from 1994 -2001, with the following words; "Pray for David, for the sympathy and compassion and the loving kindness of God to be his portion."

Pastor MacArthur then invited the church to sing "Amazing Grace."

A few weeks later Eileen moved away and found a church that welcomed her into fellowship.

The next year, Eileen learned that David had not only physically, emotionally and verbally abused her children, but had sexually abused them as well. Shen then reported her husband's abuse to LAPD. 

Even then, Grace Community Church did not defend and support Eileen, but instead rallied behind her husband.

Today David is serving 21 years to life in a California prison for his 2005 conviction for aggravated child abuse, molestation, corporal injury to a child, and child abuse.
