God Is Always Faithful
A Story of God-Ordained Betrayals
by Scott Paschal
Credits:  To my support friends in all of this... Charlie, Scotty (AKA Laura), Althea, Rita, Suze, and my mom who has been a successful psychologist for more than 30 years... I say thanks.  To my ministry buddies I say, "Have you hugged a goon today?".  To my dad who took his life in 1984 I say you are the reason I am exactly where I need to be.  To the God of the universe I say thank you for being in complete control and knowing exactly where you will lead me though they're betrayal.  To my big bro I say  you are my example, I can't wait to see you in Estes Park and go fishing together.
Introduction
My prayer is through reading this story the church will become stronger & someone on the pro tour will become educated on the dangers of anti-depressant drug addiction...
The Bible is very clear about the God-ordained role Judas played in fulfilling God's plan for his people.  God placed Judas inside Jesus inner circle of disciples.  Judas was highly important to God's plan for Christ.  You see, if Judas hadn't betrayed Christ for a 30 pieces of silver then Christ would not have been able to continue His journey to persecution resulting in His death on the cross.
If Jesus had not been betrayed by Judas, His chosen disciple for this job,  satan would not have been defeated by His death, then His defeat of death.  It is a fascinating aspect of ministry.  That God can, will, and did place Judas in Jesus most intimate inner circle is a Biblical promise to us that He is in control.
When you look at the two major betrayers of Christ, you have Peter and you have Judas.  Peter betrayed Christ three times, the same Christ he witnessed performing miracles!  Through this betrayal, Peter felt grief and remorse.  Peter's betrayal was 100% completely and totally exactly part of God's plan for the Salvation of His people.
In the Bible is is a promise that Jesus was betrayed, and that each betrayer was placed exactly where they were supposed to be and did exactly what God ordained them to do!
I have found this Biblical promise fascinating.
God allows satanic influences inside Christian ministry!  Here's the kicker... without those satanic influences God's plan can't be accomplished to fulfillment!
I love it.  If more churches knew this Biblical promise and embraced it as it is, God's church would strengthen.
In embracing this God-ordained need, in embracing God's ability to turn satan's soldiers into His personal puppets, God's people attained Salvation through Faith in the belief of the death and resurrection of Jesus, His promised Messiah.
The role of both men, Judas and Peter, is incredibly compelling to study!  Judas betrayed Christ and committed suicide.  Peter betrayed Christ and was led to remorse!  This remorse fueled with Christ' return birthed Peter's passion to become the leader of the church being established here on earth!
Incredible!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The question thus becomes, what is your role in the church?  Are you a traditional disciple of Christ following His Greatest Commandments and the Great Commission?
Or, possibly more importantly, are you a betrayer!?
A Judas or a Peter!?
Wow, what a powerful thought.
Can I tell you something that may seem odd?  Lean in a bit, I'd like you to hear me cause I'm going to tell you something important.  Ready?  Ok.  Here I go...
I love what Judas did!  I love his role.  Without that dysfunctional moron, I'd be heading straight to hell with you.
Remember when Christ  told Judas to go do what he was ordained to do that night?  Even Christ knew, before Judas did, that Judas was crucial to His defeat of satan.
Can we give Judas a hand here?  Everybody clap.
You did it, Judas!
You became the puppet's puppet.
Satan had you embedded right inside the powerful camp of Jesus.  Right inside the camp of the God of the universe!  Not just anybody's camp, but God's camp.
He had you completely manipulated into justifying your motives. You really believed you were right, dude!  What a goon!
Satan was gleefully celebrating as his goon plan was coming together just right.  He puppeteered Judas for pennies on the dollar.  What a bargain, chump change for Jesus!
Yet, God had ordained the entire event.
Beautiful.
Which are you?  Traditional disciple or betrayer?
If betrayer, Judas or Peter?
I believe if you are a Judas you have never truly accepted Christ.  Thus you are hellbound with a Bible in your hand and the words of God on your lips.  There is no way a Christian as defined in the Bible could become a Judas.  A Judas is a false Christian convert.
If you have truly accepted Christ, your life would reflect His love, and becoming a Judas would thus be impossible.
A Peter, maybe.  A Judas, no.
Judas killed himself after being chased by demons who no longer had use of him.  Peter, regretted his own mistakes and vowed to completely follow His Lord if given another chance.  Which he received!
Wow, this is good preaching, huh?  I've never been one to be wimp out when God gets me going with a message.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having laid this biblical promise foundation I'd like to show you a real life application which led to learning about this lesson while we were actually living it.  Yep, while we were here in camp ICTA learning about Peter and Judas, satan had embedded his own goons as God had ordained to happen!
I love it!  As the goons read this they will remember quite clearly how they felt while they were studying the material.  As goons worldwide read this they will each know it is them I am describing.  Goons know.  What they don't know is if they are a Peter or a Judas goon.
Here's Webster's definition of goon.
Pronunciation: 'gün
Function: noun
Etymology: probably short for English dialect gooney (simpleton)
1 : a stupid person
2 : a man hired to terrorize or eliminate opponents
Pretty good, huh?  A stupid person.  A man hired to terrorize or eliminate opponents.  That fits pretty well.  Thanks Webster.
So in my daily duties growing and maintaining my ministry, the International Christian Tennis Association, I often don't have time for fun.  I'm busy.  I work hard.  I'm a preacher and I preach.  I tell folks about Jesus.
While this can be fun, it's also work.  Ministry is hard work.  Think Paul had it easy?  Think the disciples had it easy?  Think again, my friend.  Weren't they all persecuted and murdered?  If you don't know read your Bible.
Fun for me is something that has to do with coaching, cooking, or talking.  I love all three.
So I do all three.  This sports ministry has a small Christian Tennis Academy.  This academy is just one, small, tiny, aspect of this ministry as a whole.
This ministry is not a tennis academy.  We're not a tennis academy that has a small ministry attached!  That would be the backwards way of looking at it.
I coach because I love it.  It is my hobby that brings me great reward.
I love to coach any sport, but tennis is my favorite.  So, I coach.  I have just a small amount of time to be on court, about 3 hrs a day.  I love every minute.
What does this have to do with anything?   Ok, I'll explain.
After a lengthy application process and a comfort zone is established between me, the player, and the parents, new students come and train full time with me.  They each have a room in my house and have duties assigned to help them help all of us take care of the place.
My house is my ministry base.  This is where all they work happens in preparation of our mission trips, etc!  This is our camp location!  And I am highly selective as to whom I allow in my inner circle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, goons had been discovered in camp ICTA!
And directly from their work ICTA's ministry has quadrupled in every aspect.  And quadrupled may be the wrong number!  It's going higher daily.  Through the goon work, God has defeated barriars I previously didn't know how to overcome.
So my two goonies, thank you!  One of you knew you were a goon the day we began studying both Peter's betrayal of His Christ which led to Peter's future passion,  and of Judas' betrayal which lead to satan's defeat and Judas suicide.  I remember the conviction you felt, dude, as we studied this.  I felt badly for you as I knew who you were to become.  I remember the look in your eyes when you recognized yourself in the Bible passages as we studied them.
Yet, I remember rejoicing that God must have big plans of growth of His ministry through my efforts and from you current and upcoming goon behavior and activities.  You felt you had power and authority.  All you were was a puppet.  The question left is are you a J-goon or a P-goon?
My goons have been used by God to skyrocket my ministry to a level I did not know we could reach within just 7 years.  Even what happened today is blowing my mind.  Satan is thoroughly getting his butt kicked right now, barriers are getting blown away, and  ICTA has found a new gear to shift into!
Now to begin the meat of my story!  This is the fun stuff after all the boring groundwork I had to lay out.
I want to introduce you to my goons.
I'll share with you the God-blessed miracle of His work through me to save her life from suicide which led her into my inner circle, thus established one of God's ordained goons in my life and in my inner circle.
I'll also introduce you to a goon assistant who is less than brilliant, yet he has fulfilled a powerful role in establishing the another goon.
And finally, I'll tell you about my favorite goon!  He's come full circle from my betrayer goon to passionate Christian.  So, he's officially a former P-goon!
Then finally, there are the goon's personal supporters.  The ones the betrayers themselves are led to to before, during, or after the fulfill of God's perfect plan.  They are the spin - doctors, the master manipulators!  Each of them has a role in God's planning!  God bless 'em.  I'm not sure what to call them... goobers, maybe.  Ok, the name goobers sound good for them.  And kids will remember the name easily!  Goobers it is!
You've read a lot to get to this point in this God-ordained story of success.  How about taking a break for a bit.  Go pop some corn and grab a coke.  Then come on back for the show.  This ride is a fun one and you're going to have a great time and learn a lot about something that can help you grow in healthy ways for the rest of your life.
Go ahead and get your snacks!  I'll be here waiting.  I'm not going anywhere.  See you in a minute....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter One:
The Miracle & Goon Contact
Ok here we go! The story begins as I make contact with her.  At this point I am a fish in a tank and God is watching me swim.  I had no idea what my upcoming decisions would lead to!  Wow, God is amazing!  He is awesome!  I wish more people could feel His presence working in their lives.  Let's get started...
I was going to bed Christmas Eve.  Everything was really quiet around my big, comfy  two-story house here in Palm Coast, Florida.  All of my fulltime missionary tennis students had gone home for the Christmas Holidays and it was just me, my fish, and the dog.
My new house, usually full of fulltime students playing ping pong, watching tennis and ministry videos, cooking, laughing, and doing homework, seemed unusually quiet, even for being empty.
In fact it was so quiet the only thing I could hear was the same thought running around in my head over and over.  I couldn't make it stop.  I lay in bed for over an hour and finally sat up in a sweat.  It was as if someone had been talking in my ear non-stop telling me the same thing over and over.
You see, earlier that day I had received an email from her former tennis coach.  Every few months I contact him to see how he is doing, and to check on her.  He was writing back this day with a message that continued to bother me from the moment I read it until I sat up in bed.
She had once been a world-class athlete.  Her abilities as a professional athlete were beginning to be reached, yet something had constantly sabatouged her efforts.  I remember supporting her as she won a big pro tennis tournament just a few years earlier.  She showed all the promise of a future tennis star.  We began a friendship that I felt would last a long time and was destined for a purpose, though I couldn't pinpoint just what that purpose would be.
chapter in progress...
Chapter Two:
Love Your Enemies
Remember, at this point, I'm simply a happy, hard working preacher and tennis coach.  I'm still completely in the dark about God's upcoming plans for victory through my two goons!  We hadn't had our fascinating Bible studies about Judas and Peter's betrayal of the Messiah.  I'm simply a guy who is thrilled to have been used by Christ to keep this player from killing herself on Christmas Eve.
She had just arrived from France.  I trust her in my inner circle and I still trust him, though that would quickly change.  I'll explain...
The day was gorgeous.  Then sun was brilliantly shining and the temperature seemed just right.  We all drove out to the courts to play some tennis.  There was an anticipation in the air.  An anticipation of a journey beginning.
For the first time in over two years I was watching her hit tennis balls.
As she hit a few balls, I began having mixed emotions.  Happiness and sadness flooded my thoughts.  I was so grateful that she was alive, so grateful she was still on this planet.  My recent email had arrived to her at one of the lowest points in her life.  When she called and told me how grateful she was that I had contacted her, and how difficult her life had been, I felt great!
From the moment she and I spoke her life began to move forward again.  She was soon on her way to America to train for tennis with me in preparation for a comeback on the WTA Pro Tour.
Though I was thrilled to be in such an amazing position to have her in my life, I was also deeply saddened at how much she had changed physically, mentally, and spiritually.    I could not believe this was the same girl I had known.  After just nineteen minutes of short-court tennis, she was exhausted and ready to go home.  Inside my heart broke for her as she had fallen so far. Yet, I was also so proud of her effort and willingness.
I knew so many difficult things had to have happened in her life to bring her to such a low point.  I knew I was placing myself in a potentially dangerous position by bringing her into my life, my ministry, and into my home.  It is impossible for someone to have sank as low as her in all aspects of her life, and still be a healthy person.  I knew that by taking on this God-given assignment, I was placing myself directly in front of a train of trouble.
Still, without a second thought, as she and I spoke on the phone, I felt God blessing the entire situation.  Though it would be difficult and could lead down paths I didn't want to travel, I completely believe God is in control, so I agreed for her to come full time.
My story of her 7 weeks with me mirrors the story of her life story.  Incredible happiness wrought with mistrust and pain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My house went on suicide watch.
I carefully and completely explained to our tennis missionaries and their families, as well as to my friends, just exactly what she had told me on the phone.  We were all ready to the best of our ability.  We knew the potential existed for her to take her own life.
It would have been easy to tell her no, that she couldn't come.  But, God has never abandoned me.  He teaches me not to do the same.  And the way we came in contact again, after such a long time, was agreed by both of us was a miracle happening at the perfect time.
For six weeks my life was entirely changed.  I had never been with a person who had been asabused, neglected, used, and manipulated as her.  I had never seen someone so broken.  In over my head is a good phrase.  She had the best doctors in her area in France, yet still was suicidal.  What could I possibly do?  I had the confidence God brought us together, but now what?
I founded the International Christian Tennis Association in 1999, officially.  This is our 8th year in ministry.  In these eight years I have never witnessed within the six short weeks I have cared for her such powerful spiritual attacks, and such "only by the grace of God" blessings!  I have kept a daily journal of the days since her arrival.  What began as a daily fitness workout tally has turned into a log of the extreme highs and lows of her personality.  These ups and downs are recorded day by day.
I would call friends to gain their advice and counsel in dealing with the pain controlling her.  Make no mistake about it, she was hurting.  How do I know?  Let me ask you something...
Have you ever met a person who has inflicted multiple razor blade cuts on their arm?  This doesn't just happen from the actions of a healthy person.  The intense pain and anguish which leads to "cutting", as it is officially called, comes from years of abuse.  This twenty-two year old girl was in pain.  She was hurting and this hurt led her to locate a razor blade, hold it next to her skin, and slice her arm.  The blood would then seep out and the wound would open.
The cuts are on her left arm.  On the inside, the palm side, starting about an inch below her left elbow.  Their are five cuts that I remember.  They run sideways.  Each one is about three to four inches long.  Cutting means some one needs mental help.  They are in trouble and are calling out for someone to help.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wasn't told she was into "cutting."  No one mentioned it to me.  Study cutting for any length of time and you know it's serious.  I wasn't capable, not trained in any way, to handle someone into cutting.  If I had known I would have sought other avenues to help her, which may or may not have included coming to train with me full time depending on the advice and wise counsel of capable persons.
As bad as her "cutting" is, there was more, so much more.
I often had struggling emotions over feeling lied to by her before she ever came.  Not really lied to about what she said, but about what wasn't said.  If I she and the pastor's wife she sought refuge from her mother with had been 100% honest about her true situation I would have done things differently.
I feel misled by them both.  The pastor's wife had plenty of opportunity to tell me about her cutting, her bulimic & anorexic eating disorders, drug addictions, and more... so much more.
I was not prepared for what I brought into my home on January 16, 2006.
When she arrived i could have had no possible idea of the precarious situation I would allow a position of trust in my inner circle.  It would have been so easy after the first week to just send her home.  She was more than I could deal with.  Her first week was actually the easiest week of the six weeks she was in my house.  It was such a confusing time for me.
Her life was improving right before our eyes!
She said every day how happy she was.
She could be kind and loving.
Yet, the pain in her life was evident.  Have you ever lived with someone with an eating disorder?  They eat, then walk into the bathroom and expell their food into the toilet by vomiting, usually attempting to hide the vomiting sounds by running the shower or sink water.
I remember the phone call from Sue when Sue was outside the bathroom listening to her vomit her just eaten meal.  Sue was in a panick!  I told her it would be ok and to try to relax.  Sue had never experienced this before.
It changed all of us to live with a bulimic.
We began to be not only being concerned about her committing suicide, but also were concerned every time she ate.  Should we say something to her about it?  If we did would she take her life?
We had quickly learned previously that she did not like to be told she was wrong!  We had lived through her temper several times and were wise enough to try and not go there.  We were all getting weary from it all.  The signs of weariness showed.
I kept telling myself it must be worth it.  God must have a plan from our pain.  I also reminded myself that if I worked hard enough she could be back on tour with a new chance in life.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since her arrival, I personally hadn't slept well in two weeks.
All of this, plus her powerful and addictive anti-depressant drug, Paxil, controlled her emotions and moods.  We daily rode her roller coaster of happiness and anger.  Usually, extreme happiness and kindness in the morning, then depression in the evenings.  In between she was numb, showing little emotion.
Do you know about Paxil?
Let me share with you what I have, through research, discovered is one of the most dangerous, destructive, and addictive prescription drugs in the world.  Here is a testimony from a man as written on a web site.....
 "I am the husband of a woman I have loved for over 20 years and who has decided it was time to free herself from Paxil and start feeling the highs and lows of her own life. She started this trek in May of last year, and to this day we live one day at a time. We have gone to the emergency room numerous times and have waited in small cubicles up to 15 to 20 hours for a nurse or doctor to tell us they really don't know what's going on. She was admitted to a mental hospital soon after trying to wean herself off this drug.
She has read and tried everything known to man to help her on this quest. Shes tried every vitamin, every pressure point, massage, acupuncture, yoga, chinese medicine, walks, therapy, doctors visits, doctors visits, doctors visits and did I say doctors visits? I cannot physically see a gaping wound that would remind me that she needs my help, which is hard, but there are times when I can look into her eyes and know that she needs me to help her or just be there.
I would be lying if I told you I didn't feel like moving to Alaska several times each week as she tries to get better. What I think keeps me going is when I hear her laugh at a joke, the day she says she feels a little better, the night she is able to sleep through, and the hugs that she gives me for helping her along her journey. I'm definitely here for the good times, but I'm also very much entrenched when she needs me the most. I love this woman with all my heart and soul, even though she is driving me crazy."
Here is another testimony from a woman whose marriage ended because of the effects of taking Zoloft, a powerful anti depressant:
My heart goes out to you.
It is very difficult to have a partner dealing with the effects of SSRIs.
I had a twelve year marriage end because of the effects... Zoloft... on my now-ex husband. From what I have seen personally and read on this board, these anti-depressants can permanently change a person. They will not be who they were. This doesn't have to be a bad thing, but for the person going through it, it must be disturbing, if not scary.
My current boyfriend is SLOWLY weaning off of Zoloft. A slow withdrawal gives the person a chance to adjust to all the changes: physical, emotional, mental. It can be a huge task and it's hard on a relationship. Your wife needs time and space to figure out who this new person is and what she really wants. The irony is that you may know her better than she knows herself. But she still needs to find out for herself.
The thing is, your wife cannot be a full partner for you right now and maybe not be for some time. It's not her fault. And it sounds like you're willing to deal with that. But she may not be able to accept it.
I would take the position of being a loving and supportive roomate. No expectations about outcome. You will have to let go of your picture of how your lives together were going to play out because all bets are off now. This is not easy and it's normal to be angry about it. But if you can do it, you will be at peace with yourself.
Be good to yourself. Take care of yourself without abandoning her. Yes, she may need to go off on her own and no one can guarantee she'll come back to you. But if you have a truly close relationship my guess is she will come back as long as you make it clear the door is open without pressures, expectations, or conditions. Good relationships are not easy to come by and she may yet come to value what you two have.
I hope this helps some. Feel free to keep coming back to this board. It has been a sanity saver for me and it can be for you.
Best,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As her prescription was running low, before I knew what Paxil was or that she was taking it, she asked me how we could fill it.  She said that it was sold over-the-counter in America.  I googled the name of the drug she had received in France before she came to the USA.  It led me to the name Paxil.  I then googled Paxil, clicked on a web site to see where we could purchase it, and began reading about Paxil.
As I read about Paxil, I froze.  I nearly cried on the spot.  She had been through enough, now this!
In my research to learn about Paxil and how to help her fill her prescription, I discovered she was taking incredibly large doses of Paxil.  In a subsequently discussion with a pharmacist, we discovered she had been prescribed a high dosage amount in France which is illegal in America!  She was prescribed 200% the legal US limit!
What I have learned has been life changing.  This pro player's mind had become altered from this drug, possibly with permanent damaging effects.  Paxil is a SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors).
I will attempt to educate the reader about SSRIs.  I will also discuss the details as given to me by the pro player discussing her personal stories of being abused, which led to her depression and then ultimately to the dangerous, addictive, anti-depressant prescription drug, Paxil.
As I mentioned earlier, my ministry has been in many ways negatively afftected by her drugs.
As we were forced to deal with her issues, I reached out for support.  I was worn out, tired, and becoming depressed myself from the 24 hr a day war raging inside of her that was quickly beginning to control my house and my ministry.
Here are a few letters of support and understanding I received from friends as I reached out for help...
#1
Scott & Team,
I do want incourage you. This IS NOT just about Paxil but all SSRI's. And they are being handed out like candy. It is estimated that 1 in 7 Americans may be on these types of drugs. Some suggest it is higher. They are being issued for just about anything.
These drugs cause people to disconnnect from themselves and those around them. They numb feelings and inhibit the person's ability to love, feel compassion, connect with themselves and their sense or connection to something higher than themselves. I don't want to offend anyone either as I know that not everyone is Christian. But the more I learn about the number of murders and suicides by people on these drugs the more I wonder if they are not part of the reason for this passage in the bible referring to the end times.
”This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Tim 3:1-5).
You have a platform that we do not...I do hope you get the word out on this issue. I think you have found the reason that you had this experience.
As for the (**1). Try to remember her for who she was three years ago. She was altered by the drugs and it will take a long road to come back to herself. I hope she has the strength in her to be able to do that.

"Scott,  Thank you for contacting me.  I wish she (or you) had contacted us before weaning off. (or beginning)  As you can tell from your research and our first hand experience what you witnessed is common in rapid weaning and in paxil use itself. We have lived it personally or through the hell that loved ones had to endure. It is a trauma for all involved. If you have any contact with her in the near future please give her this information I have. She needs to know that she is not alone in this. What you describe is classic paxil adverse reaction in a teen. The suicidal tendencies, the self harm, the outbursts followed by apologies. Classic!!
Her dosage doesn't surprise me... the normal reaction to the "adverse" reaction is to increase the dose. This is what happened with my son, until he crashed.
You are to be commended for taking the time to find out about paxil and in doing so may have saved her life. Lets hope she recognizes the withdrawal symptoms for what they are.
What you can do is spread the word of what you have experienced with this child. It's only through our experiences and speaking out that the truth about paxil is coming to the public.
Consider me someone where you can share your thoughts, vent, yell, pray, whatever you need to do to reconcile this experience in your head. There is nothing that you can say that will shock any of us. We've been there!
Thank you from my heart for caring this much about this child, when others had failed her."
Laurie!

"Hang in there Scott. I am sure there is some purpose for your witnessing this situation and becoming involved in it. What you're going through with this tennis player sounds a lot like what we have been through with my son. Paxil use and withdrawal affects the lives of everyone around it. It has turned my family upside down and it seems never ending. It's terribly difficult because you have to keep remembering that the person who is going through this absolutely cannot help what is happening to them. They are just not themselves. I am sure you have read enough to see that there is no easy fix to this. It takes time.
I know you are emotionally drained from this experience, but I can't help but believe that there was a purpose. You may not know what it is, but eventually you will figure it out. Don't forget that verse in Romans, "All things work for the good....." I am sure you know it. I hang onto that verse during times like this. I cannot forget that something good is going to come out of this eventually. I am presently weaning 12 year old son:
Paxil 10mg - Jan 2005, Paxil 7.5mg - Nov 21, 2005, Paxil 5mg - Nov 23, 2005 (he refused 7.5mg) , Paxil 2.5mg - Jan 23, 2006."

"Boy,  you do have a tough one here. Unfortunately there is no easy fix and until she sees what's happening, and why , nobody will have much influence over her.
This without a doubt a test for you and your ministry.
You do have an advantage over many in that you know where to turn for help and the answers you need. Sometimes it's only God's healing hand that can make the difference. Stay true to your faith and continue to serve the master. I have felt for a while that there was a place for the battle against mind altering drugs in the church and you may be the chosen one."
God Bless
Charlie

God is Always Faithful: A Realization of Life's Value by a WTA Player
Scott Paschal
March 8, 2006 - As I went to bed on Christmas Eve 2005, I had absolutely no idea that within minutes God was about to work through me to reach a special WTA player, thousands of miles away, for Him to bring her hope that He is indeed real, and to stop her from ending her life in suicide. This miraculous Christian intervention takes my breath away as I again realize God can use any of us at any moment for His will.
Her story is miraculous! From the highs of Wimbledon and Rolland Garros as she climbed the WTA Tour rankings to the lows being betrayed,abused, and used by those, even professing Christians in places of authority, she trusted. Read both her words and mine as we offer you inspiration and hope, to help you fight satanic oppression, that God is real and is always faithful... always...
God Is Always Faithful
A Story of God's Love & Grace
by Scott Paschal
Author's Note: This article is still being written and revised.  This web page is simply the canvas it is being written on.  I reserve the right to alter or change the wording at any time.  It is simply here at this present moment as I feel it can benefit those in need, though it is unfinished and unrevised.  This article and it's subsequent chapters will be added to my upcoming book  to be published this summer.  Please enjoy. I ask only that you do not judge this work until it is completed. For those, as is the main character of this true story, also caught in a satanic web, I can be reached via email or phone for advice, support, or simply friendship.
Introduction
Today, I begin writing this story because, with a clarity and a clear focus on allowing her pain to bring someone else possible benefit, she has asked me to bring this message to the world.
I was going to bed Christmas Eve.  Everything was really quiet around my big, comfy  two-story house here in Palm Coast, Florida.  All of my fulltime missionary tennis students had gone home for the Christmas Holidays and it was just me, my fish, and the dog.
My new house, usually full of fulltime students playing ping pong, watching tennis and ministry videos, cooking, laughing, and doing homework, seemed unusually quiet, even for being empty.
In fact it was so quiet the only thing I could hear was the same thought running around in my head over and over.  I couldn't make it stop.  I lay in bed for over an hour and finally sat up in a sweat.  It was as if someone had been talking in my ear non-stop telling me the same thing over and over.
You see, earlier that day I had received an email from her former tennis coach.  Every few months I contact him to see how he is doing, and to check on her.  He was writing back this day with a message that continued to bother me from the moment I read it until I sat up in bed.  This was her second massive depression under him.  She has quit tennis again.  He has blamed her for her depressions.  Everything was her fault, he stated.
She hadn't played pro tennis in over 6 months!  He doesn't even have contact with her anymore....
None of this made sense to me.  At one point in time she had everything going for her.
I knew this particular tennis coach was part of a works-based faith that feels they are Christian, yet theirs is a faith that believes a person can lose their salvation in Christ.  He travels to all of the large pro events as a tennis consultant and Christian advisor.
This coach often travels to the major tournaments in partnership with a basically self-ordained reverend who has proven to be a highly jealous and territorial person.  Both of these men became a main source of both Christian, as well as life, influence in the day to day personal growth and development of this young lady, a former shining star for Christ, whom I am now highly concerned about.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I personally have seen the behaviors of these two men over the last several years.  I have witnessed, particularly from the "reverend",  jealousy, competitiveness, and manipulation.  I have watched their two lives intertwine together on the tour, as weeds in a farmer's field,  to become a voice of their particular Christ and agenda for those who would hear them on the WTA Tour.
What has happened to her once bright hope?  Where have they led her?  Is she ok?  Where is she?  What have they done... or not done?
The voice was getting louder....
You must understand her as I knew her just a few years earlier.  Top 10 WTA potential, beautiful, tall and athletic, a new Christian excited to share her views with the world,  skyrocketing up the WTA rankings!  She was loving and kind with a heart to help anyone who asked for her assistance.  She was blessed with a gift of making all feel better about themselves.
All of this was pounding in my brain as I turned on the lights in my home office.  I had a picture of me and her at the US Open in 2003 on my desk.  We had a very strong, God-blessed connection at that time.
Many things began quickly coming together  in my mind as I walked to my desk.  Things I had thought of in the past, yet thought I had dealt with in a way that protected her.
I remembered the exact day when I became worried for her as she began gaining counsel and friendship with non-Christians, as well as questionable Christians.    I remembered the sick feeling I had when I saw satan beginning to spin his web around her young life.
Yet, I also remember warning the coach about this web!
I had warned him!
But, what has happened!?  Where is she?  Is she even alive?  What has he done?
Back then, a couple of years ago, I saw the satanic agenda clearly.  I shared it with him, completely.  I explained who the people were and what their agenda entailed, and how that agenda could harm her!
The coach had agreed with me.  But, little did I know at that time he would in silent, almost undetectable ways partner with them allow them a presence, however slight, in her life.
I started feeling sick.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pg 3
What has this "reverend" and this coach done?  My head was spinning....
What else has happened in her life?  Who else is causing abuse?  Or has there been anyabuse?  After all, I had only received an email from him.  Maybe she was fine.  Maybe I simply misunderstood his email. After all, he is not American and has a difficult time with the English language.  I became confused.
Then, the voice beating down on me began raising itself to a higher level.  Clearly, there was a serious issue.  Either I was going insane, or God was about to produce.
Where is she?  How is she?  Is she still alive?  Does she, through the pathetic actions of satan's fools, feel God has abandoned her?  Does she have any comprehension of His love and complete authority?  God is in control.  Not a "reverend."  Not a tennis coach.  Not the WTA tour.  Not a parent.  Not a sponsor.  Not fame or prestige.  God is in complete control.
Now, where is she?
I had no comprehension at this time of the painful, gripping story that would soon begin unfolding as the answers to these questions were brought out of dark, satanic closets and into the bright, flaming beacon of light only Christ can shine.
Though I had learned to trust neither of these men,  I prayed for them both.  While I believe the coach is simply misled in his faith and can more easily be reached, the "reverend" is another situation.  What I do trust completely is God's ability to care for His children, even though satan is powerful.
I know God has a purpose for every one of us.
He has called each of us to Him, though he also says in His Word, the Bible, that few will answer the call.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pg 4
He says many will come to him saying they did great things for Him, even casting out demons and healing the sick, and he will say,  "I never knew you."
It is possible for self-professing Christians to not actually be Christian!
It is possible God is not the one leading them, though they may not see this!  It is possible they are led by their own desires and have never truly been accepted into Christ's Kingdom, thus have never been granted the free gift of salvation!
If someone is not truly led of Christ, yet thinks he is, then what or who has been leading him?
I became frightened for her!  My heart began racing.  What have these "Christian" advisors done to her?  Where is she?  What has truly happened?  What have all of the others satan has placed in her path done to her?  The pro tour is full of manipulation and deceit.  What is going on?
Within hours I was going to be blown away by the answers.
Players are seldom treated as people, as much as they are sources of revenue.  Why has this coach written such terrible things about her?  Has she truly made horrible mistakes?  Has she truly caused her own demise?  What about him, his own soul?  Is he lost?  Are he and his partner outside of God's Kingdom?
Has she truly been receiving solid, Biblical counsel and guidance...?
Or has satan spent these last few years winding a carefully crafted spider's web around and through all aspects of her life's potential?
At one time, just over 2.5 years ago, I remember her as a young Christian full of hope.  I supported her as she won her first $75,000 ITF tournament!  We talked about Jesus, and her favorite book of the Bible, Romans.  She had everything going for her, along with unlimited potential to become a top WTA player.
What has happened!?  What has satan done to her through the lives of those he controls.  Why can I not sleep?  Why is this thought getting louder and louder as it refuses to let me sleep this Christmas Eve?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pg 5
Little could I have known that if I had waited much longer this story could have had a tragic ending.
Little could I have been able to understand how close to a horrific tradgedy satan had manipulated this young lady to committing.  As I worked to ignore it, the thought in my brain which refused to stop was getting louder and louder!  It would not be denied.
Thank God for His persistence.
As I got out of bed I knew I had to contact her, though I hadn't spoken to or seen her in nearly 2 years.  I spent over an hour locating her old email address her mom had given me at the Nasdaq 100 Open, the world's 5th largest pro tournament.  I didn't even know if it was still working.
I fired up my computer and sat in front of the bright screen while everything loaded up.  As I logged into my Yahoo account and began to type her an email, I had no idea, and I mean absolutely no idea, that God was beginning to work through me, a simple pastor and small time tennis coach, to reach someone very precious to Him to keep her from possibly ending her life that night.
My resume, if I were to ask to be used by God, is small and weak.  I am simply a guy trying to tell folks about Jesus, as commanded in Mathew 28, to the best of my extremely limited creativity and ability.
Right now, as I type this to you with my two typing fingers I am full of awe as I face the reality of a living breathing God who would not allow me to rest that night until I sent an email to one of His children far away.
It was as if He was moving my fingers to type an email of hope, an email of inspiration, and email with a simple purpose of proving to her God did not forget her, that He is fully aware of her value to Him, that He was waiting for the right time, His time, to reach out and pick her up from the lows only we can lead ourselves to.
Her life is a story of unfairness, a story of terrible abuse, a story of being used by others for their own gain, even by professing Christians in places of authority.
Her life is a mystery of satanic oppression working day and night to put out her flame of life, a flame given by God to all who believe, a flame that is a beacon of light for Christ shining brightly in this dark world.
Little did I know that our all-powerful God was moving me towards her in a way that showed to both her and me that it was truly of Him.  I couldn't sleep.  His voice was too loud.  His purpose was calling.
She was near the end. Her last glimmer of hope fading quietly.  She noticed the razor blade cuts she had self inflicted on her arm... she felt abandoned and alone... she thought maybe she should give up completely... she was dying inside... and it was time for God's miracle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pg 6
Feeling abandoned by those she trusted.  Lost in a big world.  Running from the God who gave her life.  Losing a battle she tried to fight on her own.
Then, the miracle happened!
God showed up.  He lifted her from the lows leading to suicide and brought her to the United States of America to be here with His people at the International Christian Tennis Association, a small sports ministry struggling to stay afloat in a powerful tennis world.
God began nursing her to physical and spiritual health.  Things began happening she could never have imagined.  Jesus showed (**1) without a doubt that He is real and began working in her life through the efforts of flawed, ordinary, imperfect people who strive to live for Him.
(**1) began attending a Bible-believing church!  The sermons spoke directly to the satanic oppression surrounding her.  She heard, she understood, she fought back!
She had found a new "Dad", me!  She had found two new sister and 3 new brothers!  She finally had a family of friends who cared about her.
She felt the spark of hope and was clinging to to this new chance God had given her to live!  And now, through an amazing amount of work by all, God has brought (**1) back to competition on the WTA Tour.  And I believe for a reason.
Through checking her email for possibly the last time, she read my email to her.  Sent by God through me, a coach she knew long ago.  A note of love and caring she knew could have only been sent but by the grace of God.
This life-giving message cut through the satanic web woven through her life for over 2 years and ripped her free.  She saw Christ.  She remembered His promises.
She has a new beginning!
I am extremely satisfied with my role God had me fill in reaching (**1).  She has asked me to share her still-being-written story with all who would read.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pg 7
I will share with you what she has written in her own words.  I will write of my experiences over these last 2 months.
This has been one of the most difficult times of my life as (**1) arrived so hurt, so worn out and depressed, that all aspects of the experience I have gained over the last 20 years of ministry and tennis were tested by her to their limits.
(**1) arrived physically weak, mentally exhausted, and spiritually empty.   Bringing her back to health was one of the most difficult, and time consuming, experiences of my life.  She had suffered years of abuse.  Her ability to trust was understandably low.
She was drowning and had fought for life.  She was horribly abused by a coach, used by a basically self-ordained pastor, forced to support her entire family consisting of her mother, brother, and grandfather with her prize money since she was 14 years of age, sexually molested by her Spanish coach for years as a teen....
Taking care of her took every bit of experience I had ever gained as both a coach and as a pastor.
I took the "less is more" approach to guiding (**1), and allowed her the freedom to grow as she chooses, by giving her basic boundaries and guidelines to follow.  The best in France couldn't heal her.  I knew it could only be by the hand of God.
For years when she needed help and guidance, the few Christian influences in her life - one coach in particular-  pointed their fingers at her, and said God was punishing her as she was not doing exactly what he instructed her to do.  Unfortunately, as a new Christian wrapped up in a works-based "Christian" denomination that believes a person can lose their salvation, (**1) was receiving advice that was leading her down the wrong path.
(**1) was being used, abused, and led down the path of destruction.
A bright, young light was being slowly extinguished.  The sweet, excited young girl I had met three years prior was methodically being led to her death by satanic oppression dressed up in the clothing of people she allowed into her inner circle of confidants.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pg 8
During this period, she had no idea what was happening.  How could she?  She simply tried to do her best and listen to the advice of those she trusted.  This was almost a fatal mistake as those in a position of influence were carefully planted wolves in sheep's clothing.
Thank God this is a story being written about a beautiful young lady who is still alive, still with us with a hope of a new life in Christ!  Thank God this is not a story of death and a battle lost!
Thank God!
Yet, even as I write, satan is once again surrounding (**1).  He has claimed her as his prize and refuses to be denied.  Her fight is not over, not at all.  In fact, it may very well just be beginning.
She is back on the WTA pro tour, the same environment which caused her near destruction.  After weeks of my intensive physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual training, (**1) decided she one again wanted to compete on the WTA tour.
Her first tournament back was the Tennis Channel Open in Las Vegas, Nevada.  She flew there with me and her entire ICTA Missions Team.  As I coached (**1) during this tournament, I couldn't help but remember how much God had accomplished over these few weeks!  She had just been so close to death, now there she was competing with one of the top players in the world!
I remembered how her first workout under my watchful coaching eye lasted just 19 minutes.  After only 19 minutes of short-court tennis, (**1) was exhausted.  She could do no more.  Eating disorders, addictive medications, abuse had taken an incredible toll on her once world-class body.
Just 19 minutes of mini tennis!  I had never seen this before.  I was shocked.  This was the same girl I had seen win a $75,000 ITF pro event.  The same girl I saw dominate a first round match in the 2003 US Open.
This was the same girl who split sets with Mary (**2) before losing 9-7 in the 3rd set just 6 months earlier!
And now, here she was, her body still over 20 lbs underweight from eating disorders, recovering from being suicidal, her arm showing multiple self -inflicted razor blade cuts born in the pain of abuse and neglect, overcoming clinical depression as well as addiction to the anti-depressant medication that has caused ruin to the lives of so many.
... abandoned by most everyone who knew her, or should I say... used her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pg 9
How could all of this happen?  Why did it have to happen?
Only God knows.  Maybe it all happened because now others will learn of (**1) life, of her pain and abuse, and they will be protected.  Maybe God allows pain in our lives to teach us and to teach others.  Without the pain of the cross, Jesus would not have defeated death, and thus defeated satan.
Without those who abused Him and the harm they inflicted on Him and those He loved, the will of God would not have been served.
Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ... all mankind has hope.
On Christmas Eve God made a decision that has altered my life, as well as the lives of those around me.  My life is His life.
I strive to be less me and more Him.  As the years have passed, He has asked me to do many things for Him.  Most of which I did not totally understand until later.  Through my mistakes, He has loved and guided me towards successes for Him.
For me personally, though rewarding, these two months providing for (**1) have been incredibly difficult.
(**1) arrived heavily medicated on powerful and highly dangerous anti-depressant drugs.  These drugs massively alter her moods from one hour to the next.   These drugs are terrifyingly addictive, as well as seductive.  She was on death's door, at the end of her hope.  Used and abused by many.  One minute incredibly sweet, the next angry and demanding.  She is not a stable person, yet.  Though she is stabilizing.
She arrived hurt and broken.  She began healing, and even began telling us daily how happy she has become.  She was thrilled to start each new day!
Then came the phone call from her mother and (**1) regressed.  What happened?  What is going on with her and her mother?  How could one short phone call cause (**1) to change so much so quickly?  This question and many others captivated me as I worked towards bringing (**1) back to health.
The answers to these questions are both painful and fascinating as I witnessed the damage done by demons of spiritual warfare waging an attack on a young, unsuspecting Christian girl.
As (**1) is back competing on the WTA tour, several of the people formerly in  (**1) life are now surrounding her again, attempting to advise and influence her.  I pray constantly for God's continuing intervention in her life.
My message to (**1) here is that she is loved and cared for.  My message to you is that God will not fail.  God is in complete control.  Focus on Christ.  Focus on His defeat of death.  God loves you and has not forsaken you.  Even Jesus felt abandoned on the cross.  Yet, He wasn't.  God Will was being fulfilled through the life of His son.
You are not forgotten.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pg 10
I brought (**1) into my life, into my home and allowed her into my inner circle.  She has met those whom I love and trust.  I have introduced her to my friends, who are also often my mentors.  These people are very famous Christian men who are the founders of large God-driven Christian ministries.
These are the men God brought into my life to protect, guide and mentor me, as well as stand by me when times were tough.  These are men who understand satan's lies, deceitful tactics, and manipulation.  They also understand me... and love me, though I am full of faults,  for who I am in Christ.  You do not see these men on this web site,  yet they are real, and (**1) has spent time with them playing tennis, talking, praying.
She knows they love and respect me.  She has attended their God-driven Christian concerts and listens to their award winning CD's, she has heard them speak God-blessed messages to thousands of people in large auditoriums, and she has read the books they have authored and watched the DVD's they have made.  Their work has reached and ministered to her in a personal way.   How rare and special to play tennis wih such neat men, and on the same day hear them minister to thousands, then spend time backstage in prayer and fellowship!
Each of these men has shown (**1), as well as all of my tennis missionary students, just exactly what a Christian ministry really looks like. And she has learned it looks much diferent than the ministries, or should i say agenda, of those in the past who gave her counsel.
Though I would love to tell everyone about my friends, and of the wonderful stories of our times together and of their importance to me, at this time I choose not to share their names, though they are real and (**1) has spent time with them.  For the reader, I do not want to use my friends to bring "validation" to me or my international sports ministry, thus there will be no names given.
I simply wanted (**1) to see the very real difference between God-blessed, God-driven men as compared to those false, wolves in sheep's clothing individuals she had entrusted with her precious life.  I want her to know the difference between what had been influencing her, and true men of God.
The difference between weak, manipulative, competitive persons calling themselves Christian to gain the trust and admiration of those who do not know better, and true men of God is amazing.  Power tripping, territorial men serve no positive purpose except for their downfall as others learn from their pride.
My hope and prayer is (**1) will allow her new testimony of Christ's work in her life to shine as a beacon of truth in the oftentimes dark world of the pro tour.  That her light will shine on the lies of those who slowly led her down the path of death, and serve as a guide for others lost.
That (**1) will see who God uses to help her, who God trusts to guide her, and who God leads to reach her.
I will now begin to unfold a story of hope and inspiration, of betrayal and abuse, of manipulative and lying "Christians", of satanic oppression, of users and abusers, and of the complete and awe-inspiring power of a living breathing God who took an ordinary guy like me, a simple pastor and small time tennis coach, to reach one of His precious children in her most desperate time of need.
God can and does use His people for His will.  We simply need to just allow Him to be the master of our lives.
When we learn to die to this world, Christ will begin to live in us.
You cannot serve two masters.  When we try to serve two masters we fail.  Then, in an attempt to succeed, we often chose to serve the world and follow its definition of success, which leads us to failure as Christians.
The choice is simple, the message is clear.
God is in control.

Faithwriters message board: http://64.235.52.11/article-details.php?id=51743
In this expose I will scrutinize statements made by the pathetic human creature, Scott Paschal, the founder of the bizarre international Christian tennis association.
This human scum preposterously claims he is qualified to be a minister for God.
My name is Filbobjefjim, a demon and a follower of Lucifer, the “shining one,” as this name proclaims.
I have been around since I was spoken into existence by God, whom I now know is phony. My purpose is to be a foot soldier of demonic activity on earth for Master Lord Satan.
My comprehension of every word in the Bible is much vaster than the majority of Christian humans, and I have billions of associates just as myself.
Quite honestly, well over 100 demons like me are purposefully positioned in the life of every single Christian human by our ruler, Master Lord Satan, to attempt to destroy their disgusting witness for the proven liar, Jesus Christ.
I will now show you an article I fortunately intercepted, which was written by the hypocrite, Scott Paschal, who has fanatically committed himself to telling the world about the lies of Jesus Christ.
Here is this manipulative Christian’s article. After you read his perverted lies, I, Filbobjefjim, though a lowly Level 3 demon, yet now hoping my interception of this letter will help raise me to a Level 2, will be back later to show you the truth as has been shown to me by my Master.
The intercepted message from this Christian human scum begins now…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello!
This is Scott Paschal, Director of the International Christian Tennis Association, www.christiantennis.net./
So great to have you drop by, and welcome to our little sports ministry which is boldly proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ through the sport of tennis!
To assist our efforts, please feel free to make copies of this article and hand it out at junior tennis tournaments worldwide.
This article can serve as a Christian tract. You can greatly help influence the direction of tennis in a positive way by becoming proactive with our Christian tennis ministry. You, too, can follow the Great Commission as written in Mathew 28 of the Bible!
Did you know that history has shown that the Bible is the indestructible Word of God?
That’s right!
You see, the Roman emperor Diocletian (A.D. 245-313) decreed in A.D. 303 that every Bible should be destroyed.
He had been told that if he could destroy the Bible he would destroy Christianity because “Christians are a people of the Book.”
Feeling he had succeeded, Diocletian raised a column with the inscription in Latin: “Extincto nomene Christianorum” (the name of Christian is extinguished).
Yet, Constantine succeeded him and in the year A.D. 312 replaced the pagan symbols with the symbol of the cross.
This remarkable change took place in less than ten years!
Neat stuff, huh!?
I remember not too long ago when I decided to follow the big dream God placed in my heart, which was to share the Good News of Salvation through faith in Jesus internationally through the sport of tennis.
Some people thought I was crazy and told me to my face it would never work.
In addition, as my Christian tennis academy began receiving female students who had been abused by sexual predator pedophiles posing as a Christian men, my young tennis ministry began being slandered, and my personal reputation and integrity attacked as I fought these pedophiles in defense of these abused female junior tennis players!
Yet, what Satan sought to destroy by working through these predator pedophiles, God used for His glory!
The International Christian Tennis Association, my big dream, grew and grew and was blessed indeed.
And these precious girls God led to our tennis ministry have achieved victory in Him!
Now ICTA has mission trips to famous professional tennis tournaments where we reach hundreds of thousands of attendees for Him!
In addition, ICTA has a membership base in over 1500 cities in 50 countries worldwide. That is so cool to me.
And, of course, we have our ICTA Women's Pro Tennis Team missionaries traveling internationally on the ITF and WTA pro tours, and so much more… all of this has happened in less than 10 years! Awesome.
On with my story…
Fourteen hundred years after Constantine, the French atheist Voltaire (1694-1778) boasted, “One hundred years from my date there will not be a Bible in the earth except on that is looked upon by an antiquarian curiosity seeker.”
Twenty years after the death of Voltaire, the Geneva Bible Society purchased his house for printing the Bible.
Big smile!
It later became the Paris headquarters for the British and Foreign Bible Society, which stored and distributed Bibles throughout Europe.
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever.” (Isa. 40:8).
I love this!
Voltaire’s own house!
How fun is that thought!?
As God has shaped and molded me for service in His army of Christian warriors here on earth, I have come to have a deep appreciation for His power, His glory, and His might.
We serve an amazing God who loves us. He created us in His image!
We are children of God.
No matter what situation you face, know God is ready to weather the storm with you.
This world is simply our training ground.
This is where He develops us for what is to come. It is also where we build up our treasure in heaven.
To me, it is exciting to be in the battle.
To see spiritual warfare exploding into real life all around us. To personally witness Bible promises become realiy.
I am so honored to be used by Him for His purpose.
Until next time…
May God bless and keep you!
Scott Paschal
Christian Warrior for Christ!
Ps. Please keep our Christian tennis missionaries, Rachel and Melody Snelen, in your prayers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, this is so sickening…. I, Filbobjefjim, promise to Satan that I will work to destroy this useless Jesus freak who dares to allege the liar Jesus is the savior of man.
Voltaire was a good man, but he was fragile.
Too weak to be properly used by Lord Pedaphilinjaile, even though a strong Level 2 demon, Angreed, was assigned to him.
Poor Angreed, I am glad I am not him. His punishment was severe, as he and his satanic foot soldiers could not stop the Bible from further spreading its lies.
Under the command of my superior, Lord Pedaphilinjaile, who is a powerful Level 1 demon answering directly to Lord Master Satan himself, I am honored to have the opportunity to prove my worthiness as a demonic foot soldier.
This pathetic creature, Scott Paschal, will soon see my wrath as I assemble my fellow troops and follow Lord Pedaphilinjaile as he mightily wages war against this ridiculous Christian tennis ministry and the thousands of humans they meet.
I will keep all of you up updated with my Satanic News Press Releases.
Off now I go, merrily scurrying to more internet chat rooms where I love to work while manipulating others into seeing the facts my way.
These human scum so love gossip and rumors, even many of the Christ-following fools we work to keep in the dark….

(**1)'s Story
We all know God's people are not perfect.
Churches are not meant to be places that cater to healthy, strong Christians and leave everyone else outside.  Churches are made when God's people gather for Him in worship, in teaching, and in support.   This includes hurting people.
Sports ministries such as the International Christian Tennis Association or the Fellowship of Christian Athletes follow the same call.  We all exist to share the Gospel and disciple God's people.
ICTA has recently extended our help to a professional athlete.  This athlete has asked us to share her story. We have prayerfully debated if it is even our place to do this.  To share this story would be an honor, but how could we do it justice.  How could we with our limited resources be sensitive enough to her pain, while also being thoroughly honest with the causes of the pain.
We've decided to just begin here, learn from what works and what doesn't, and grow.
This story is not unique to (**1)  The abuse she suffered is common worldwide.  We will attempt to make a clear distinction between (**1) and her actions.
ICTA involvement all began on Christmas Eve 2005 as Coach Scotty sent (**1) an email, though they had not had contact of any type in over 2 years,   Scotty had previously just learned she had quit tennis and he was concerned.  Miraculously, the email sent by Coach Scotty was used by God to interevene a possible suicide by (**1)  She had received hope.
Three weeks later she arrived in the USA.  As she explained, theabuse (**1) had suffered for years led to a massive depression, then to dangerous addictive anti-depressant drugs.  These drugs can cause a person to act out physical violence such as 'cutting", which she did, and to suicide, which was intervened by the email.
At (**1) request on January 21,  ICTA agreed to place pictures of her on our web site.  At her further request a week later ICTA agreed to offer an international platform via our web site and ministry by which ICTA would tell her story.
The story of (**1) life is not a happy one.  Yet, it is the story God ordained when time began.  (**1) stated she wanted others to know of her life to help them learn from her pain and mistakes.
We found her intentions honest & commendable, thus agreed.
This message will be presented through a variety of means during the upcoming months, starting with what you are viewing. We will attempt to make the message more readable, accurate, and understandable via time.  Several written articles and stories will be published with each offering a unique perspective.  (**1) has hand-written her story as well.  She wrote this after being at ICTA for 3.5 of her 6 weeks allocated.
In agreeing to train (**1) for her comeback, Coach Scotty took on one of the most difficult assignments possible.
She was an angry, pain-filled person using a powerful drug.  Scotty's house would go on suicide alert.  Theabuse (**1) had endured had accumulated and changed her from the girl he knew several years ago.  This (**1) was the result of pain which led to a potential suicide.  Along the way she lost her values, morals, and standards.  Just like most of us have at some point in time.
(**1) training period with ICTA began January 16.   ICTA support past March 3 would be determined by (**1) ability to control herself, and become a more healthy and trustworthy individual.
Here is a quote from Coach Scotty ...
"(**1) talent has never been an issue.  She should have been top 20 WTA long ago. She has always had all the physical tools needed to be great.  But, listen up folks.  She's hurting.  She's been used and abused.
Her body, mind, and spirit are worn out.  This girl wanted to die just a few weeks ago.  She was a goner, done, through.  Then God showed up and she has her new start.  I have no idea why he picked me.  I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Not everybody gets that new start. Let's hope she appreciates it."
As (**1) unfolded her story, she explained her history of being abused as a teen. This included mental and sexualabuse.
(**1) relationship with her mother was in shambles, they did not speak any longer, and she began living with a missionary family in France to survive. These missionaries belong to a religion which believes a person can lose their salvation in Christ.
(**1) was forced to financially support her entire family since age 14 by playing pro tennis.  (**1) claimed she is broke financially.  As such, ICTA agreed to sponsor her complete training, food, room & board, transportation, roundtrip flight from Europe, and to help her with certain financial needs to get her started on the WTA pro tour again.
In speaking about her painful depression, (**1) openly discussed her sexual exploits while clubbing in France during her depression.  Though she showed remorse and embarrassment for her behavior, serious real-life questions have arisen about pregnancy, STDs, and HIV.  This is a very serious situation.
(**1)has been into "cutting", which means she slices her arm with a razor blade.  She was taking 200% the legal US prescribable amount of Paxil, which had been prescribed in France.  This will be discussed in detail in another article.  SSRIs, such as Paxil, hold an FDA warning about causing users to act out suicidal thoughts.  Paxil is highly addicitve, can permanently alter a person's brain, can cause users to physically harm themselves, etc.
In a beautiful moment in church for both Scotty and (**1), the cuts she inflicted on her left arm described her mental anguish.
(**1) says she doesn't know her biological father, so she has started calling Coach Scotty her tennis "dad."
"You know, that's great!" says Scotty when he learned of this. "I have no problem with that.  But, things in her life will have to change.  If I'm to be "Dad", she must get control of herself.  She will have boundaries set that she will have to live by.  Probably for the first time.  If she crosses them she will be asked to leave.  (**1) is hard-core messed up.  The sex, drugs, and partying will completely have to stop for her to stay here.  One argument with me about that garbage and (**1) and I will part ways.  I refuse to empower her destructive habits."
Spiritually, (**1) was far from God.  Last Fall she claims she began denying God existed.  Who could blame her considering all she had been through and considering who was guiding her spiritually?  (**3) belonged to a religion which believes a person can lose their salvation in Christ.  She had been living with the Pastor of the church.
 Her former tennis coach, (**4) of France, is a missionary of that church. (**1) informed us (**4) claimed to receive a revelation from God telling him that (**1) must lose her upcoming 2005 Wimbledon 2nd round match against  (**2) so that (**1)could give God the glory from her victory.
She says (**4) then sat with (**2) family while (**1) lost 9-7 in the 3rd set.  (**1) claims she could have won the match easily in the 2nd set.  Yet, did not want to upset God.  Did (**4) receive a revelation from God ordering (**1) to lose?  You be the judge.
In addition to (**4), (**1) states she traveled to 2005 Wimbledon with Reverend Bob Kraft.  Both men were her spiritual advisors working as a team together at Wimbledon.  Bob Kraft and (**4) also run a Christian summer tennis camp in France together.  This "revelation from God" event by these men will be further detailed in another forum.
(**1) discussed in detail how this specific "revelation from God" event was the final harmful & abusive situation by men in her life that led her into a depression, during which time she fell to her lowest point.
 "Listen folks, I'm coaching a powder keg of pain waiting to explode."  says Scotty.  "This isn't fun and giggles. This beautiful, talented girl has lived an unfair life and has been used andabused by nearly everyone she has closely known.  I've just stepped into the picture.  I'm the new guy and I've basically just met her. She'll be with me for at least 6-7 weeks, if she behaves herself then we'll see if I want to continue past my original commitment.  Coaching a top player is hard enough, much less one that was nearly destroyed by her former coaches and by the tennis system that abused her!"
 "I'm taking a huge, huge risk helping a girl in this condition.  But, I know God has a plan and God is in control.  To get her back in shape for the WTA Tour will take a heck of a lot of work!  That will take another  miracle.  She is not a healthy person in any aspect.  I just want to give her the chance she's prayed for.  I care about this kid, but his will definitely be one of the hardest assignments of my life.  I've welcomed her into my home for the next 6-7 weeks to give her a chance to come back from near suicide... I'm receiving no compensation from her.  This is coming from the heart and from obedience to Christ who has always lifted me when I have fallen."
This is our beginning in sharing her message.  This message has turned complex.  (**1) trained for her full term.  Her first workout lasted a short 19 minutes of mini-tennis before she became exhausted.  Less than 7 weeks later (**1) was splitting sets while losing 6-4 in the 3rd set to a top WTA player during the 6th largest pro tournament in the world.  (**1) is alive, and she is back on the WTA Pro Tour full time.  Great job, Scotty.  You did it.
Scotty has decided against further working with (**1).  When and if he chooses he will share his story.
It is difficult to invest incredible amounts of time into another person, then have that person betray you.  Though the Bible continually teaches of God's people behaving this way, even after He gave them non-stop proof of His love, it can be difficult when this happens to us personally.
"We love you Coach Scotty.  You did it when no one else could.  You risked your heart for her when no one else would.  Because of your discernment, (**1) is still alive today.  Because of your coaching ability,(name left out by Pastor Bob) is prepared and playing with the best.  Because of your integrity, (name left out by Pastor Bob) has realized she has a drug addiction to Paxil.  Because of your willingness to disciple, (**1) is reading God-ordained books.  Because of your big heart, (**1) has a new start."  Rachel and Melody Snelen,  ICTA Staff 6+ Years
Good luck (**1).  God ordains all of us for our specific roles.  You have fulfilled yours.  Now, may your story reach millions.

Part 7: Satan's Foot Soldier- The Lies of Phil
Article 7: Satan's Foot Soldier's
The Light Shines on the Lies of Phil
Welcome!  This web page is dedicated to protecting those people who have been lied to by Phil's newest articles.  Awesome to have you here.  In Phil's latest lies, he is attempting to mislead you by:
1.  Stating ICTA does not have a tennis academy in Florida.
2.  He is attempting to manipulate you into thinking I haveabused two of my students!
It is always good to catch Phil in more lies and I look forward to exposing him.
How Do We Know Phil:
*ICTA refused to hire Mr. (name left out by Pastor Bob) in 2002 as a tennis pro.   He was attempting to leave Greece with a 12 year old boy he had just met after taking a job at a 2 court resort in Greece just weeks earlier.  Scary.
*ICTA then refused to wire transfer over $25,000 demanded by Mr. (**5).  He had stated he could help ICTA "become legitimate" if we sent him the money.  ICTA is legitimate.  Blackmail is illegal.
*Mr. (**5)' left voice messages on ICTA voicemail threatening physical violence towards ICTA staff.  These have been preserved for our future use in a criminal case against Mr. (**5).
*Mr. (**5) is not known by any professional tennis teaching associations.  The United States Professional Tennis Association and the Professional Tennis Registry have never heard of him.
*Mr. (**5) claims his father, who he claims was a baptist preacher, was used and abused over and over by Christian missionaries staying at his house when Mr. (**5)'s was a young boy who were " too lazy to get a real job."
*Mr. (**5)' business partner Mr. (**6) fraudulently attempted to gain $2000 from ICTA in an internet money scam.  Mr.(**6) pretended to be a woman needing $2000 to start a Christian web site.  Mr. (**6) is a man in his 50's from Austria.
*Mr. (**5) claims to be also be a Christian minister.  His most recent voicemail (April 2005) states he is preaching with a group of PH.D.'s in Georgia, USA.  Mr. (**5) repeatedly uses the "F" and the "S" word in this recorded message and brags about how much money he is making from trusting congregations.
*Mr. (**5) attempts to discover all ICTA tennis academy students names, phone numbers, and addresses. This man is dangerous.
*Mr. (**5) has partnered with an athiest web site designer/photographer.  Mr. (**7) has freedom to write whatever he wishes, accurate or not, on the web site owned by this atheist.
Summary:
The simple fact is Mr. (**5)' behavior frightens people.  He continually demands information from ICTA.  We refuse to give him information.   We are forced to protect ICTA Missions, ICTA Christian Tennis Academy students, ICTA Staff, and  ICTA Volunteers from this odd man.  His claims against ICTA are baseless.  It is he we are protecting ICTA from.
(**5) uses his odd and potentially dangerous behavior to force ICTA to NOT divulge information to him.  Mr. (**5) then uses this to state ICTA has something to hide and thus cannot be trusted.
Editor's note (editor's writing in red):  This is a copy of the most recent statement/ writing by Joy (**8), who was once an enemy of ICTA, though is now a friend and supporter. Phil (**5) had used a web site (owned by an outspoken atheist) to promote his misleading agenda of lies against ICTA.
This published article by Mrs (**7) brings the light on both the atheist web site owner and on Jeff. This was written back in 2003!  But Phil doesn't want you to know about this article as it would make him look pretty stupid...
Here is a quote from the article...
"As previously mentioned, I am personally and emotionally involved with the ICTA. My name is Mrs. Joy (**8), I am the Mother of Rachel Snelen and Melody Snelen.
What I CAN verify as absolute fact is that Melody and Rachel are enthusiastic associates of Scott Paschal in the ICTA and are pursuing worthy goals they established years ago----to be the best they can be in tennis careers as a testimony of God's greatness, light and love. Scott Paschal is their mentor and friend and that is the extent of their relationship. As their Mother, I can also state absolutely as fact that I am extremely happy for them and admire them as they sacrificially strive towards building an enriching and rewarding life of service to others--and, I am very proud of their notable achievements and competitive and determined spirit in the midst of seemingly insurmountable difficulties."
Now the entire article...
Much has been discussed on this message board (the one owned by the atheist supporting Phil in regard to what's fictional or fact with issues related to the agenda and validity of the ICTA.
Perhaps we need to evaluate or analyze what's factual or fiction in regard to the intentions of (atheist) Jeff in having provided his message board as a forum for criticism of Scott Paschal and the ICTA.
Is Jeff truly an objective outsider only interested in the welfare of those in the tennis community---or the purely selfless concern of the safety of young people under the tutelage of a tennis organization with "Christian" in it's name?
Maybe it's time for us to be more objective ourselves when we consider Jeff.
( It was good for someone substantial to begin to show the manipulation of information by  Jeff in his slanderous and atheistic agenda led attempt to "protect" children from ICTA.    Unfortunately, after having stood up to Mr. (**5) control and manipulation tactics, Mrs. (**8)  now lives in fear of this man."
Last year when I first discovered one of (**7)' web sites, I read a posting in which he berated the need for or purpose of a tennis organization that was a fellowship of athletes who not only loved tennis, but shared a common faith in Christ which motivated them to strive towards athletic excellence. I responded to his analysis by voicing understanding and support of such an organization. The founder of the ICTA, Scott Paschal, and I had many differences of perspective and opinion---much of this due to my being a Mother, older than Scott- whose tennis knowledge, devotion and convictions sometimes conflicted with my own. However, I knew enough about the focus of such an endeavor, to understand the positive benefits that a faith based organization could achieve. The ICTA basically served to encourage discipline, devotion, and had a worthy purpose for young people who delighted in the incomparable enjoyment of serving Christ.
My interest in the ICTA was profoundly personal and while my convictions were of a nature that I could not approve of many of Scott Paschal's decisions, much of his pursuits were beneficial --and therefore, I saw no reason or value to continue any covert attempts ( important admission  by Mrs. (**8) that she did, indeed, secretly and covertly, while still an enemy of ICTA, attempt to harm the credibility of ICTA and Scotty.  this will be explained  in more detail later.)  or to pursue actions that would diminish the validity or effectiveness of the ICTA.
However, while indicating support of the ICTA in my postings to tennis message boards, I also introduced questions and considerations from the perspective of a concerned parent that I sincerely at the time believed deserved attention. (pretended to be someone she wasn't on Kraft's message board in order to do ICTA harm.)  Although my concerns were not adequately addressed, I was secure in the knowledge that the intention of the ICTA was to become a positive influence in the tennis community and had a sincere and worthy purpose.
My initial questions and concerns resurfaced in April of this year when I was introduced to an article posted on the tennis.info web site which questioned the validity of the ICTA as being fact or fiction. (**5)and his atheist mentor!) The arguments were convincing and disturbing enough for me to have a renewed interest which motivated me to want to respond. (She was still mad at Scotty and was looking for partners.) Although my personal connections with the ICTA had never severed, my differences in opinion with Scott Paschal did not warrant any regular communication or involvement with his activities other than checking updates on the ICTA website. (ie. She and Scotty didn't like each other.)
However, ignorance is not always "bliss"--as the saying goes. What we don't know CAN hurt us. The "Fact or Fiction" article and additional banter between those debating the ICTA concept and Scott's integrity, convincingly portrayed to me a potentially harmful organization with a modus operandum inconsistent with Christian principles. ( She bought Jeff's lies hook, line, and sinker.  Though mainly because of her hatred for Scotty and her desire to see Scotty ruined!)  In response, I wrote passionate compositions to post on this website ( the tennis.info... owned by the atheist) encouraging awareness and pursuit of holding Scott Paschal and the ICTA accountable.
REGRETTABLY, I accepted all as "fact" what Jeff had presented in the ICTA article---when I should have at least considered the POSSIBILITY that interwoven between the words was perhaps a fictional element as well. ( She trusted  Jeff  and Phil.  She regrets this terribly.  She bought into satan's half truths he is so famous for.  She believed the 50% truths Jeff and Phil gave as their proof of facts!)
My motivation for what I deemed "justice" was fueled by what possibly could be considered exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims on the ICTA website. But, even Jeff mentioned that all of us are guilty at times of magnifying our accomplishments or embellishing actualities to elevate our esteem amongst peers. Frankly, I must admit that it could be a valid argument that the ICTA was misleading when listing membership accountability---but, as athletes---not writers--they willingly admit to being inadequate when trying to express through the written word objectives and purposes with clarity and complete understanding. (Hey, our web site was new and was being developed and updated daily as we created new ministries.  No one around here is a computer guy! Now our web site is awesome!) However, to their credit, they were certainly responsive in recognizing the need to remove any misleading or questionable or braggadocios revelations from their website. They have demonstrated how they are more than willing to grow and learn from their errors in judgment.
Because of my sincere desire to help anyone seemingly "misled" by the ICTA, I not only created several postings to the message board, but I also began correspondence with Jeff because I truly believed he was being objective in his analysis of the situation, understanding of my personal interest and desired a positive resolution.(oops... partnered with an atheist while she was mad at Scotty!  Sound similar Jeff?)  TRAGICALLY, I never questioned whether his motives and "concern" were indeed, "fact" or "fiction." Jeff enjoyed people trusting him!  He always played innocent. (Heck, the guy has had 5 wives and his latest one is about 25 years younger than him... he must be pretty convincing at something!!) I was emotionally involved because of my personal association with the ICTA( Scotty coached her daughters and had accused her of being a child abuser.) ----and unfortunately, emotional turmoil often clouds our vision----so much so that we don't see clearly things as they really are to the extent that we are able to accurately determine what is "fact" --and what is basically "fiction." ( she trusted the  manipulative articles from Jeff and Phil.)
I assumed Jeff had become my "friend"---interested in "justice." ---genuinely concerned with the welfare of those at the Players Club and those involved with the ICTA. He cultivated my trust so much that I willingly provided him with confidential information that would aid in his "worthy" cause........... However, recently I met with Jeff who had initiated such an encounter because he wanted to "help" me. It had been implicated that I was a "child abuser" and Jeff convinced me that I could put a stop to these false allegations with HIS help----accusations that he indicated to me had been instigated by Scott. (Funny, Jeff was using her to slander Scotty and it ended up showing his true colors as a manipulator of information.)
In the course of the conversation at our meeting, the question was asked of him as to what he would do if he stood before God. His reply was that he "would slap HIM in the face." Now the existence of God is not just a vital truth in the Christian community, but His reality is acknowledged with nearly all people of faith. How can someone with such a low and disrespectful attitude towards the One who encompasses the whole of creation and foundation of purposeful life---be TRUSTED to be objective to determine what could be fact or fiction with ANY controversial issue. This revelation resulted in my beginning to question Jeff's' agenda in pursuing Scott Paschal and the International Christian Tennis Association----as well as his TRUE motivation in cultivating my trust so much that I shared personal letters and items to" help" in his pursuit of "justice." (Joy is a Christian, though oppressed by satan's attacks on her life, she does love Christ, and in her eyes she finally saw satan face to face in the form of Jeff). It was a breakthrough moment in her life and in her ability to change from being our enemy to being our special friend.)
Because those with deep convictions---especially one's who identify themselves as Christians,---are so anxious for others to enjoy this wonderful hope of our faith, we are known to enthusiastically trust and believe in others---and--often do so at the expense of NOT being as discerning of character as we should be. When the TRUE character of Jeff eventually became evident, I began to analyze more critically just what about him was "Fact" and what was "Fiction." ( He was full of garbage and was shown to be a master manipulator of information.)
Subsequently, I decided NOT to be a part of his "case" against Scott Paschal and the ICTA. I seriously questioned his true motives and saw no positive benefit of his questionable pursuit of "justice." (He proved to her he was a manipulator and out for the good of no one but himself and his anti Christian tennis agenda!!"
I made it clear that I wanted NO part of what he suggested I do. Jeff angrily reacted and when I asked that my personal items be returned, he has refused to do so. Personally, I now feel threatened by him as he seems to want me to somehow "pay" for disagreeing with him. (It is a shame he is allowed to do this to good people.  There are others since this article had been  written who have come to ICTA with new of Jeff's highly questionable behaviors."
Understandably, I now urge everyone to seriously reconsider the nature of Jeff's revelations of Scott Paschal and the ICTA-----as INDEED being far more FICTIONAL than fact.
As previously mentioned, I am personally and emotionally involved with the ICTA. My name is Mrs. Joy (**8), I am the Mother of Rachel Snelen and Melody Snelen. What I CAN verify as absolute fact is that Melody and Rachel are enthusiastic associates of Scott Paschal in the ICTA and are pursuing worthy goals they established years ago----to be the best they can be in tennis careers as a testimony of God's greatness, light and love. Scott Paschal is their mentor and friend and that is the extent of their relationship. As their Mother, I can also state absolutely as fact that I am extremely happy for them and admire them as they sacrificially strive towards building an enriching and rewarding life of service to others--and, I am very proud of their notable achievements and competitive and determined spirit in the midst of seemingly insurmountable difficulties.
Now, it is also a fact that Christians are not perfect---just forgiven---which of course includes myself, my daughters, Scott Paschal and others involved with the ICTA. We are all growing in wisdom each day---we have each made mistakes, erred in judgment, and fallen short in the proper reaction to conflict.
But every challenging experience is moving all of us---and the ICTA in a positive direction that truly can result in a remarkable difference amongst those with whom we share our lives---as we fulfill our personal goals and serve in the tennis community.
FACT OR FICTION---YOU DECIDE!
Finally, my days of contributing to message boards have ended.
If you want to contact me in response to this message ,my phone number is 817-478-3333. However, keep in mind that all calls will be recorded---as I've learned the hard way that in trusting in the untrustworthy, I could jeopardize the well being of those I care about the most and must do all to guard against these threats. It's tragic that now I must work to protect myself from Jeff. However, in spite of this, I truly wish him the best in all of his endeavors----for Christians--and all those who love God---really DO love our enemies --(while at the same time doing all we can to prevent their attempts to do us harm).
end.
Finally:
Regardless of the attempts of Mr. (**8) to mislead you, the International Christian Tennis Association headquarters is located in Palm Coast, Florida.  Our Christian Tennis Academy is also located in Palm Coast, Florida.  Please visit our web page on this web site for more information.
God bless!  And thank you to our friends in New Zealand for bringing this article by Mr.(**5) to our attention and for protecting one of our students he tried to contact.

Title:  Austrian Arseni (**6) $ Fraud!
Message: The International Christian Tennis Association, www.christiantennis.net, is unfortunately being forced to expose Mr. Phil (**6) for who and for what he is.
This is not enjoyable. In our dealings with this man, ICTA has attempted every possible avenue of patience. ICTA has been forced to seek criminal prosecution against Mr. Phil (**6) for his crimes against ICTA . These crimes include audio taped threats to enjoy physical violence towards the founder of the ICTA. Mr. (**6) is additionally involved in an international internet $ fraud with his business partner, Mr. Arseni (**6). Their felony fraud includes attempts to illegally solicit $2000 US from ICTA in 2002 via a fraudulent internet website scheme. Mr. (**5) business partner posed as a woman innocently raising donations for a new Christian website! Mr (**5)and his wolf in sheep's clothing business partner have been caught and exposed for their felony international internet $ fraud against the International Christian Tennis Association.
For well over a year and a half, ICTA staff and ICTA Christian tennis academy students have lived in fear of the wrath of Mr. Phil (**5). We are now through living in fear of him. We know his dark side. We know what he is like when no one is looking. He is a man to be feared for he is a man who is willing to cause physical violence towards another. Since ICTA first had contact with this man, ICTA has been forced to hide our students from Mr. (**5). We have been forced to hide our schedule of events and our future ministry expansion plans. Two of our female Christian tennis academy students are absolutely terrified of Phil (**5)! We are all completely through living in terror of him. The bully has been caught. The bully is being exposed. The bully, Phil (**5), will deal with a court of law for his crimes.
Mr. (**5) has crossed the line from the odd, disgruntled tennis pro who was completely denied employment by the ICTA in 2002 to someone who calls and leaves dangerous, terror filled messages to the founder of the ICTA! Mr (**5)claims to be liked and trusted by all. This begs for the question to be asked? Have they all heard the swearing, psychotic audio taped voice of this former "pastor" as he promises to enjoy his future physical violence towards the founder of a Christian sports ministry?
This has all been completely captured on audio tape in his own words. His name clearly and repeated given. You cannot manipulate the facts on this one, Mr. (**5) His gift at manipulating via the written word will not help him now. His own spoken words will not be changed or manipulated to fit his needs. You have finally been caught and exposed, sir.
What is on display here is not Mr (**5) ability to teach beginning tennis and develop a local tennis program. These are very simple things and are not in question. Dozens of beginning tennis pros worldwide could build a successful a program on two courts?
What is being brought out into the open, questioned and exposed is the angry, dark side of Mr Phil (**5) which has committed illegal crimes.
His self-proclaimed business partner, Mr. (**6) of Austria, committed illegal international money fraud via the internet for the amount of $2000 US! Phil (**5) business partner, Mr. Arseni (**6), committed this felony fraud as Mr. (**6) pretended to be a woman attempting to raise money for a new Christian internet website! Mr. (**5) and Mr. (**6) committed this crime against the International Christian Tennis Association in 2003! Both men have been caught. Both men will be dealt with according to the law.
To Phil (**5):
You and your partner have committed international felony $ fraud against a Christian ministry..
Felony international money fraud does not happen with most men, Mr. (**5). You are the only "pastor" who is involved with this that we know. You are the only "pastor" who calls in what sometimes sounds like a drunken stupor and leaves ICTA hate messages! You are the only pastor we know of whom we completely refuse to endorse in any way!
Don't wonder why you were refused employment by the International Christian Tennis Association in 2002! We knew not to hire you after only 2 emails, Mr. (**5). You were in Greece for a matter of a few weeks when you contacted ICTA looking for a new job! You claimed you just found a 12 year old boy who "will play pro tennis" and then you were skipping out of the country! How is that dedication? How is that responsible? What kind of man meets a 12 year old and then attempts to permanently leave the country with the child within weeks?? We refused you employment for these and many other reasons!!
Mr Phil (**5) is a man who has a very dark side. As it is now being exposed, ICTA will continue to suffer his wrath. He will continue to write his manipulative articles and anonymous messageboard postings. We are completely ready for this man. His lies, his slander, his verbal attacks on our female staff, his verbal attacks on our Christian tennis academy students, his terror filled phone messages promising physical violence these dysfunctional lifestyle patterns of Mr. Phil (**5) are not acceptable.
The International Christian Tennis Association is a non profit sports ministry which spreads the Gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide through the sport of tennis. ICTA currently has registered members in over 574 cities in 29 countries around the world. We own a Christian tennis academy in Florida. ( In fact, our Christian tennis academy trains one of the top junior players in all of Greece. This young player is actually quite famous in Greece. And, No, Mr. (**5) you are not trusted with his name, address and phone number. We have nothing to prove to someone such as you!)
Further, ICTA has developed a collegiate ministry called SERVE HARD. The ICTA plans, develops and implements large scale mission trips to the largest tennis events in the world! We have our own line of Christian tennis clothing, an internet ministry which has reached people in over 130 countries worldwide, and a tennis missionary training center in Palm Coast, Florida.
In 2004, ICTA has founded Tennis Chaplains International. This ICTA ministry will place Chaplains at ATP and WTA tennis events worldwide as well as find Christian housing for select pro players, their families and their coaches. To learn more, visit www.christiantennis.net.
During 2004 and 2005, the International Christian Tennis Association will reach over 3,000,000 around the world. ICTA and all it accomplishes began in the imagination of ICTA founder, Scotty Paschal. This giving man has dedicated his life to speading the word of God worldwide against all odds despite intense persecution.
Yes, ICTA realizes why people like Mr. Phil (**5) and Mr. Arseni (**6) exist. We understand their goals, their intentions, their ability to manipulate and persuade. As these types of people begin to commit crimes against Christian ministries worldwide, they are sometimes caught and punished according to applicable law.
ICTA remains focused on being the world leader on the development of Christian tennis ministry. Our goals have not changed. We want people to have the opportunity to hear about the love of Christ and the opportunity to spend eternity in Heaven.
If you have any questions or comments, you are completely free to contact ICTA at your convenience. All will be kept in the strictest of confidence. You need not be afraid of Phil (**5). He will not know you have contacted ICTA. You may call or email at any time. ICTA will be in Greece soon and would like to meet with each of you.
We are here for each of you as needed?

Title:  Two $10,000US Business Offers For Jeff by ICTA!!
Message
I find it highly interesting you would run from my earlier opportunity to earn $10,000 cash if you could prove your information was correct.
Your reasoning is this is a silly game. This is not a silly game to me. I have offered you the chance to share the "information" you have received from your sources in order to earn $10,000 cash. I know your sources are not accurate you know your sources are not accurate, thus you scamper away.
I have a new business opportunity for you to consider? this one is another $10,000 cash deal!
You and your sources claim my female staff members were NOT certified as tennis officials at the time of the tournament. Let?s make another business deal, Jeff. Your information you used to harm the reputation of my female staff vs the facts of their certification qualifications! I am willing to pay you $10,000 if your information is correct.
In this business deal, you will be paid cash is your information is right or you will pay $10,000 if your information is wrong and both of these fine Christian women were currently certified as tennis officials during that tournament!
It is a simple business deal for you to understand. Especially as you seem to STILL stand behind your information as facts.
Your sources claim my female staff members did not have qualifications to officiate at the tournament! Lets put your sources information to the test again. I know for a fact both women had their current officiating certifications during that particular tournament. You felt obligated to spatter your inaccurate information on your website and to the Director of the tennis facility resulting in a loss of income at that location for both of these women.
At the time I found your decision quite cowardly and petty.
Both of my female staff members who officiated at this tournament had officiating experience up to the professional level! Their certifications were up to date and they were both doing a fine job!
You came in and manipulated the entire situation by spreading gossip and lies and of course by using your inaccurate sources as your truth and honesty of information.
This is very easy to resolve. I offer you a deal. If your information is correct and both of these fine women were not qualified as certified officials at the time of the tournament then I will pay you $10,000 cash for your information and I will make sure my staff keeps their certifications up to date in the future!
But, Jeff, if my information shows their certifications to officiate during that tournament were up to date, then you donate $10,000 cash to the ICTA.
Your false information you innocently reported? has caused a loss of income for both of these women. You also hurt their reputation. This upset certain people, Jeff. Though I simply found it cowardly, certain people became motivated to stand with me.
Now, as you sit by your computer monitor and read what I type know you have officially been given the opportunity to earn $20,000US of my cash within the last 48 hours simply by placing your information next to my information in a business deal and showing which information is correct.
I am willing to back the honesty and integrity of my information to the amount of $20,000!
This is your quote I have no wish to meet with you - either where your staff officiated (without having the qualifications to do so, I am advised - but who cares about these trivialities any more?) or anywhere else. We have nothing to discuss.
Many people care about these fine Christian women, Jeff. More than you can comprehend. You lied to the Director. You manipulated information. Do you truly feel you are objective only searching for  honesty and truth while you slander people 1/3 of your age. This is not trivial?, Jeff.
You say, We have nothing to discuss.
