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.
I say, Lets put $10,000 on the information you used to disqualify/slander my staff members as certified officials.
I'm even willing to go to the tournament location and sit with the tournament Director while he watches with scrutiny who ends up paying whom. Maybe it can go on his new website, Jeff.
I can have a local attorney work pro bono to write up any contract we need. I am ready to pay you either $10,000 or $20,000 or both depending on which information you want make a business deal on.
I see there is someone named Bob K? posting now. Bob K call me at 817 239 3185. If you are legitimate I am willing to speak with you in person at a location of your choice. I am willing to sit with you for hours and discuss all relevant topics as needed. I am willing to do this, if, at the end of our conversation, I have your full support both written and verbal if I have won your trust based on the information I present.
Jeff, I have $20,000 cash ready to pay you right now if your sources information on the Championships and your sources information on the current certification of my staff as officials at that tournament are correct.
By the way, Jeff, I would think it would take Phil at the most 30 minutes to have called the people he claims contacted me on his behalf and then have them call, fax, or email you.
How many days has it been?

Kraft Facts
Dear Friend,
We appologize if you, too,  have been misled by Bob Kraft of founder of what is called Tennis Ministry International.
In January 2006 ICTA  was informed of highly questionable activites of Bob Kraft as a self-placed Chaplain at pro tennis tournaments.  These questionable activities began to be exposed to ICTA by (**1)  when she arrived from France.  Bob Kraft is reacting in anger against Scott Paschal for ICTA's decision to form a committee to study chaplain needs on the WTA and ATP pro tours.
Ms.  (**1) began by strongly saying she does not like Bob Kraft and never has.  When she was a teen and a new Christian, she didn't know anything was wrong with Bob Kraft as she assumed he was a good person because he called himself a pastor or reverend.  Now as a woman she stated Bob Kraft did absolutely nothing as a chaplain at the Grand Slam events in which she helped him gain entry. (**1) strongly spoke of Reverend Bob Kraft as being a user, a man without a message, weak willed, insecure,  and unequipped to minister to anyone; while constantly ignoring her when she personally needed counsel.  She felt Bob Kraft used her to meet famous people such as Mary (**2), whom he tells everyone he knows in an attempt to make himself look legitimate as a minister.
This was coming from a girl who spent  years traveling with him and her coach to pro events.
She claimed Bob Kraft is not respected or recognized by players as a man of God.  As she shared these thoughts and experiences with us over the weeks, ICTA became alarmed.   For many years ICTA has focused on our own mission and has assumed Bob Kraft was doing good work, though he has not once in our few interactions treated ICTA with kindness and love.
After (**1) warnings, Scott Paschal the contacted a Pastor of a large church in the USA who has had weeks of personal interaction with Mr. Kraft.
The pastor was very suprised to hear from us!  for some reason Reverend Bob Kraft stated to the pastor that he was the only person in the world who ministered in tennis at pro tournaments!  The pastor was shocked when he viewed our web site.  The pastor wondered why would Bob Kraft lie so blatently.  So did we.
This made for serious questions.  Why would Reverend Bob Kraft lie so blatantly and obviuosly to a legitimate pastor of the God-centered church offering him assistance?  Who really is Bob Kraft and is he someone who can be trusted to tell the truth?  What effect is Bob Kraft having on the spiritual well-being of players?
Instead of hearing praises from this pastor of Bob Kraft's ministry to the players at the US Open, the pastor shared many of the same concerns (**1) had about Bob Kraft.  The pastor politely said Bob Kraft was a real pain and often was pushy and rude, even making both he and his wife do Bob Kraft's personal laundry.
The pastor then sent a church staff member with Bob Kraft to the US Open for an entire day.  This associate pastor stated that Bob Kraft does absolutely nothing as a chaplain.   Bob Kraft has no interaction with anyone.  The associate pastor was shocked, as was the pastor.
Reverend Bob Kraft had attempted to stay for free at the church for over a month!  He wanted free housing for himself and several others.  We felt really bad for the pastor for his experiences and shared with him how ICTA has had to follow behind Bob Kraft cleaning up his messes for years.
We explained how along the way, Bob Kraft has attacked Scott Paschal whenever Scott asked him serious questions.  Even now, as Bob Kraft has learned of Scott Paschal's interaction with this pastor and with (**1), Bob Kraft has began attacking Scott Paschal personally. He will attack those who questions him.
The church had agreed a year earlier to allow Bob Kraft to accept donations through the church's non profit status, but with an agreement between both men that Bob Kraft would legitimize his ministry with the US Government as an IRS registered not for profit charity within 1 year.
Tennis Ministry International has been around for nearly 10 years, yet has never been accountable to anyone.  Not suprisingly, Bob Kraft did not do as he had agreed.  The church pastor told Scott Paschal he would no longer enable Bob Kraft to use the church as a front for solicitation of donations.
The pastor stated Bob Kraft had him drive him everywhere as his personal driver, without thought of the pastor's busy schedule.
ICTA thanked the pastor for his time and moved on to others who know Bob Kraft personally.  We had spoken with a top player, a pastor of a church, now we decided to speak with a top tour coach.
We desperately had hoped to hear positive statements from this coach.  Unfortunately, the coach who has had personal interaction with Reverend bob Kraft confirmed our concerns.  He stated he will never again go to Bob Kraft for counsel of any type.  This coach claims Bob Kraft is not qualified to counsel at all and should not be attempting to do so on tour.
With this information began forming a committee to investigate chaplain needs on tour.
Bob Kraft is reacting angrily to our investigation of chaplain needs on tour.  He has written many half-truths and gross exaggerations in an attempt to discredit ICTA before his personal activities are exposed.  Bob Kraft has shown over the last 6 years to be a highly competitive and territorial person.
Yet, we have no intent on writing about each of our personal negative experiences with this man.  Bob Kraft has treated ICTA terribly and we certainly have our own thoughts about him.  But, airing out our thoughts publicly would do nothing but harm real ministry in tennis.
Satan loves to pit Christians against each other and we refuse to play his game.  Instead, in this section we will only offer the personal experiences of others with Bob Kraft.  We hope this section in some small way can help others hold Bob Kraft accountable for his actions.  We will pray for Bob Kraft daily.  If you have had positive experiences we would be glad to hear from you.  In fact, we really need to hear from you because what you have read here today is just a small sample of what we could write.
Our primary concern and focus is to discover positive ways of providing a fulltime Chaplain to travel on the women's WTA tour and another fulltime chaplain to travel on the men's ATP tour.   A chaplain should be held highly accountable, not be a lone wolf who answers to no one and reacts in anger to those who questions his activities.
ICTA prefers to locate a chaplain with many years of experience, a seminary degree, and a chaplain certificate.  This chaplain will need to form a not for profit organization registered with the IRS, and be held accountable to a governing Board of Directors.
ICTA will provide no defense to Reverend Kraft's misleading and grossly exaggerated statements and will simply trust God to work in Reverend Kraft's angry heart.    ICTA loves anyone and everyone working hard to share the Gospel.    When the Apostle Paul was in prison, he was informed of many negative things being said about him.  Paul didn't mind.  As long as the Gospel was being preached, Paul wasn't concerned with the slander.  Please keep Reverend Kraft in your prayers.
If you would like to call ICTA and discuss any statements by Bob Kraft, we will be happy to inform you of "the other side" of the story.  We will do so while being positive and upbeat.

Kraft Facts
Bob Kraft
As far as I can tell Bob Kraft is the sole employee of Tennis Ambassadors Christian Ministry based in Hong Kong and claims himself to be a reverend.  TACM consists of a web site, a free messageboard, and an enewsletter.  Bob Kraft travels to US OPEN, French Open, Australian Open, and Wimbledon gaining access to players via persons who give him credentials.
Following the Great Commission of Christ as written in Mathew 28 is why I am on this earth.  I can appreciate anyone working hard to do the same.  When I first learned of Bob Kraft I was grateful for his work.
My first conversation via phone with him years ago was fine.  Yet, things went downhill when I felt competitiveness from him towards my dreams and vision for international tennis ministry.  Unfortunately, competition in Christian ministry is nothing new.  Same for tennis.  I will admit I was disappointed after our first few conversations, but I prayed for the best.  Ministry work is hard enough without ministers fighting among themselves.
I prayed for love and compassion to fill Bob Kraft.  I feel these two qualities should be with every pastor.    As my ministry grew Bob Kraft looked for every opportunity to support those few against the growth of ICTA.  There were three select few people who spent much time anonymously posting hateful writings about me personally on internet messageboards in an attempt to discredit ICTA.
Bob Kraft joined and supported them.  He still does.  What they meant for evil, God used for good.  Strong supporters recognized their games and came to my aid.  In this way I have learned to appreciate and love those who call themselves my enemy.
My poor experiences with Bob Kraft were confirmed by (**1) when she arrived to train.  (**1) stated she allowed Bob Kraft to travel with her and her coach.  As such, Bob Kraft gained access to players at events.  (**1) stated she no longer allows Bob Kraft access.  (**1) gave many reasons why.  I will withhold these reasons for now as I pray for love and compassion to fill the heart of Bob Kraft.  Pastor's need accountability or satan can easily can a foothold.
Based on (**1) reasons why she no longer allows Bob Kraft to travel with her, I contacted a church pastor near the a Grand Slam event who has had interaction with Bob Kraft.  This conversation left me with many concerns.  The pastor was a fun, positive man and spoke in compassion.  He is certainly a man of God who really wantes to help any missionary.  I will withhold his conversation with me from public scrutiny, yet will be able to use the insight he shared to help direct out chaplain committee.
I then contacted a top pro tour coach who has had contact with Bob Kraft.  This conversation left me with many concerns.  I came to a strong understanding from this conversation that players need a qualified chaplain they can trust and respect.
Still, though I am looking everywhere I can, I have yet to find anyone who has something positive to say about Bob Kraft's activities.  If you would like to provide a positive statement, I would gladly accept it.
A man with a ministry who has no accountability for his actions is going to have a hard time.  I know, I've been there.  When I first began ICTA it was just me and a bunch of dreams.  As ICTA grew I did everything myself.  Then, I realized I needed help to take my ministry to another level.  So I brought in accountability partners, such as the Internal Revenue Service, a certified accountant, ministry partners, and mentors.
Bob Kraft might need to do the same.  He is currently calling me a cult leader in an attempt to justify his lack of accountability.  It's probably a better idea to form a legitimate ministry, have accountability, and focus on Christ.  Calling me names is not a sign of security or legitimacy.
My main concern in all of this is for a qualified chaplain to be placed on both the WTA Tour and the ATP Tour.  These two chaplains will hold a seminary degree and/or  will have graduated from a high quality chaplaincy program.  Each chaplain will agree to serve for a minimum period of one year as to allow time to form a bond with players.
On behalf of loving and compassionate ministers in tennis wordwide, I appologise for the current harmful words and deeds weakening our combined mission to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the sport of tennis and beyond.  Please keep Reverend Bob Kraft in your prayers that he may find the love and compassion, as well as accountability, he is missing.
If you would like to discuss Bob Kraft or chaplain needs on tour, please call 386 793 0557.  I will be glad to speak with you.

my name is scott paschal.  i am the founder and current president of the international christian tennis association, which has a membership base in over 1400 cities and 44 countries.
i am a member of first baptist church of palm coast, florida.  my pastor's name is dr.dennis littleton.  icta offers large scale mission trips to pro tennis events, christian travel tours, a christian tennis academy, tennis missionary training, tennis chaplains, faith & tennis magazine, and more.
i also coach  (**1), a top pro player.  this ministry reaches hundreds of thousands for christ each year and all staff are volunteer.  we are an irs registered 501 (c)(3) not for profit organization.
i write to you today with very serious concerns about bob kraft... both his history with me, and, more importantly, his recent behavior while a chaplain on the tennis tour.  very serious allegations concerning bob kraft's behavior have reached me from both top players and coaches who have had personal interaction with kraft.
my understanding is bob kraft has partnered with your church and you officially endorse any and all behavior of bob kraft, while also taking in donations for him.
as bob kraft has absolutely no training whatsoever in pastoral counseling, nor does he have a chaplain certification from an accredited organization, nor has he obtained a degree of any type from an accredited seminary... and now, combined with all of this and more, very serious alegations of his behavior have arisen, i feel the need to contact you.
please understand bob kraft is legally liable for all advice/counseling he gives.
i understand God can call anyone at anytime to do His work, and a "degree" or "certification" does not guarantee, but i have seen a potentially dangerous pattern of behavior from bob kraft over the last 8 years, and now others are seeing it as well.
as the international christian tennis association is the main "voice" for christ in the sport of tennis worldwide, i delved into these distrubing concerns and am forming a committee to study his odd and potentially dangerous behavior.   i am also providing complete counseling for those he has mentally and spiritually harmed.
my questions to you are:
1.   how well do you know bob kraft?
2.   are you concerned if he has harmed people?
3.   are you concerned if his behavior is leading players and coaches AWAY from christ?
4.   are you willing to be held legally liable for his actions?
i can be reached at your convenience.  this is a difficult email for me to write to you, yet i know it is needed.
God bless,

I received a contact email from Rachel Snelen, ICTA's women's pro team missionary embedded inside an ITF $25,000 pro tennis tournament.
The WTA Tour is littered with Godless behavior. Sin abounds unchecked.
I received multiple text messages yesterday from Rachel Snelen, who we currently have embedded as a pro tennis player in an International Tennis Federation women's $25,000 pro tennis tournament in Hamilton, Canada. Melody Snelen is the ICTA Pro Tennis Team missionary operative for the USA this week.
ICTA is embedding Melody as a Christian missionary disguised as a pro tennis player in the Wolfe Lumber Women's $50,000 Challenger USTA Pro Circuit Event.

Welcome to the International Christian Tennis Association's blog for our Christian tennis misionaries we send out on ICTA Pro Tennis Team mission trips to the ITF and WTA pro tours worldwide!
We believe the United States Tennis Association and the International Tennis Federation are not able to do enough to properly care for the emotional and spiritual needs of young players, who often spend the majority of their teen and young adult years away from family, friends, and their church.

christian minister in tennis ministry needs support...
i learned about paxil less than 2 months ago. i am in need of advice and support. i am the founder of the international christian tennis association, which i hope doesn't offend anyone. i mention this because i am involved in international ministry and often receive emails from people who are hurting. in the nearly 8 years i have been involved in ministry i have never seen the devastating of paxil until now.
a 22 year old female former top pro tennis player, who is on paxil, was suicidal christmas eve 2005. i had emailed her that nite without knowing about her situation. she called me the next morning, christmas day, so thankful i had emailed. she said she was through with life, but my email gave her hope. i had known her years before but hadn't seen her in 2 years.
about 2 weeks later she arrived to train full time at my small tennis academy. i was devastated at how far she had fallen. her left arm was cut up from self inflicted razor blade cuts, she was bulimic and weak... and suicidal.
with her here we have all suffered from abuse by her. though i'm not sure if she did it on purpose as i learned of paxil. she would scream for no reasonable reason and attempt to exhibit control over all of us. if we did what she wanted, great. if not, we would be punished. when i agreed to coach her i did not know she was on paxil, that she into cutting, bulimic, etc.
i just wanted to help but found myself in way over my head.
her paxil prescription was running low and she asked me to get it filled. this is when i learned of paxil. i googled it and discovered it was dangerous and that she showed all the main symptoms. i immediately recommended she got off it. the pharmacist said she had been prescribed 200% the legal amount available in america! she was taking twice the legal dose!
the day i recommended she stop taking the drug, she changed even more. she became even more irrational and angry. it was odd, in the mornings she would often be very sweet, then numb in the afternoons, then angry and depressed in the evenings. we all tip-toed around her 24/7 not knowing what to expect.
she did agree she should stop the medication. but, as she began self-lowering the dose she completely lost it. she went seemingly insane. anger, rage, control, manipulation... then long tear filled oppologies for her actions!
why would anyone recommend she take 200% the legal US dosaget!?
she tore my academy apart. i am still sleep deprived from the 7 weeks of her roller coaster from hell. up and down, highs and lows. i am currently trying to deal with it by writing about it in my upcoming book. trying to get it out of my brain.
she is gone now, but she has caused a lot of damage in my ministry. paxil is so dangerous. she left here with one of my top players, a male. he had been the #1 male junior in america in 2005. his future was bright. i'm concerned for him now. he has little idea who he is with. neither did i.
i really don't know what i am asking for. just help. i am worn out, and getting depressed. i am tired and many people need me to not be tired.
when i first read the side effects of paxil, i remember freezing. i became so worried for her. the side effects of paxil and paxil withdrawl is her personality.
i don't know what to do, if there are support groups for folks like me, or what. in 8 years of sports ministry in tennis i have never seen such a devastation as this in person. i located this web site tonite as i was doing further research on paxil.
help or advice would be appreciated..

charlie, your message really reached me. thanks.
my ministry has members in over 1400 cities in 44 countries worldwide. i will plan on reaching people about the dangers of this drug. i'll be up late tonite writing an article to have placed on the front page of our web site. i am also closely connected to the most influencial christian leaders in america today. strong men of integrity who are famous christian music artists, evangelists who speak to over 500,000 people each year, founders of christian conferences.... i'll speak with them over the upcoming weeks and gain their advice.
my ministry has an upcoming magazine, Faith & Tennis Magazine. the first edition is due out this summer. i would be grateful to include information you guys feel is important. we would have room for between 1000 and 1300 words. and we'll include a link to this web site. i'd like for each of you to send me what you feel is important. we have a professional editor, so don't worry too much about sentence structure, spelling, idea arrangement, etc.
i'll also have my article on paxil placed front and center on our web site.
tomorrow, i leave for the world's 5th largest pro tournament near miami, fl. we have a vendor's booth directly inside and will reach approx 400,000 people in attendance. each person who comes to visit our booth will now receive a flyer about paxil including a link to this web site. we will be there through april 3, then possibly on to houston for a week for a famous men's pro event. 60,000+ attend that event.
i want you guys to know that i do appreciate your time reaching people in this forum. usually i am one of the ones reaching someone with help. being in need of help for something this devastating is new to me and a very humbling experience.
from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
i will send her your posts tomorrow via email. i do not believe she will come to this web site, but she will read what i email her at least once. her name is (**1) please keep her in your thoughts.
reading your posts made my eyes water up. thank you for your caring support. i need help. i know i do. i need to know how to deal with what she has done. many people depend on me each day. and i am very tired and worn out from dealing with the effects paxil has had on my former student.
to know that her harmful actions are classic examples of paxil helps me. it helps me a lot. mentally i needed to know this.
consider me on the team to educate people about paxil....
thanks guys. probably more than you know.

Re: christian minister in tennis ministry needs support...
Hi Guys,
I finished writing pretty late last night, about 2am. Which is a good 4hrs after this old guy's normal bedtime. The writing, if nothing more, was good therapy for me. As I wrote I checked back to your messageboard for support. Thanks for making me feel cared for.
With your suggestions for me I've decided to begin a process in partnership with your guidance, information, and friendship. This process will take months. During this time my hope is many people become educated and protected from addictive anti-depressant medication.
Privately, I will mention my father took his own life when I was a teen. He was addicted to a powerful prescription drug. Though it has been 22 years, I still miss him. Sometimes it feels like he was here yesterday. Time passes so quickly. As a teen I did receive counseling and I have been through the grieving process. I have dealt with his suicide in healthy ways and I am well healed. But, I still miss his hugs... I think you guys can understand.
I felt it best to educate in steps. First an article on my web site. Then prevention and addiction information inclusion in our enewsletter. Then a booklet introducing your web site and SSRI information, followed by a Faith & Tennis Magazine Article.
My ministry has started the development of a booklet to give to people. I am studying the cost of this, timeframe for production, and avenues to deliver the booklet. This will cost a lot of money to properly develop and distribute. There are several legal issues which must be worked out. I must be prepared for potential lawsuits. The potential exists that I can make a high quality 18 page booklet, about the measurements of a poker card, for around 19 cents.
A positive goal would be to produce 100,000 in 2006 for distribution at churches, athletic venues, schools, wal-mart, etc.
This would be an innitial investment of approx. $21,000, including lawyer service.
Something to think about is for you guys to come together and form a Board of Directors driven, not-for profit organization. This organization could then sponsor educational advertising at top events such as the Daytona 500, The World Series, The Super Bowl, US Open Golf, NBA Finals, US Open Tennis, etc.
Simply placing a web site address on the Daytona 500 track reaches millions nationwide during the event through television, and over 170,000 at the track.
Wouldn't a commercial during the NFL Superbowl be fun?
To truly be effective reaching people worldwide about SSRIs, will take financing. It will take a professional, methodical, business approach.
Ministers are often criticized for raising money to meet needs. Yet, there is a need for the church, God's people, to recognize the need to produce effective results.
A strong Board of Directors-driven, non profit charitable organization could form to meet the needs of educating the church in person through well written and spoken sermons, and in educating the world... through simple advertising of a well produced web site at major sporting events.
Let me know what you guys think.

Ministry Eyes 'Harvest Fields' of Pro Tennis Tournaments
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A small sports ministry hopes to serve up the gospel this week during the second largest tennis tournament in the country. Scotty Paschal, founder of the International Christian Tennis Association (ICTA), said his 11-member "short-term missions team," featuring tennis players and their families, tennis coaches and volunteers, will seek to share Jesus at the NASDAQ-100 Open tennis tournament, which begins tomorrow and runs through April 4 in Miami.
Approximately 270,000 people are expected for the event, which features the top tennis players in the world, including last year's champions, Serena Williams and Andre Agassi.
Paschal, a longtime tennis coach and instructor, told Charisma News Service that he has a booth at the tournament site, which cost $10,000. He said his group will work with the ministry of Feed the Children, which will be ministering to disadvantaged children.
"We have many tracts, Bibles and videos to hand out," Paschal, 36, said. "The main core of what we will do is share the gospel. We won't be chasing people with Bibles or anything. We will provide a source for people to come to with any questions they have about Christianity and we have Bible studies planned for the players."
Paschal, whose ministry is based in Palm Coast, Fla., formally launched ICTA in September after he walked away from a job that paid more than $120,000 annually as the general manager of a local tennis club.
"I resigned in August while attending the U.S. Open because I had placed the tennis club ahead of my calling that God had placed within me," explained Paschal, who attends a Baptist church in Palm Coast. "I had fallen for the money trap, so I resigned from my dream job and began full-time in my true dream calling. My dream is to reach the harvest fields of all the major tennis tournaments."
Paschal, who offers tennis lessons and raises his own support, said he sees God's hand on ICTA. NASDAQ-100 organizers took off $2,500 from his ministry's $10,000 booth fee and an Assemblies of God church in Longwood, Fla., raised $1,300 for the booth.

Re: Maria Sharapova
I also train with Nick. It is very annoying when people with nothing better to do start putting others down to make themselves feel bigger. How about getting a life. Jealousy is not attractive.
Maria and her friends from Russia are also now part of the ICTA. It is a Christian tennis organization. Maybe that should be talked. She often refers to the ICTAtennis.net website and hits with the ICTAcademy players at tournaments. She even lost to one... graciously.
Show some responsibility when discussing the lives of young, goal oriented people. It is much more fullfilling.

I have just watched an awesome performance of coaching professional tennis by Scott Paschal at the Winter Park 10K.(name left out by Pastor Bob), buddy, I disagree with you. You take the pictures and publish them and let coaches like Scott Paschal help tournamets grow a crowd! Scott Paschal was pacing up and down the side's of the tennis courts like Vince Lombardi! Scott Paschal was on fire with passion for this game and for the players he coaches! I shaked his hand and introduced myself before his players played the semifinal in doubs. He was warm and caring and totally stopped what he was doing to focus on my children and myself 100%. I met all eight of his players and they were truly great examples of professionalism. Scott Paschal will help generate much interest in professional tennis here in NE and N Central tennis. I was truly inspired by Scott Paschal's coaching fire and intensity and I saw first hand how his players respond positively to his passion for their playing 100%. I did look at the International Christian Tennis Association website at www.ictatennis.net and was impressed. My girls are 10 and 12 years old. I will look forward to more of Scott Paschal and the spirit of competition he brings to the game which I feel will benefit my girls greatly! Scott Paschal is different and this difference is amazing!

International Christian Tennis Association
The International Christian Tennis Association was originally established in the mid 1970's in Dallas, Texas.  In the early 1980's, Scott Paschal was given the blessing of developing the ICTA.  Scott Paschal developed his tennis teaching skills, his tennis playing skills, and his Christian ministry skills for the next 20 years as God developed him to guide the next phase of the International Christian Tennis Association. Now in 2004, 30 years after the International Christian Tennis Association was first launched, the ICTA stands poised to reach over 2,000,000 per year worldwide!
The International Christian Tennis Association, under the guidance of current ICTA President Scott Paschal provides a yearly Christian tennis membership, a caring Christian tennis academy in sunny Florida, a unique Christian tennis sports missionary training center, an upcoming international Christian tennis host home network, a fantastic enewsletter, a mailed Christian tennis periodical, and an upcoming online pro shop where members and guests may purchase Christian tennis clothing and accessories.
As the only legitimate Christian tennis sports ministry in the world, the ICTA is literally changing the sport of tennis.  By reinstilling sportsmanship, fair play, compassion, morals, standards of excellence, and reminding the world that God is King, the International Christian Tennis Association will continue its mission.
During 2005 and 2006, the ICTA has a goal to build an entire Christian tennis community complete with 24 condos surrounding a 40 court tennis complex.  The tennis complex is the vision of Scott Paschal.  With 20 clay courts, 14 hard courts, 2 grass courts, 3 indoor courts, and 1 stadium court which will seat 10,000...the International Christian Tennis Academy will become one of the finest tennis resorts in the USA and will completely change the landscape of tennis worldwide. This new resort will will become a beacon of light in the darkness!  This tennis resort will have a sports missionary training center, a homeschool center, a full service fitness facility, an olympic sized pool, shower facilities, and a full service pro shop!
The International Christian Tennis Association will become a IRS registered not for profit 501(c)(3) organization in 2004.

25. (note from Pastor Bob, Sexual abuse is a reoccurring theme 13 year old girl)
Faithwriters message board: http://64.235.52.11/article-details.php?id=51556
In this article I will share a difficult story of criminal sexualabuse towards a top female junior tennis player by a pedophile tennis coach as told to the International Christian Tennis Association by her parent…
I, Scott Paschal, will never forget meeting the dad. This man, so big and so seemingly strong, shaking as he spoke, tears welling up in his eyes.
The date was October 23, 2001. My small Christian tennis academy had journied to El Paso, Texas for an ITF Grade 5 junior tournament. Tennis matches were going on all around us as players fought to gain or improve on their world rankings.
As he spoke, I was standing with two of my academy students, Rachel Snelen, and her twin sister, Melody Snelen, both 18 years of age and listening intently, while standing next to this shaking man’s daughter.
As Stan settled down and began speaking more clearly, he began to describe what had happened, a bit more in detail.
His then 13 year old daughter, Dana, was a promising tennis player from Southern California. She was tops in her age group and division. Stan felt it would benefit Dana greatly to travel to Florida to attend one of the top tennis academies in the world.
Who wouldn’t? The academy promised Stan great things! Stronger hitting partners, strength training, safe housing, many top tournaments. It all sounded so good.
Stan and Dana spoke with the entire family, then they prayed for God’s guidance, and it was decided Dana would leave for Florida.
For 2 years Dana trained hard. Her tennis improved.
Yet, her dad began sensing something was not right.
During Christmas break in 2000, Dana came home with a cell phone on her hip. Stan didn’t purchase it for her. It usually rang late at night and Dana refused to explain who was calling or even how she got a cell phone to begin with. Back in 2000, remember, cell phones for 13 year olds weren’t the norm.
After much discussion, Stan then began asking his daughter why she has lost so much weight. Dana often refused to eat dinner with the family, then, the rare time she did, she would quietly walk to the bathroom. Dana’s mom and Stan become highly concerned.
As the new academy semester rolled around, Stan told Dana she was not going back to train there. Dana exploded.
Stan held his ground. After a few days, Stan took Dana’s cell phone and called the one number it held.
The person answering the phone was one of the top coaches in the world. Stan knew this famous tennis coach was married, and had a family of his own.
Stand slowly closed the phone. For two days the family searched for a psychologist who could see them on such short notice. Finally, they found one.
The next week unfolded a story of sexual abuse from a married man with children towards a 13 year old girl.
Stan contacted the police in Florida. The police began an investigation. Stan contacted the academy. The academy refused to investigate.
As time passed, the police did not have any DNA evidence to link Dana to the tennis coach. It had been to long since he had raped her, and then established a sexual relationship with her.
It had been to long for a semen sample to be found.
Dana, then 16 when I met her, had been sexually and mentally abused by one of the most famous tennis coaches at one of the most famous tennis academies in the world.
She was fighting bulimia and anorexia brought on by the abuse. Her tennis game was gone. Her once promising talent, destroyed by a pedophile tennis coach.
The situation took its toll. The mom divorced Stan. The entire situation had destroyed the family. Dad lost his job. He couldn’t work… he slid into a depression and felt like an utter failure.
In fact, Stan lost about everything he had. He simply couldn’t believe he placed his daughter in such a dangerous position. He blamed himself.
Because of that disgustingly perverted pedophile tennis coach, Dana lost her home… her family structure… her physical health… it’s all gone.
So, there I was in El Paso, Texas on a windy day, listening. Stan hugging me and crying. Dana watching, the tears no longer able to flow.
I could do nothing for their situation, except pray and be a friend. The past is the past and I wanted to help facilitate the future for them.
I could never understand their pain, but God can and what Satan uses to attempt to destroy us, God can use to grow us for His glory.
I know who this tennis coach is. I'm watching him intently.
Honestly, I have had days when I actually hated the pedophile. I work hard to be a good Christian when I see this loser.
He is still coaching young, teen girls. Parents still send their kids to that academy, unknowing of Dana’s story. Dana and her father have simply been called “a disgruntled former student and parent.”
Though Dana can describe every inch of that man’s body, though Dana can thoroughly tell intimate details of how that tennis coach dislikes his wife, though the cell phone was in the pedophile’s name… though a young 13 year old girl has lost her family, though Dana’s body was destroyed by eating disorders, though Dana’s dad is battling depression…
Though all of this has happened, God is still in control.
Yes, sin attacked Dana’s family. Satan gained a stronghold. He did. That’s a fact.
Yet, now God has an opportunity to rebuild. Much like the tragic events of 911 hurt our country, God has used that tragedy for His glory as a spiritual awakening began nationwide.
The Bible says… “Our love must not be a thing of words and fine talk. It must be a thing of action and sincerity (1 John 3:18).”
Through any difficult circumstance Jesus asks us to lean on Him. Dana and Stan can get through this.
Are you going through a difficult time? Trust in God to see you through. Read your Bible, pray, fellowship with other believers. Read your Bible, then do what it says, so you can learn to be like Christ.
I have many stories like these God has brought into my life. As a person who stands up for Christ in a Godless sport, I tend to hear from a lot of people and learn a lot of things.
Because of Dana and Stan, the International Christian Tennis Association has formed a tennis ministry specifically dealing with child abuse. You can visit the ICTA at www.christiantennis.net.
Oftentimes, when I stand up to an abuser, I myself get abused by them.
These abusive cowards often threaten to harm me, either physically or by slander, so they can once again live their life of abusive behavior.
That’s ok.
God is in control.
I pray this story has touched your heart. Please pray for Dana and Stan, as well as for their entire family. Please pray as well for the pedophile tennis coach at the famous tennis academy in Florida.
Stan was such a big guy. Strong and seemingly secure…. to this day I have his memory etched in my thoughts…
May God bless and keep you,
Scott Paschal

scott paschal here... quick note to let each of you know the international christian tennis association is willing and able to help you if you have been abused and need assisitance. contact me at 386 793 0557... ask for me, rachel snelen, or melody snelen. icta tennis ministry does have access to a certified chaplain, joy snelen, as well. we're here for you and not afraid of the bullies harming your life.
----------------------------
Amy, I tremendously appreciate your taking the time to critique my articles, and to offer such support! Yes, it is difficult to understand how people like that coach are able to still hold their jobs when they should be in prison. In fact, that particular coach spends much time anonymously slandering me via the internet. In some ways I think he is trying to harm my reputation so maybe others won't listen to my opinion when/if I decide to share Dana's full story. There are legal ramifications on my end that I must be aware of as well. That said, the International Christian Tennis Association now has well over 100 members who are attorneys. I believe we will have free legal help no matter what the situation is we face. There is a strong abusive force in world class athletics... and our Christian tennis ministry plans to be a positive voice for those who have been abused, as well as a shelter from theabuser.

I like to tell kids things will be ok.
I guess it a natural instinct for me.
Well, natural because we are created by God and for God.
To me, whenever God is involved, things will be ok. God created me, and He promises me in His word, the Bible, that I am a child of Him.
Maybe I like to tell the kids I speak to in churches, or at tournaments, or wherever, that things will be ok because God tells me I’ll be ok, and that He will see me through whatever trials I am set to face as He shapes and molds me for what is to come in eternity.
That’s cool.
This is Scott Paschal. I’m the Director of Ministry for the International Christian Tennis Association, www.christiantennis.net, a Christian sports ministry with members in over 1500 cities in 50 countries.
I, along with my two staff members, Rachel and Melody Snelen, and a handful of volunteers, work hard to share the Good News through the sport of tennis.
That’s cool, too, huh?
Kids today have terrorism to think about. Not so cool.
When I was a kid we had to think about a nuclear war with Russia. I remember we would have surprise drills during school where we would all leave the classroom and move to the halls and crunch up into little balls and be really still. I guess that was supposed to help somehow when a nuclear bomb hits.
Well, Russia is now are friend. Things changed. God knew they would. What led the change? Christians did.
Carter and Reagan became presidents. Both had their eyes on Jesus, though both were far from perfect.
Billy Graham led several crusades into communist Russia… you should read about the miracles of how that happened. People worldwide saw the need for supernatural intervention, so they prayed.
Big things happen when Christians pray.
Maybe that’s what God was intending.
I spent some time with a set of Christian tennis parents this weekend as I enjoyed a great junior tennis tournament here in sunny Florida.
These folks have a strong Christian focus. It was forged through adversity.
They had seen tragedy within their lives as one of their preteen daughters had been sexually molested for months by a prominent tennis pro.
The discovery of this led to the pedophiliac tennis pro spending a lot of time in jail.
At one point in time he was a pretty cocky guy readily putting others down with slander and malice in order to make himself seem important.
Now this pedophile is in prison having to defend himself from the same type of abuse he dished out.
The abused girl is coping, the parents are healing, and through it all God is being revealed. These are wonderful people I am grateful to call my friends, and members of the International Christian Tennis Association.
Satan tried to destroy this family. He failed. I’m so grateful.
Rachel and Melody Snelen have been to this family’s house spending time with the girl. Rachel and Melody are twins. The girl also has a twin. There is a natural bond between the four of them.
There is also another bond. You see, when they were little girls, Rach and Mel were also abused by a child molestor.
Not just any child molestor... the guy was a pastor.
Not only was he a pastor, he was also the President of the Florida Baptist Association.
And he was in his 60's.
Though you would think their lives would have been destroyed, God used this tragedy to reveal His glory through their lives.
God had a plan and a purpose for turning a tragedy into a triumph!
Rachel and Melody Snelen are now fulltime staff members with the International Christian Tennis Association.
After a strong junior tennis career which saw them start the bottom of junior tennis in Texas at 14 years of age, they both ended up top 10 in Texas before their junior tennis careers ended.
Now, they both work fulltime as tennis missionaries. Sometimes, they play professional tennis tournaments, but not to become famous. They play so they can tell people about Jesus.
Both Rachel and Melody have earned their WTA rankings, which was their goal when they were 16!
Now, their goal is to attend ITF and WTA pro tournaments while leading ICTA Pro Team Mission Trips… while helping their teammates achieve success… placing the needs of their friends above their own needs.
These twins are really amazing girls indeed.
Yet, even though both of these girls live such a selfless life, giving of what they have to others, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all they meet…
even though their lives are a billboard for victory over abuse… even though they are loved and cared about by people in ministry nationwide…
Even though they do so much for so many, Satan still tries to abuse them through his foot soldiers. He tries to harm their Christian witness.
Satan knows both of these God- blessed missionaries are leading people to Christ…
Thus he has assigned one of his demons to attack them continuously through the work of a tennis pro who lives in Greece.
Slanderous emails... threatening voice mails...
Just as the pedophile who abused Rachel and Melody was a pastor, so was the man currently attempting to do them harm.
Yep... former pastors. Notice the word "former."
The same demonic activity which leads pedophile tennis pros to molest little girls still works to attack even when the girls grow older, and especially when the girls have stood up for their Creator. My natural instinct is to tell kids things will be ok.
I’m telling this little girl it will be ok.
Rachel and Melody are telling her the same thing. Though they know Satan will use his goons at all times, they both know God is so much bigger than any demon.
Our God is a just God. We are not to sit in judgement. God will fight our battles!
Our lives are His!
We are His children!
God promises he will not let happen to you more than you can handle. Sin is part of our world. Yet, so is God.
Rachel and Melody Snelen are shining beacons for Christ. They are 23 years of age and powerful Christians walking in God’s love.
They each have a personal relationship with God, have been tested to their limits, have forgiving hearts, and are walking hand in hand with the Creator who spoke the universe into existence and knows the stars by name.
Nothing could keep them down. And nothing will. They are both tremendous examples for the tens of thousands of girls, and women, worldwide who have been sexually abused by pedophiles.
Through God we can all the achieve victory He has for our lives, whatever that may be!
Rachel and Melody Snelen, WTA professional tennis players and fulltime Christian tennis missionaries, know God loves them and is in 100% control!
I want this little girl to know the same thing. And I want all kids to know this.
You are a child of God created in His image. He has a plan and a purpose for your life. No matter what Satan does working through his followers, no matter what demonic activity has attacked your life, no matter what obstacles you face or tragedy you have had to endure…
God is with you and God is in control.
God promises things will be ok for His children.
I think that is pretty cool.
May God bless and keep you,

What a great day!
This is Scott Paschal. I am the Ministry Director of the International Christian Tennis Association, www.Christiantennis.net
And I’m having a great day!
How?
Well, I just feel really blessed.
I guess one thing that really blessed me today was God gave me a terrific opportunity to serve Him.
Recently, I received a phone call from a Christian tennis missionary, Rachel Snelen. She is leading an ICTA Pro Team Mission Trip internationally.
Rachel Snelen is a professional tennis player who loves the Lord with all her heart.
She has recently earned a rare WTA ranking and is working hard to become a top 1000 player by the end of the year, though she is a fulltime missionary and staff member of the ICTA, as well.
Rachel Snelen, and her twin sister, Melody Snelen, are both special and rare.
When Rach called, I expected to listen to her updates and reports as to how their work has been going in the mission field, which is an International Tennis Federation professional tennis tournament.
I noticed Rachel’s usually certain and strong voice seemed a bit rushed and concerned as she tried to explain the situation as it had unfolded.
But, I could hardly understand her because the phone line was pretty bad.
After a minute or so I did understand what Rachel was saying. And my answer was YES!
Yes, Lord! Yes, yes, yes!
Yes, Lord… and thank you Jesus for this blessing, for this opportunity to serve you deeper, fuller, more.
You see, Rachel and her sister, Melody Snelen had been used by God in a big way.
They met a girl at this professional tennis tournament whose life was being turned upside down. At 16 years of age, and far, far away from her home and family in Europe, this young girl needed help.
And she needed help in a big way and right now.
Though a junior tennis player with potential to be in the top 200 WTA within 2 years, this girl has been terribly mistreated and was in desperate need of love and care.
Rachel and the other girls wanted to bring Alina home with them here to the ICTA House.
Apparently, she had been in a terrible situation with the coach she had been forced to stay with. In my years of ministry through tennis, I have heard many difficult situations.
In fact, the International Christian Tennis Association has developed the ICTA Abuse Recovery ministry to assist young, female tennis players.
Within just a few seconds, I decided I wanted to help Alina.
God has helped me more times than I can count.
I want to return the favor.
Alina is in a particularly difficult situation.
You see, in the Europe she had a very difficult relationship with her father. And here in the states her married coach caused much hardship as well and may very well be a pedophile.
After speaking with me, Rachel and Melody Snelen then offered Alina to flee from her coach and to stay with the other ICTA girls in their hotel room where she will be safe and cared for.
Next, they offered purchase Alina an airline ticket and bring her with them on their next mission trip.
All the girls would fly to Mexico City this Friday where Mark’s mom will meet them at the airport and take them all to her house. (Mark is one of my fulltime students. His mother and father are missionaries who plant churches in Mexico City)
They would all then take the bus to San Lois Potosi, Mexico.
And after their mission trip tour has ended, Alina could then travel with everyone back here to beautuful Palm Coast, Florida, and stay here at the ICTA's Christian Tennis Academy until she is able to safely travel to her home, or possibly live and train fulltime with her new ICTA Women’s Pro Team.
Yet, this story is not complete at this time. Far from it!
You see, the wife of the tennis pro had taken Alina from the tournament. She had claimed she wanted to harm Alina, though I am inclined to think this was said as a phrase to describe her anger, not her plans. We did not know the location of Alina until the next day!
She refuses to let Alina come back to the tennis academy. Though her husband is the more guilty party, in her eyes at the time Alina is the villain.
Alina was in a terrible predicament.
She is a young, confused 16 year old girl trying to figure out how to survive in her crazy world. Alina was being abandoned, alone, in a country where she does not speak the language, Spanish, and she has little money.
She cannot stay where she was with an abusive tennis pro who could be a pedophile, nor can she safely live in Europe with her abusive father.
My heart breaks for her.
I think my heart is this way, particularly so, because I know of another talented female tennis player, a 22 year old girl I coached who reached top 100 WTA.
She, too, was abused by all the men in her life, especially her tennis coaches. Sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse, and spiritual abuse dominated her life and led her down a path towards suicide.
Only by the divine intervention of God is she still alive today.
Right now, I will reach out to Alina as a friend and a source of support. We all will.
I have recently spoken to the wife.
Alina’s father has terminated the tennis pro’s guardianship of Alina. I have been asked to be Alina’s legal guardian, though we have never met. The wife is eager to see Alina gone from her life.
As I spoke with the wife, I was truly amazed at her courage. She asked for none of this situation. Did she ask her husband of many years to destroy his family by manipulating a 16 year old?
No, of course not!
Yet, though she was angry and confused, God intervened and the wife and I spoke and prayed together on the phone for Alina’s well being and her future.
She felt that being with the International Christian Tennis Academy is exactly what Alina needs at this point in her life.
The wife and I agreed to work together for the good of all.
She also understands her husband needs help, and will have to deal with his sin.
The wife was overtaken with emotion with my love for her, Alina, and my compassion for her husband. At times, she could hardly speak.
She said some higher power was within me.
I agreed and I spoke to her about God and the saving Grace of Jesus.
ICTA’s Abuse Recovery ministry now has specific plans in action to help her flee from the sinful, abusive lifestyle she was led into by the married tennis pro.
Looks like I have a new player in my life! And my work cut out for me as I work to shine the love of Christ into the life of my new student.
God has a plan and a reason for everything.
As for the husband…
I now know all details about this tennis pro who decided to manipulate his 16 year old female student, possibly criminally. I know many aspects of his life… name, address, teaching certification, phone, web site, tennis club….
In fact, I know this man is the owner of a prominent tennis academy. He has an good record of working with and producing top junior players, mainly boys This tennis pro is quite famous in his state and very prominent in the tennis world.
As the situation unfolds I am sure I will be forced to feel his wrath.
Articles and blogs just may appear “anonymously” on the internet slandering my ministry, voice messages could be left on my cell phone threatening me with physical harm, I might be called a cult leader by this pedaphile… etc.
Abusers hate to lose control.
They are their own gods of their world.
And when someone takes their object of abuse, or better yet, when God intervenes and removes one of His children from abuse, the abuser becomes angry, very angry.
I have felt this wrath before.
The demonic nature of sexual abuse is powerful.
When God used me to intervene against a sexual, pedophile predator skillfully disguised as a tennis pro, my fight is not against the tennis pro himself.
No, not at all.
My fight is against demonic forces that have possessed or oppressed the tennis pro, wreaking havoc on the lives of those in their lives.
These demons have attempted to destroy Alina’s life, the wife’s marriage, and the career of the tennis pro.
Well, I’m in the picture now as a Christian soldier directly shining the light of Jesus into the eyes of demonic lies woven throughout the life of the tennis pro.
I’m putting on my spiritual armor as God explains in Ephesians 6. I’m preparing for a prayer battle.
I know Satan will attempt to now harm my ministry. Thus, we brace ourselves with the love and protection of Jesus and stand firm.
My life just might get very difficult now.
Yet, it’s worth it!
Glory to God, it is worth it!
Yes, Lord! Yes, yes, yes!
Yes, Lord… and thank you Jesus for this blessing, for this opportunity to serve you deeper, fuller, more.
What a pure blessing to know God has brought someone for our tennis ministry to care for in her time of need. No, she doesn’t have money to pay us. Our wanting to help her has nothing to do with financial gain.
This has to do with a small group of four tennis missionaries being sent by God to an ITF Pro Tournament to care for one of His children who was lost.
Luke 15:4 says, "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?”
Our special tennis ministry is certainly blessed.
It is such an honor and a privilege to know our four Christian tennis academy missionaries are the vehicle God is using to bring one of His children home to Him.
I feel so blessed.
And I’m having a great day!

Alina will arrive in Daytona Beach on Delta this afternoon. She is safe.
The predator pedophile tennis pro who possibly sexually molested her is over 2000 miles away. For now, he can do her no physical harm.
The International Christian Tennis Academy missionaries who helped rescue Alina from her tennis prison, Melody Snelen and her twin sister, Rachel Snelen, are currently flying to Mexico City from Atlanta.
Upon arrival, Melody and Rachel Snelen, will meet a woman at the airport. She is a Godly person, a Christian missionary embedded in Mexico City with her husband. They plant Christian churches.
The missionary woman’s name is Robin. She is the mother of one of my fulltime Christian tennis academy students, a 15 year old named talented junior named Mark.
Rachel and Melody Snelen, along with the entire ICTA Women’s Pro Tennis Team, will travel with Robin to her house where they will gain much needed rest from their very difficult mission trip to Juarez where God used them as His vessels to rescue one of His children, Alina, from the married child molester tennis pro who controlled her.
I will pick Alina up from the airport and bring her to the safety of ICTA’s Abuse Recovery Ministry, while in Mexico City God will use His female Christian tennis missionaries as He needs.
Godly women of great character are amazing.
The Bible agrees…
In an Old Testament filled with rebuke towards women for being superstitious and wishy-washy, we find Deborah given a place of honor.
She was a ruler, a judge of the Israelite people, a prophetess and a poet (Judges 4 & 5).
Deborah led an army of 10,000 troops into battle along with a man named Barak.
Even though she prophesied that the Lord would deliver the enemy up, Barak refused to go unless she went with him.
Deborah's answer can be found in Judges 4:9 (NASV)…
"And she said, I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the honor shall not be yours on the journey that you are about to take, for the Lord will sell Sisera (commander of the opposing army) into the hands of a woman."
What an amazing woman!
God has truly blessed the International Christian Tennis Association with women of great character acting as leaders within our ministry.
Tremendous women like Melody and Rachel Snelen whose Godly actions have led others to Christ and to safety, while also leading incredible female Christian mentors to have a heart to grow and develop Rachel and Melody.
Great women of Godly character will be the vehicles God will use to change the world.
Alina will arrive soon. She has begun to understand God did not forget her.
Jesus says in the Bible as Recorded by Luke…
"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?”
Originally, ICTA had no plans to send our Christian tennis missionaries to the ITF Pro Tournament in Juarez, Mexico. It was a last minute thing.
I like how God works.
It’s really interesting and fun to know he truly uses His people for His will to be done.
I’m glad for Him to use us as He sees fit because the sexual predator tennis pros stalking young, female junior tennis players are dangerous.
The demonic activity possessing or oppressing these men is a powerful force of reality currently dominating women’s tennis worldwide.
I have felt Satan’s wrath before when I protected other female teens from sexual abusers. Satan’s demonic foot soldiers fight dirty and they have no rules.
I have received threatening phone messages, my name and my ministry have been slandered, my family has been verbally assaulted, my students have been hunted by these sick pedophiles in their attempts to shut me up and shut me down.
Yet, even though, these men are control freak cowards, I have no anger towards them. In fact, I pray for them as I pray for the recovery of their victims as we work hard to restore their health.
Satan knows a truly Godly woman at the top of professional tennis could have an immediate, world reaching impact against his lies.
Just one woman can alter the course of history.
Godly women, like Melody Snelen and Rachel Snelen, are amazing.

Sexual Abuse or Business as Usual by Scott Paschal 10/10/06
This story is a Christian Tennis Association, www.christiantennis.net, exclusive on the still unfolding explosive situation in the Pacific Islands where a tennis pro at a tennis academy was fired after a police investigation of sexual exploitation of a 13 year old girl.Hello! This is Scott Paschal. I am the Ministry Director for the International Christian Tennis Association. I, along with ICTA’s two other staff members, Rachel and Melody Snelen, and a handful of terrific volunteers, work hard to share the Gospel through tennis.As I am a Christian in a predominantly God-less sport, I often hear of very difficult situations worldwide. Many deal with sexual exploitation of females junior players.As such, I have founded a ministry which offers guidance and protection toabused female athletes, particularly in the sport of tennis.Today, I would like to talk about a situation in the Pacific Islands.Yes, the gorgeous Pacific Islands. The place where most of us dream of vacationing.A very disturbing sexual abuse situation has been unfolding for the last few months and my hope is to bring peace and healing to all involved in this terrible ordeal.The people in the Oceana Tennis world have been rocked by a very serious scandal which has sent shock waves internationally through the tennis community.My introduction to the situation came from one of my new Christian tennis missionary students.She was given a full scholarship to train at a tennis academy in the Pacific Islands where she stayed for years. The goal of this regional training center is supposed to be to help students become collegiate or professional tennis players. Those who dreamed up this incredible scenario should be commended. Talk about a dream come true for these kids, huh!?Sure!What kid wouldn’t want to live in a tropical paradise and play tennis fulltime for free with a hope and dream of a college education or success on the pro tour? (Or adult for that matter!)One evening a couple of months ago as all of my Christian tennis missionary academy students were gathered in the kitchen while I was cooking Italian food for dinner, we all began to talk about how many times I have helped teen girl tennis players who have beenabused, particularly sexually.My new student listened intently.She then shared a story. One that has become all too familiar….First, she spoke of her situation on the island. She talked about her training, the beauty of the land, her schooling. We enjoyed hearing about her terrific friends and many experiences. She spoke kindly and intelligently about everyone she had come to know. Then, she shared her thoughts and feelings about one particular situation... a very difficult situationI listened carefully, without comment, and then did subsequent research of my own into the situation.My research shows one of the two tennis coaches operating the well-known Tennis Academy, ITF-sponsored, was fired after a police investigation of his sexually molesting a 13 year old girl who attended the academy.I am all too familiar with this scenerio and I am currently researching police reports further to see if I can gain any valuable insight which would help keep this from happening again. I would like to know just exactly what parents and national tennis associations can expect to happen at other tennis academies sponsored by the ITF and regional tennis federations.In fact, this particular story is growing even as I type. Allegations are pouring in of students using alcoholic beverages, potential drug usage, students getting poor grades in classes... yet, all this pales in comparison to the sexual molestation and exploitation of young female by a tennis coach in a trusted position of influence. Who hired this guy? Where is the healthy adult supervision? Who are the tennis coaches at that facility accountable to? How has this all been allowed to happened? Where are those in charge of the Oceana Tennis Federation? The Oceana Tennis Federation seems to be a group of caring people who would never have wanted such a horrible act of sexual abuse to happen, nor can I believe they ever would want alcohol, drugs, or students failing classes to be part of their training curriculum!The parents trust the International Tennis Federation to completely and properly care for their children. Alcohol!? Drugs!? Failing classes!? And sexual exploitation of a 13 year old girl by the coach!!?This place sounds like it was completely out of control…Over time, most every girl at the Tennis Academy learned of what was happening with the girl. My new student was one of the students back then who roomed with the girl and first confronted her about the situation.The girl then must have told the tennis coach, because soon after, the girl was sent packing. I guess he thought that would help him not get punished. The girl's family became angry at what they had learned...The police were brought in and an investigation began. Apparently, the students, both male and female, at the academy were afraid of losing their scholarships if they talked to the police. It was obvious to all that they had better not tell the police anything!In fact, the main coach sat in the interrogation room just to make sure who was saying what! I'm still not sure how or why that was allowed....One by one the police investigator questioned the students. One by one the students refused to talk. Except finally one decided to speak…She told the police everything!Everything she knew! She talked about confronting the girl… who was one of her roommates… when she began to notice the girl staying out all nite. The main tennis coach became agitated as he listened to her testimony to the police investigator. This student didn’t care. She told him he is not the police and she was there to talk to the police.Soon after the police investigation was completed, the tennis coach was fired. No prison, though. Unfortunately, it seems no semen samples could be collected for DNA evidence. As of the date of this article, my understanding from sources is he is now in Australia working with children at a tennis club. The young girl’s tennis career basically ended. Her reputation is badly damaged and her view of the world is forever changed. The only ones to blame is the pedophile who harmed her, and those who hired him.Alcohol, drugs, poor education, sexual exploitation of a female student… the girls were in a difficult circumstance. Kids tend to do what the other kids are doing. Peer pressure is powerful.Kids should not be forced into a situation to raise themselves!They need high quality adult supervision. And when a demonic force is working through the life of one of the tennis coaches... watch out!As my new student prayed for guidance back then, her friend and mine, the owner of a Christian television station and a missionary, recommended she contact me!This leads us to the conclusion of this story.She is here with the International Christian Tennis Association training for tennis fulltime, while also traveling on mission trips to professional tennis tournaments with her ICTA Women’s Pro Team.In addition, I've already secured a 100% college tennis scholarship for her.I'm glad she is here. In fact, thank God she is here! She is fantastic. It can be amazing how much someone can grow when planted in a healthy situation. Doors are flying open for her and her future looks so bright!!But, you know, I have an empty feeling knowing the demonic activity working through that tennis pro is still lurking on a tennis court somewhere with a young, unsuspecting female junior tennis player trusting his judgment.I am also concerned about the safety of the other girls!If you are reading this and are from the regional training center, please contact your parents, me, the police, your pastor... whomever you can to report any abuse!This is a story about the sexual exploitation of children worldwide within the sport of tennis. In fact, this is all this story is about. I am not knocking the Tennis Academy or the persons currently working there. If the situation has improved, then great. I respect the goals and ambitions of the Oceana Tennis Federation and stand in support of their efforts. I would like to hear all the positives of their programs as well as their efforts to make sure there will be an end to sexual abuse at their tennis facilities.Just because one man was corrupt, does not mean the entire system is! What I am sharing is the fact that a 13 year old girl’s life was forever changed because of one man who was fired after a police investigation of sexual molestation.This situation needs much prayer. Prayer for the girl. Prayer for the academy. Prayer for the students. And prayer for the tennis coach who was fired. As God uses me to help protect abused females, I sometimes feel the wrath of the abusers. The abuser is used to being in control. He focuses on defenseless children. I come between the abused and theabuser. To get to them, he has to come through me.Pedophiles and other abusers are controlling cowards. At different points in time, my ministry has been slandered. I have been threatened. My family has been threatened. Yet, I am not a little girl. I tend to laugh and smile at the threats of these demons working through the abuser.I serve a bigger power. And He is working through me.Glory to God!Scott Paschal

http://christiantennisassociation.blogspot.com/2006/05/sexual-abuse-in-junior-tennis.html
This is a blog written to those of you who have been sexuallyabused while a junior tennis player.
I feel called to bring accountability to the unaccountable masses of tennis coaches worldwide who have been getting away with destroying the lives of their young female tennis students.
In May of 2006, I personally began a focused look into the darker side of competitive junior tennis. I have learned of too much to just continue passively waiting for the USTA or ITF to do something to protect the kids.
Today, I watched a terrific girl play in a tournament here in Florida. As I sat with her mother and father, I watched her fight it out on the tennis court. She played great. Yet, only a handful of us knew the pain she was forced to endure...
You see this preteen girl had been sexually molested by a pedophile tennis pro for months. The sick pedophile coach was finally caught and is now in prison. Though the thought of him in prison makes me glad he's off the tennis courts, I do get pretty angry when I think about the pain she has been forced to endure each day as she struggles to understand the world she lives in.
I'm grateful for the friendship of her parents and I look forward to watching God turn her pain into happiness for His glory as she heals and finds her comfort in Him.
You know, as abusers like these end up in prison, things will change. Men in tennis worldwide will know someone is ready to hold them accountable. Sure, some of them will get angry with me. Who cares. I don't get intimidated easily. And I don't back down to those pedophilecowards threatening me or slandering my ministry.
Sexual pedophile abusers are control freaks. I look forward to knowing they will be put in prison one at a time.
Abuse comes in many forms:
1. Sexual
2. Physical
3. Mental
4. Emotional
5. Financial
6. Spiritual
The International Christian Tennis Association is becoming known worlwide as a place tennis families can come to for support.
We are becoming known as a place God uses to rebuild the lives of junior tennis players harmed by the abusive manipulations of others.
Here is a true story for you to read. God used this situation to plant a seed in my heart...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this article I will share a difficult story of criminal sexual abuse towards a top female junior tennis player by a pedophile tennis coach as told to the International Christian Tennis Association by her parent…
I, Scott Paschal, will never forget meeting the dad. This man, so big and so seemingly strong, shaking as he spoke, tears welling up in his eyes.
The date was October 23, 2001. My small Christian tennis academy had journeyed to El Paso, Texas for an ITF Grade 5 junior tournament.
As he spoke, I was standing with two of my academy students, Rachel Snelen, and her twin sister, Melody Snelen, both 18 years of age and listening intently, while standing next to this shaking man’s daughter.
As Stan settled down and began speaking more clearly, he began to describe what had happened, a bit more in detail.
His then 13 year old daughter, Dana, was a promising tennis player from Southern California. She was tops in her age group and division. Stan felt it would benefit Dana greatly to travel to Florida to attend one of the top tennis academies in the world.
Who wouldn’t? The academy promised Stan great things! Stronger hitting partners, strength training, safe housing, many top tournaments. It all sounded so good.
Stan and Dana spoke with the entire family, then they prayed for God’s guidance, and it was decided Dana would leave for Florida.
For 2 years Dana trained hard. Her tennis improved.
Yet, her dad began sensing something was not right.
During Christmas break in 2000, Dana came home with a cell phone on her hip. Stan didn’t purchase it for her. It usually rang late at night and Dana refused to explain who was calling or even how she got a cell phone to begin with. Back in 2000, remember, cell phones for 13 year olds weren’t the norm.
After much discussion, Stan then began asking his daughter why she has lost so much weight. Dana often refused to eat dinner with the family, then, the rare time she did, she would quietly walk to the bathroom. Dana’s mom and Stan become highly concerned.
As the new academy semester rolled around, Stan told Dana she was not going back to train there. Dana exploded.
Stan held his ground. After a few days, Stan took Dana’s cell phone and called the one number it held.
The person answering the phone was one of the top coaches in the world. Stan knew this famous tennis coach was married, and had a family of his own.
Stand slowly closed the phone. For two days the family searched for a psychologist who could see them on such short notice. Finally, they found one.
The next week unfolded a story of sexual abuse from a married man with children towards a 13 year old girl.
Stan contacted the police in Florida. The police began an investigation. Stan contacted the academy. The academy refused to investigate.
As time passed, the police did not have any DNA evidence to link Dana to the tennis coach. It had been to long since he had raped her, and then established a sexual relationship with her.
It had been to long for a semen sample to be found.
Dana, then 16 when I met her, had been sexually and mentally abused by one of the most famous tennis coaches at one of the most famous tennis academies in the world.
She was fighting bulimia and anorexia brought on by the abuse. Her tennis game was gone. Her once promising talent, destroyed by a pedophile tennis coach.
The situation took its toll. The mom divorced Stan. The entire situation had destroyed the family. Dad lost his job. He couldn’t work… he slid into a depression and felt like an utter failure.
In fact, Stan lost about everything he had. He simply couldn’t believe he placed his daughter in such a dangerous position. He blamed himself.
Because of that disgustingly perverted pedophile tennis coach, Dana lost her home… her family structure… her physical health… it’s all gone.
So, there I was in El Paso, Texas on a windy day, listening. Stan hugging me and crying. Dana watching, the tears no longer able to flow.
I could do nothing for their situation, except pray and be a friend. The past is the past and I wanted to help facilitate the future for them.
I could never understand their pain, but God can and what Satan uses to attempt to destroy us, God can use to grow us for His glory.
I know who this tennis coach is. I'm watching him intently.
Honestly, I have had days when I actually hated the pedophile. I work hard to be a good Christian when I see this loser.
He is still coaching young, teen girls. Parents still send their kids to that academy, unknowing of Dana’s story. Dana and her father have simply been called “a disgruntled former student and parent.”
Though Dana can describe every inch of that man’s body, though Dana can thoroughly tell intimate details of how that tennis coach dislikes his wife, though the cell phone was in the pedophile’s name… though a young 13 year old girl has lost her family, though Dana’s body was destroyed by eating disorders, though Dana’s dad is battling depression…
Though all of this has happened, God is still in control.
Yes, sin attacked Dana’s family. Satan gained a stronghold. He did. That’s a fact.
Yet, now God has an opportunity to rebuild. Much like the tragic events of 911 hurt our country, God has used that tragedy for His glory as a spiritual awakening began nationwide.
The Bible says… “Our love must not be a thing of words and fine talk. It must be a thing of action and sincerity (1 John 3:18).”
Through any difficult circumstance Jesus asks us to lean on Him. Dana and Stan can get through this.
Are you going through a difficult time? Trust in God to see you through. Read your Bible, pray, fellowship with other believers. Read your Bible, then do what it says, so you can learn to be like Christ.
I have many stories like these God has brought into my life. As a person who stands up for Christ in a Godless sport, I tend to hear from a lot of people and learn a lot of things.
Because of Dana and Stan, the International Christian Tennis Association has formed a tennis ministry specifically dealing with child abuse. You can visit the ICTA at www.christiantennis.net.
Oftentimes, when I stand up to an abuser, I myself get abused by them.
These abusive cowards often threaten to harm me, either physically or by slander, so they can once again live their life of abusive behavior.
That’s ok.
God is in control.
I pray this story has touched your heart. Please pray for Dana and Stan, as well as for their entire family. Please pray as well for the pedophile tennis coach at the famous tennis academy in Florida.
Stan was such a big guy. Strong and seemingly secure…. to this day I have his memory etched in my thoughts…

Sexual abuse among junior girls ages 10 to 14 is rampant.
One of my former students, who was the #5 G16 in Russia, shared with me her sexual abuse of her coach when she was 13. She stated nothing could be done about it as there are no serious penalties for this type of behavior from tennis coaches.
Russia, USA, Australia, Spain... I have visited with people worlwide who are dealing with the effects of sexual predators posing as tennis teaching professionals. From a current 10 year old female junior in Florida who was recently sexually assaulted on a months-long basis by her tennis pro- to a 22 year old top 100 WTA player who was sexually abused at 14... male tennis pro sexual abuse by within the sport of tennis is out of control.
And the current governing bodies of tennis are doing nothing about it!
I say it is time for them to get involved or be held responsible for hiding the facts!
If the United States Tennis Association, the Professional Tennis Registry, the International Tennis Federation, and the United States Professional Tennis Association are going to develop and host tennis programs, as well as certify tennis pros, the public has a right to send their children to a safe environment to participate in these programs.
The International Christian Tennis Association has developed a ministry to log and track all tennis teaching pros/coaches who have been convicted of sexual abuse against a minor. The program the pro was involved in teaching, the club/facility that hired him, and the organization which certified him will be logged.
I fully expect this ministry to grow to become an international force in holding tennis pros/tennis academies/ tennis teaching certification associations/national tennis federations accountable for who they place on the tennis courts.
Here are a few of the stories from people I have spoken with this year...
    * An ICTA member and a friend of mine is a doctor . He and his wonderful wife have twin girls. One of the twins had been sexually molested for months by a local tennis pro who trained the girls at their house. The pro is now in jail. The family is learning to cope with the after effects of this sick tennis pro's behavior. I now know who this man is, and which prison he is in.
    * Earlier this year, I spoke with a famous female tennis player. She shared with me how she was sexually abused by her tennis coach starting when she was 14 years of age. He took most of her prize money, sexually assaulted her on a regular basis, then slandered her reputation so few would listen to her. I know who this man is and where he is currently working.
    * A top tennis coach at a famous tennis academy in the USA sexually molested a 14 year old girl from California for over a year. This tennis pro was in his 40's, married, and has children of his own. I met the girl when she was 16. Her life was devestated. Her father was in terrible emotional pain as he spoke to me. The tennis coach is still working at this famous tennis academy.
    * A famous tennis coach from Australia who owned a popular Australian junior tennis academy was convicted of sexually molesting a 14 year old girl at his academy. He is now in prison. The girl's life is in turmoil.
    * Jan - March of 2006, I coached a famous female tennis player. She shared with me that her tennis coach of 2 years had a "revelation from God" in which God told him she must lose her upcoming main draw Wimbledon match to a famous Christian tennis player. After she lost this match, she sank into a deep depression and became suicidal. The coach is now working with another young female.
    * In Texas, an up and coming male junior tennis player with unlimited potential was sexually molested by a male caregiver. The boy eventually quit tennis, became addicted to drugs...
You can learn more about this new ICTA ministry on our web site, www.christiantennis.net. I'd like you to know I'm here for you if you or someone you know has been a victim of abuse. I'm simply a phone call (386 793 0557) or email (ballboy4jesus@yahoo.com) away.
ICTA has a strong database of lawyers who are ICTA members. It's time to shine a light into the darker corners of competitive junior tennis.
It's time to protect the kids.

Hello there! This is Scott Paschal, founder of the International Christian Tennis Association
This is the end of a fantastic day of missions planning and preparation. Tomorrow, we drive to the big Memphis ATP/WTA tournament for a large-scale mission trip
I'm excited. God is blessing the International Christian Tennis Association
Today has been great. Great weather... fun with my academy students as we packed... excitement everywhere about our mission trip tour!
Paid for a couple of exhibitor's booths, one at an incredibly famous tournament I'll write about later.
Partnered with a company/friend for our booth at the 2008 Australian Open.
Spent some time on the phone building a relationship with a new friend
And, I received this awesome Valentine's Day card from Anastasia.
Don't know Ana? She one of my tennis academy students. Ana is 17 years old. Her tennis is pretty good... she is #1 Ukraine junior and has top 100 WTA potential.
More importantly, Ana accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior recently.
Here's what Ana wrote to me in her card...
Dear Scotty!
When I saw this card I knew that is especially for you! Because you are teacher! And not only teacher but coach, father, friend, listener, helper... and so many things just in you!!! For me you are Blessing from God!
I thank Lord for you being in my life and I thank you so much for everything you did and doing in my life! If there is anything I need help with I know that I can be confident about you. And thank you so much for opening my eyes and found God as my Savior.
This gift of Salvation are very expensive and none of us on earth can pay back the same price for that, but we can do our best in everything we do & serve as hard as we can!
:) Love You!!! Anastasia 2/14/07
32. (note: on ICTA blog, this WTA player went to him thinking he was what the claimed and left after a few short weeks, claiming he is a fraud and not a Christian)
Right now as I type I am sitting in ICTA's Exhibitor's booth directly inside the world's 6th largest pro tournament.
And right now I'm really excited to go see ICTA alumni (**1) play tennis in her first round main draw match. It's been really great seeing (**1) here at the tournament. She has come a long way from the girl she was just one year ago.
I am still to this day so grateful that God used me to intervene in (**1) suicide just over a year ago. Then, she came to my tennis academy in Florida where God used me to let (**1) know he does love her and care for her! Now, here she is still alive... and playing the best tennis of her life!!
From (**1) wanting to commit suicide from the culmination of years of physical, sexual, mental, and spiritual abuse... to (**1) getting healthy and playing pro tennis again!
Speaking of tennis... I'm also excited to have been able to help her with her tennis! So great! I enjoyed rebuilding (**1) spiritually... and physically. And I completely overhauled her tennis game! Footwork, forehand, fitness, core strength, strategies & tactics. So much fun!
Hey, before training with me (**1) needed 33 tournaments to reach top 100 WTA...
Then, after just 2 months training with me she needed just 13! Not too bad, huh!?
Keep (**1) in your prayers as she fights a difficult fight to learn who is and who isn't truly her friend, and to help her continue to seek God in all she does.
Gotta go watch her match!
God bless,
Scotty

This is really exciting. Rach has already met two new world class WTA ranked players who have become her friends... and new little sisters!
She has received host housing for her time at the FNMC National City Classic ITF $75,000. Plus, she has received a WTA point by being accepted into the qualying draw, which nearly doubled her point total and will raise her WTA ranking by nearly 100 spots. Plus, Rach has earned $160 (minus taxes and entry) to help cover her expenses for this mission trip and for some of her next one!
Each day will bring new friendships and new opportunity for the ICTA Pro Tennis Team. An ITF 75K is the highest level ITF tournament before WTA Tier 3 events.
The competitors in this event are phenomenal! Camile Pin in the main draw is ranked 98 WTA!
And Story Tweedy Yates in the qualifier is ranked 352 WTA! The ICTA Women's Pro Tennis Team will make many frienships with the other players.
Through these contacts and friendships, players from around the world will come to know Christ deeper, or maybe for the first time.
From this, also, the ICTA Tennis Academy will gain new students who will come and train for tennis, for Christian missions, and for further discipleship in Christ.
Players who have been abused will be offered shelter and safety. Young players and their families will receive guidance and support for further success on the pro tour.

I am Katerina Yvkenoia. I am former russian #3 juniors years last. Scott paschal is coach for me. I am playing USTA professionally in ICTA team. I found God with ICTA. My picture as well as picture with teammates will on website Oct.7. My team has 8 WTA teammates. My coach is best. He is the most smart and loves all players. Even other players not on team. My coach teaches about God first, then tennis. This good. I watch him coach many, maybe 20, WTA players on tour. Coaches go to my coach, Scott paschal, with questions. Scott answers and helps all.  This "concerned Parent" is a coward liar and wants to only hurt Coach scott. This" Amy Osterman" is not a real person and is also posing as the"concerned parent" You are a coward and a liar. I will respect you none. You gutless wolf (additional wolf: 1, 2, 3, 4)  attacking defenseless persons. Are you from rival academy? Cowards. Are you abuser of teammates? Coward.  My coach, Scott paschal, I glady give you picture with and teammates recently, 2 days ago. Visit on internet. Coach scott does not brag and boast. He only works and works. We are important to him, not himself. He gives all efforts to us each and all day. My father has much and will pay to find this gutless wolf attacking me by attacking my coach. You will see my picture and know I am not a liar as you. I will be top 50 WTA soon and you will still be a wolf, I will tell all about God. My coach, Scott Paschal, and my coach Melody Snelen are for me. They are best.
35. (note: the attack on this message board from none other than Paschal and the board was closed as the board was flooded with hundreds of harassing emails in a short period of time, as were others such as www.tennis.info board.  Posted on TMI message board September 26, 2002 by ICTA)
http://pub32.bravenet.com/forum/2734512755/fetch/4085/
Rev. Kraft and others,  I did speak with ICTA. This is what I learned.  There are often attacks on Christian organizations by those with non Christian agendas. Mr. Paschal is a real, living person. I highly doubt the "Amy Osterman" who wrote this attacking message is a person whose real name is Amy Osterman. Most likely this is an attack by a "wolf in sheep's clothing." The person who wrote this vindictive message obviously has an agenda against Mr. Paschal. He or she could have just as easily contacted the ICTA, right? He or she could have easily found answers to these attacking, agenda laden questions with a simple email to the ICTA. But instead, they chose to post here! The ICTA said they have never had contact by anyone named "Amy Osterman!"  As I have contacted ICTA, they have informed me that there is an individual who had posted negative, slanderous emails on different message boards.   They say internet attacks usually happen 2 or 3 times per month. Usually, it is a person who hates the idea of Christian tennis. There are also vindictive coaches from other academies. ICTA is a ministry that gets in the trenches for God. That often leaves them open to attack by cowardly groups or individuals! I applaude ICTA! And so should we all!  As the owner of this tennisministry, Rev. Kraft, I would expect you to be more protective of persons/groups promoting Christianity to the
world! Have you contacted ICTA and let them know they are possibly under a spiritual warfare attack within your messageboard?  Or did you just feed the ego of the person(s) attacking Christian tennis?

Tuesday, March 18, 2003 Hi everyone, This is scott!  Wow, I feel like Elvis! I just met with Jeff here in Key Biscyne. I'm on the www at the Nas 100. Phil, WOW!! You've been busy! And highly imaginative! You have never been mentioned on our website. Great job bringing attention to yourself, though. Arsenni, good man. No problems here. I would recommend not judging someone so quickly though. Jeff, I will work towards what we discussed in private. Bob, I truly do think there is even one USPTA pro here coaching at the Nas 100. Wish you were here to help us. It is hot! My feet are tired.  I let Jeff know I will fill him in on everything when we get our academy set up. Jeff is a talented hard working photographer whom I would like to gain the trust of. He takes care of our players and cares.  I will not post here again. You may all feel free to email me at ballboy4jesus@yahoo.com. Or check out our website at www.ictatennis.net.  And be sure to ask me about our track and field ministry. We have one of the absolute top female athletes in the history of US track and field running this ministry with me.  That ought to get you guys going!

Arseni (**6) hot air
Mr. Arsenni (**6), You first entered this messageboard by attempting to slander a fellow tennis pro named Scott P of a Christian tennis association. What I find intersting is how you unknowingly quickly both established Scott at ICTA as a Christian tennis missionary from at least 4 years ago while simultaniously shooting yourself in the foot by posing as a Christian woman.  And it seems pretty wierd how you steal photos of players to make it seem you can coach. What high powered, legitimate tennis coach does that?  I posted before as the college tennis player from Texas. I called Scott P a few months ago. Remember!?  Maybe the article should have been "Arsenni (**6)... Man or Woman." Or " Arsenni (**6)... Photo Thief or Famous Tennis Coach."  I am glad to see you have established your legitimacy.

Natural Tennis - Peter (**9)  I find it quite incredible that Arseni (**6) - and the Natural Tennis Academy - should be making such a big deal about Peter (**9) being its Director. He is a raquet stringer! A racquet stringer???  He's learned how to be a Director of a Tennis Academey and teaches/certifies tennis pros as a result of what he's leaned threading gut through holes in a tennis racquet???  So he strung racquets for Thomas Muster. So what? There are a dozen people in the dungeons under the stands at major tournaments who string racquets for top players - some of them have never played a tennis match in their life!  Mr (**6)'s claims to be an aithority in tennis become more pathetic every time he opens his mouth. A REAL tennis pro.

Read the april 7 update from the article on the chriustian tennis deal on the front page of this website.  This Arsenni (**7) idiot stole pictures of professional players from the owner of this website, plus this idiot posed as a christian woman while trying to trap a christian tennis organization. read the messageboard about this arsenni (**6) phony.  This clown got ran off from jamaica and he's gotten run off from here.  Get an original idea, moron.this guy claims to have the need to hire 70 tennis pros. Liar.

I'm convinced you don't want facts!  Message  I am a man who has lived much longer than you. I am a man who has seen your type of jealousy and envy in many industries for many years. I am a man who knows you are just a fly. A jealous pesky fly who is buzzing around trying to create crap As you sit on your jealous butt reading this, Scotty is working. His coaches, his desk staff, his restaurant staff, his pool staff, his maintenance staff, his academy students are all working. You are reading this and fuming with jealousy. You three people wanted to have proof of his Christian tennis academy? Right? You wanted proof of his abilities? Right? The proof is right here. He has one of the top positions in the tennis industry. He fought and won over intense international competition. This is Tom Gullikson's home tennis center and he teaches here. We know world class. You should see Scotty and Gully. They are both world class.  Yet, you still doubt. The Bible promises this doesn't it? Cast those stones.

Scotty is here and we love it!  To whomever reads this, I will say to you Mr. Scotty Paschal is the absolute best thing to have happened to our club. This young man has worked from sunup to after sundown every single day. Scotty has brought to our club an entirely new attitude and we are all extremely appreciative. We are a very exclusive, ritzy, well do do bunch who usually think mostly of ourselves. Scotty is bringing us all closer together and his enormous enthusiasm is contagious.  The person who was kicked out of this club had been causing trouble long before Scotty arrived... and just to let you know, Scotty brought the person back into the club just two days after the person was told to leave.  Scotty's young players are a blessing and a refreshing addition to our club. This club is enormous and is valued at many millions of dollars. Approx 7 to 10 million dollars. Scotty is our general manager. Everyone reports to Scotty and he treats everyone like gold. Write what you want, but I speak for 99% of our members and we give Scotty and his Christian crew 100% of our support. And we give Scotty's Christian tennis academy 100% of our support. His players are an absolute delight to watch and to interact with us on a daily basis. Scotty has been hired direcly by the owner of this club and is the new management. He reports only to the owner and makes 100% of the decisions here at the PRC. Your little article was torn up by the owner of this club. And you know what else, I personally have even more respect for Scotty because of that ignorant article because I have been in the tennis business as a younger man and I do know how jealous and vindictive people can become when things do not go their way. This is a tough business and Scotty is a tough guy. I am glad he is our tough guy. From an appreciative old man.

Scotty has explained Phil to us!  Mr. Phil, you should be ashamed. You are a very sad man. I am very unimpressed with you as a person and a pro. While Scotty has said nothing but positive, good things about you, I can see your problems deep inside of you young man. You are a very bored, jealous person who contacted Scotty about a job and Scotty turned you down. I can see why. Why should Scotty have invested $24,000 on your two courts? Why should anyone answer your jealous questions? Try spending less time playing on the internet and more time developing your business or yourself.  I see only Phil and Arsenni on this messageboard as the ones who do not appreciate our Scotty. There are hundreds of us here who love our Scotty, his Christian academy, and his Christian crew.  That looks like several hundred for Scotty to maybe three or four against him. You do the math my jealous friend, Phil. An appreciative old man, again.

Great Things Happening at the ICTA in Palm Coast  We have got it going. With Scotty and Tommy Gulickson in tandom there is not limit to our future here. The Academy is expanding by leaps and bounds. We will have more top 100 players minstering to convert people to christianity than ever thought possible. Scotty is a great coach that brings out the best in our games. All the critics will crumble before this prograss. Come see us in operation. The members are thrilled with what Scotty is doing here.

This has been noted  I will let the author of this message receive notice that you have been identified. This will go in your file.  To those reading the negative messages, the author has been identified. This person has committed felony acts of child abuse. This person will pay for her crimes in a court of law in the USA.  Building a criminal case of child abuse against this person has taken two years and one month. There are many types of child abuse in this world. Because of the nature of the abuse, this case has taken longer to build in order to prove the abuse in a court of law.  Sending someone to jail can be a difficult decision. Especially when you know this person. The preference would be for the person to receive help and begin a new life. Jail time can be difficult. The consequences of becoming a convicted felon are life changing.  The children have been heard. They are now adults. The person who is writing these negative articles has been identified.

47. (note: First email received from Paschal, 8/30/2002)
Bob, You will find information on www.ictatennis.net to help you answer your questions.  The site will be updated after we move to Florida.  You will find the new information helpful.  My phone number is 817 563 5454.  I do not want this number published or made available to anyone without my consent. I spent about 20 min reviewing your website.  I am extremely busy at the moment, but I wanted to see what you actually do.  I reviewed a newsletter, also.  You seem to be an information gatherer.  You then share this information to those visiting. I read through your messageboard.  I noticed very few people, outside of a core group of 5, actually have ever posted.  (note from Bob: actually we had many postings from people who wrote about many subjects that helped them)  I did not realize it was so little used.  I can possibly help with that.  We have thousands and thousands, now. How can I help you with your ministry? We've decided to add a messageboard to our site for Christians to post relative tennis material.  Any and all slanderous material will not be allowed.  I noticed you still had the posting from "Amy Osterman" on your messageboard.  That truly disappoints me.  We will develop a messageboard that will not allow such attacks.  I read your response to the child abuser posing as "Amy Osterman."  How rediculous, Bob!  If anyone ever has a concern with the conduct  of an academy, they should immediately contact the local authorities!  During the next 12 months, you and the general public will learn of ICTAcademies in USA, Europe, Canada, and Australia.  Each will be responsible for their own operating procedures.  For me to answer specifics for each is outside of my job description.  Each academy has seperate directors, coaches and players, yet all are under the umbrella of the ICTA.  As for my academy, when a student contacts us, we send them an application.  Upon review of the application we may decide to phone the prospective student/parents.  If the student/parents will be a good fit with our current students, they will possibly be accepted for training. At this point, I would prefer to not be part of a tenniministry.com  newsletter.  The reason for this is that I do not see where you are very active.  (note from Bob: I have been in ministry either part-time or full-time since 1986)  You have a free website that has not been updated in a year.  You also left your membership without a leader. (note from Bob: I have never left tennis as a ministry)  You live in China, where I have many friends, yet none of them know you.  (note from Bob: I have been in China since 1992 and have many ministry friends here) Your messageboard is little used. (note from Bob: The old ministry message board was very active until it had to be removed do to Paschal attacking with hundreds of of malicious postings)  I have also had contact in the past from members of tennisministry.com who have become very disheartened from your lack of support for your ministry. (note from Bob: we do not have members of tennisministry.com or org.  Just people people who follow along on the website and emails)  Two of them I have helped with Christian guidance while they relocated and found good jobs. The main difference between you and I is that I am very quiet about my personal work for God. (note from Bob: I do not promote my work with players on the website, outside of a few endorsements which the players willing gave.)   I allow my players to be our voice.  I work 80 to 90 hrs a week.  I will soon slow down a bit with my oncourt coaching when I relocate to florida, as I would like to further develop our leaders in our different ministries. As of now, I do not know you either. What I do know is that you quit your work for God for over a year. (note from Bob: I have never left tennis as a ministry) You say it is because you had a child and from 9/11. (note from Bob, yes I do have two beautiful children and I am happy to spend time with them and 9/11 was hard on me as some of my former students were in the World Trade Center that day)   I have never seen you at a tournament.  (I have been playing tournaments since 1970 and at attending Grand Slam events for many years) You seem to take most of your information from Christian magazines/articles and place it on your site.  I also noticed you spoke to Mormons.  (I was asked by a Father who is a Christian tennis coach to help his son relocate from a Morman university.  I met his son at BYU and was asked to speak on my Christian faith by the coach to the team members.  I gladly did.) Was that a fundraiser, or were you trying to help them out of their cult?  Or do you support their cult?  Do you make public your donations received?  (Financial records are found at our website)  Do you answer to the local government as a legitimate non profit? (The church that my wife and I are sent out of is US government licensed and also Hong Kong Tennis Ministry Association (HKTMA) is a Hong Kong government licensed approved non-profit)  and Where and when did you file for non profit status?   See, Bob, we do not know you.  And what I have learned, deeply concerns me.  Why is Dennis no longer on your "advisory board?"  (note from Bob: People come and they go on an advisory for various reasons, as I remember he did not have time)Why do you not have a legitimate Board of Directors?  (Tennisministry comes under the covering of a local church in USA and we do have a board of advisors and have since the beginning of this ministry.  HKTMA has a governing board of directors.) Or do you? We are currently attempting to visit with 5000 people at the USOPEN!  I noticed the Complete Player Institute name dropping on your messageboard.  Well, instead of hanging around a top player and bragging about it, we go out and try to share God's word.  It has cost us thousands of dollars and countless man hours.  Our volunteers are working at a feverish pace. Bob, I have never taken this much time to write my own mother.  That makes me disappointed in myself.  I have allowed a child abuser and a stranger from China to take 2  hours of my time away from God's work.  My time could have been much better spent!  I am often contacted by strange people who just want to cause others to hurt or to make themselves seem really important.  I have to ask myself why you have let a person who has abused two of my players, and continues to stalk them, post on your messageboard even when I was able to give you their ISP number which you can trace on your Bravenet.  My players are highly important to me.  You seem to not care, Bob. That concerns me. SP

Bob, I'm on tour with a dozen of our WTA players.  We're in S. Carolina at a 10K.  Then, N. Carolina this Sat.   Then Winter Park, Fl in ten days.  We also have a rally in Florida with a few hundred ICTA families/friends at Orlando. I'm not really available right now.  I'm at a library for internet access for the first time in 5 days. Do you have any contacts in Pakistan?  I have a player interested in coming here to train with me.  I need to find out if he is legitimate. Take care and keep us in your prayers as our players earn WTA points and witness to other about God. SP

49. (note: First email from Rachael Snelen, 9/27/2002)
Dear Rev Kraft, Hi!!  Thanks for writing me!!  I just received your emails!!!!!!!  Sorry about the delay.  I am touring the USTA professional circuit with the ICTA WTA pro team.  We have been to greenville, SC and are now in Raliegh, NC.  In two days we will be in Winter Park, Florida for another 10K.  And YES! I am training with Coach Scott.  You would love him.  We sure do!!!! Our team on this tour has 8 girls of whom 6 train full time and two travel with us in US tournaments, but live in China.  Training is awesome.  We train in Texas and Florida for the most part.  It can be really hard to reach Coach Scott unless you are part of the academy teams.  I saw his inbox of his email yesterday and it had over 30 emails that came in overnight!    He is also heavily involved with the USTA High Performance dept. and is teaching them how he has successfully developed so many WTA players an! d brough them together.  He speaks at Churches/high schools/colleges and is writing a book on sports supplements for women on the WTA tour in conjunction with the USTA trainers.  I am currently training 3 to 4 hrs a day, 4days each week while I also coach junior ICTA ITF players and tour with them as a coach on Ultimate Ace mission trips.  My schedule is full as is my life.  Before the ICTA found us my sister and i were in pretty bad shape.  I believe God led us to the ICTA.  There was a person in our lives who was very bad to us.  We have been starved, beaten, sexually molested.  It was awful up until God came into the picture.  Coach scott stood up to this person and found us sponsors while also calling the police to protect us.  Unfortunately this person is still out there, but fortunately will soon be in jail.  I guess I should just tell you this person is our mother.  She has been diagnosed with a disorder call! ed Munchausen Sydrome by Proxy.  It often affect persons who had bad childhoods.  These people usually are nurses of caretakers.  They often kill the people they are supposed to take care of.  It is hard to help them and hard to prove, but we are thankfully physically away from her.  Our father died in November.  He was very sick all the time. Our lives now are very good and we thank God someone like coach scott gave up his life to God to try and make a difference in the lives of others.  You should come to Florida and visit us during the Winter Park 10K tournament.  It is near Orlando.  I have a twin sister and we are very easy to spot.  Ask for Rachel or melody!!!! We will have close to 20 girls playing this tournament!!  I will take a picture with my teammates and put it on the website!!  How about I write "Hi Bob!" on a piece of paper while I wave... just in case you can't make it!!! Well, I gotta go hit.  It was raining but has cleared up!  Hopefully, see you soon.  Thanks again for finally writing to me.  I hope you are ok. Rach

Hi Bob,` Please take me off your mailing list.  I have discovered that you will not support person's like myself who have been abused. (note from Bob: I would totally support anyone abused and try my best to refer them to the proper authority for help)  That really stinks.  I trusted you.  To see my mom on your messageboard under her former employee workname makes me really upset.  When she then poses as another person I realize that you are confused and maybe not quite right with God.  (note from Bob: I am not perfect, but I am now quite right with God) My coach has explained how he did fill you in on everything, but you seem to not care.  (note from Bob: yes, I care for all people that are being abused, and Rachael is definately abusing others.) Are you in competition with the ICTA?  (note from Bob: just interested in making sure that others have more information on ICTA before they step off the cliff) We are not in competition with you.   I really wanted to help your ministry become something, but you have pushed my help away for now.  I will still pray for your ministry to finally become successful as I know you have tried for some time. Sorry to go, Rach

51.  (note: Third email received from Paschal, 109//2002)
Hi Bob, My players have become greatly discouraged by you.  They have seen your messageboard.  I do remember giving you the ISP number of the person abusing 2 of my players.  You have the ability through Bravenet to identify this person logging into your system on the day and time of the message left by "Amy Osterman."  I gave you full proof of who the person was claiming to be "Amy Osterman."  Rachel also said she recently contacted you by email and explained her mother's abuse.  When I have proved "Amy Osterman" is not a real person, but IS the abuser of Rachel and her sister... why do you leave the message from the child abuser on your board? (note from Bob: This posting simply asked about the credabily of Scott Paschal.  I asked Scott to send me any legal papers to verify his statement and they were never received.)   Bob, as I understand it, I will coach more WTA pro players this year than anyone in the world.  My credentials speak loudly to those involved in professional tennis.  As for impressing the world with my credentials... I am not interested.  My schedule is full.  My players are dedicated.  My academys are growing.  Our players are winning people over to Christ. At this point I am not interested in a partnership with another tennis academy.  I did help send a pro to work for the CPI.  He was a guy who wanted to work for me, but did not have the skills necessary to train pro players.   He is a good guy and one of my players liked him very much.  I will be glad to send them business as people in that area contact me.  I will also be glad to offer support as needed. I do not know you Bob.  I have never even seen you.  What I do know is that you live in China and have married a young Chinese girl.  (note from Bob: My wife was 29 years old and we were married in 1997 and I have never been married before.).  I do know that you left your ministry (note from Bob: I have never left ministry or the church)  when it needed you most.  I have heard from many people who were involved with you, but were then hurt by your leaving your responsibilities.  Quite a few contacted me with their discouragement.   I do know that you allow child abusers to post on your messageboard.  (note from Bob: to the best of my knowledge no child abuser, except Scott Paschal and Rachel Snelen have posted on our ministry board)  I do know Dennis does not want to be part of your "Board of Advisors" any longer.  I have many questions about you, Bob.  Where does the money go that is donated to your ministry? (The financial statements for the ministry are clearly stated at www.tennisministry.org) Are you a legitimate not for profit ministry?  (yes goverement registerd in Hong Kong and the US church is US goverment registered) Where do you post your financial information?  (note from Bob: clearly found on our ministry site) I find it unbelievable that you have all of the sudden come back to your ministry and then have questions about me! The ICTA has kept Christian tennis on the map while you were off feeling sorry for yourself, Bob.  If you want a relationship with me, then I need to see more than a guy showing up to USPTA conventions and claiming a Christian ministry.  (note from Bob: I have never been to a USPTA convention) How do I know you are even going to be around next week?  You seem to like to make yourself visible and then write about your travels.  I don't.  I work my rear off building professional tennis players.  I'm not here to brag about myself, Bob.  I'm here to support and guide those God has sent to me.  I do not have to make myself or my businesses available or accountable to yourself or others... I am only accountable to God.  Scott

52. (note: Third email received from Rachael Snelen, 10/09/2002)
Bob, The ICTA is involved closely with the 2nd largest church in the USA as well as over 20 churches around the world.  I have personally taught tennis for the ICTA at 16 Christian sports camps where we have all enjoyed much fellowship.  Scott, my coaches, myself are all involved with Christian fellowship.  You are the one who left your ministry. (note from Bob: I have never left ministry) You left us all.  I talked to Scott this morning after I read your email.  He said email is a very hard way to get a person's thoughts and ideas through to another person.  He siad it is better to speak face to face and have as much time as is needed to understand each other.  Email is a good thing, but is very limited. You seem to feel that Scott is the ICTA.  Scott is only the director of the academies.  I think you are confused. As for accountability,  the ICTA is accountable to over 45,000 persons who are involved in different churches and is promoted within these churches. These people help us with directing our ministry.   We work closely with dozens of people in the tennis industry.  The blessings of being able to become involved in the lives of professional tennis players is a direct result of our many contacts.  My life has totally changed as a result of God's blessings and the hard work of the hundreds of people I have met who are part of the ICTA.  I do know of Jim Jones aweful ministry.  It is stupid of you to try to attack the ICTA and Scott this way.  (note from Bob: I have never attacked ICTA or Scott but consider that he is closely parelling cults that have existed)  Scott is  building professional tennis players around the world who play tournaments and tell others about God.  You seem to want to find compare this to a psycho.  The ICTA receives threats daily from those not involved in Christianity.  Scott is personally going to smuggle Bibles into China soon with the help of a large Christian ministry.   We all fight to bring Christianity to the world.  When the pro players from around the world speak of God in their home countries because they have discovered God through ICTA ministries, I think that is a great thing and I think you need to realize this.  Scott has showed me your emails to him and his responses to you.  He showed all of his staff this morning.  I showed him this email you sent me.  He said that there is much you do not know about who we are accountable to and that you are upset because of his email he just sent. (note from Bob: I have never been upset that I received from Scott the Snelen's as it just shows more of their character) The ICTA will have new high performance pro academies in USA, Australia, and in Europe.  These academies will be run by seperate directors and have their own direction to fit the needs of the local population and I see you do not understand this.  Each academy will have its own church(s) they will be bonded with. I hope and pray you will be able to see the value of the ICTA.   Many tennis ministries have failed and it is amazing that you seem to want to attack us.  I think it is great that you have 4000 members, but you left them.  The ICTA has over 60,000 people that have  signed up for our newsletter during the last 2 years.  Our USA academy staff and full time players personally attend the 2nd largest church in the country and have a home base with them.  When we advertised this fact last year, many enemies from around the world would threaten the church with bomb attacks.  After 9/11 tragedy by terrorists, the ICTA board decided to not advertise church homes and academies until the terrorist threats stopped.  All death threats have been given to the proper authorities.  Chris said we should mention this in the newsletter.  Maybe your knowing this will help you understand things better.  When w! e smuggle Bibles into China, it would be good to meet you.  I would like that.  I also think Scotts email to you meant that he does not know you and as such he is not accountable to you.  He showed he 4 emails from just last week from people who were part of tennisministry but became hurt when you quit.  (note from Bob: The only people who have attacked me or seemed distrubed is Paschal or Snelen's.) That is hard for our staff because there have been quite a few. You should email Scott again.  He is Italian and can be stubborn, but that is also a good thing because he always keeps growing Christian tennis for all of us, even you.  You are in my prayers. Rach 

53. (note: fourth email received from Rachael Snelen, 10/16/2002)
Rev Kraft,  For you to judge my coach based on emails and rumors only is irresponsible.   You are not getting emails from people who know Scott.    You are getting emails from people our mother knows and she is asking them to send the emails to you.   She is obsessed with stalking me and my sister.       I think once you just acknowledge this may be a posibility, then Coach Scott will be more open to you.    Right now, he has dealt with our mother for a very long time and it has been very hard for him.     Coach Scott is fantastic.    Make no mistake about that!   He is willing to defend us when nobody else would.       In return we have worked very hard and are now playing pro tennis as well a coaching the juniors for the ICTA.       Coach Scott is building the ! ICTAEurope ministry right now and has very little time for our mother's attacks.     Since she is using you at the moment, that kinda leaves out Coach Scott's help for tennisministry.    Coach Scott was at the beginning of Promise Keepers and is very influencial with them.    He also speaks regularly at our local churches.    In Estes Park last year at the ICTA parent's getaway, there were 15 tennis pros from around the USA who all are there for each other.       In the last week we have had 161 people sign up for the newsletter.    This could benefit ministry in Hong Kong very much.    I think if you began to stand up for the ICTA then my coach would appreciate you more.    My mother has started all of this and for that I am sorry.      She found you on the internet and felt she could hurt us through you;    Unfortunately, what she has done has only hurt Christian tennis.    Satan is using my mom to hurt the possibility of you and ICTA bonding together.      Please don't send me any more emails as I do not like being reminded about how hateful my mother is because every time you contact me I know she has misled you and she has disrupted the way coach scott and the other staff are able to see you.  (note from Bob: I sent Rachael one email in reply to an email to me and I encouraged her to seek help and she did receive our ministry newsletter)  Rach

Whomever posted this I say thank you!   I knew something was very strange about Bob Kraft.  Kraft has lived off of ICTA. (note from Bob: I have had no contact with ICTA, outside of asking them a few questions to verify their claims)  Without ICTA, Kraft would have nothing to talk about.   I will bet this message posting and yours will be deleted! Thank you my friend as some have been warned of Kraft.   I have many questions for Kraft.  He refuses to answer them.   Let us all please be aware this man is in China and no one can watch him to see his true life.   He comes to USA and raises money from cults such as Mormonism.  I see Kraft as a man who uses the Christian nature of the USA for his own gain.   I have read though this board carefully.  I DO NOT TRUST BOB KRAFT.    He is a wolf in sheeps clothing.   I will watch his Satanboard here more closely.

Rev. Bob Kraft and others,  My friend, Scott Paschal, and an organization he represents called ICTA mean much to me.  Scott Paschal helped me when I needed help the most.  He trained my kid for free.   He sent money and groceries.  He ran up his own personal credit card debt trying to keep my bills paid.  Scott led me to know and have a personal relationship with God.  Scott recommended to everyone how they need to support your organization.   ICTA people posted messages on your message board to help keep your ministry looking active.   Scott knew you had left your ministry for many months and felt life was tough for you at that time.  I look at your messageboard now and 90% of it is gone.  It is gone because you can see firsthand how ICTA members were all of the support you had.   Rev. Kraft look at your messageboard.   It is just your answers now.   There has been almost no one else in the last year but ICTA members trying to support tennisministry.  I spoke to Scott today, Th the 21st.   He decided ICTA could no longer support you for now.  I live in Arlington.   Scott was born here.  Scott spent the better part of this morning with his dog at the Vet while it underwent massive treatment.  He is coming to see me this afternoon.   We will talk about you and ICTA's official response to your recent actions.  You have wrongly hurt the only people supporting this messageboard.   I know the person who has abused two of his players.   So do you.   We pray for this person as Scott feels God to great things through her life.   You do not know who posed as Amy Osterman on the messageboard a few messages down from here.  Try to find an Amy Osterman, Rev. Kraft.   Email this person.   Ask for a phone number.  If there is such a person, Scott will personally appologise to you for withholding information about ICTA from you and will welcome you into his family.   Scott would like to meet and shake the hand of Amy Osterman and personally invite them all to a free month at ICTAcademy Florida!  He would like you to be there while you all get a picture with Amy!  If there truly is an Amy Osterman.  ICTA has developed it's own message board.  For those interested in visiting it, log on to www.ictatennis.net.  God bless all and we hope this gets cleared up quickly so God's work can be done with the strength of two joined ministries instead of two seperate ministries. - Patrick

59. (note: Fourth email from Pashcal, 12/03/02)
Hi Bob, I have asked my secretary to type this letter to you for me.  She and I spoke over the phone while she wrote this message.   She is to type this in my account and send it to you.I am currently on my way to Florida and do not have email access.  I am writing to appologise to you.   The ICTA messageboard was not meant to air our differences with you.  I have asked for those messages to be deleted.  You are a good man and have worked hard.  My appologies.  Our messageboard will not be used any longer to defend ICTA or to say anything negative about another person or organization. I would like to offer you a suggestion.  That suggestion is to please look at this from our point of view.   As we train many young professional athletes, we must be very protective of them.  Rachel Snelen, our ICTA player who emailed with you, confided with you that her mother abused her and her sister.   I sent you Mrs. Snelen's IP number to show there was never an Amy Osterman.  Because Mrs. Snelen is a danger to her children, ICTA has provided safety for them.  Mrs. Snelen follows them all over the country.  She has sent me death threats. Mrs. Snelen uses two computers.  One is at her work at Delta Airlines.  The other is a laptop computer she uses at home and on the road.  The computers have separate internet provider numbers and separate computer id numbers.  The IP number of her laptop is ---.228.32.85 or something very similar.  This service is based out of Palmdale, Ca.  The computer ID number of her laptop is --.102.188.209.  This number is based from Irving, Tx.  I ask you to log into your Bravenet message forum and look for either of these numbers and contact me if you see them.  You can quickly find the IP number in your forum by going to Delete Messages.  This will take you to each posting.  Next to each posting will be an id number.  Please see if Mrs. Snelen's id numbers are involved under false names.  With me right now, I have Mrs. Snelen's IP number for her computer at her work, which is ---.174.22.23 or something very similar.  I do not have her computer ID number with me.   This IP number lists in Atlanta, Georgia which is where  Delta Airlines is based and where their internet mainframe is based.  I do not know which computer she used to pose as Amy Osterman and A Concerned Parent on your site.   Please check for:  --.102.188.209 ---.228.32.85  ---.174.22.23  There is one more, but I do not have it with me.  I have many emails from Mrs. Snelen.  On these emails, my email provider shows all computer id  and internet provider numbers.  I would be glad to forward these emails to you for you to cross reference the numbers for your own verification purposes.  Your own ID number is ---.140.96.55. I will be in Florida this week.  My cell phone number is 817 239 3185.  My home phone is 817 563 5454.  Call me anytime on the cell while I am in Florida.  I am so very sorry I let my reactions to Mrs. Snelen get in the way of a friendship with you.  She is truly the most hateful person I have ever met.  The last 3 weeks, Mrs. Snelen has began to appologise for many, many things.  I think our prayers are working.  I have endured over 3 years of hate from this woman.  She has been attending Christian counseling, lately.  I will try to contact CPI while I am in Florida.  Dick (**10) contacted me a few months ago asking to work for me at our new academy in Florida.  He mentioned CPI wanted him to work for them.  I recommended Dick work for CPI because Dick had no prior experience with professional tennis.  This is all I know of CPI.  Dick wrote me last week that he had to move back home to Oregon because CPI was having a very hard time.  I think I could help CPI quite a bit.  Again, I wish to give my appologies.  Please forgive me.  You are in my prayers.  I should not have let Mrs. Snelen's false postings on your messageboard affect me so much.  I have been very busy preparing for tournaments and ICTAcademies, plus growing the ICTA ministry in Greece, Italy, Australia, USA, Taiwan as well as a partnership with two top ATP players.  I was obviously too busy to see my mistakes.  Please forgive me. Scott

Hi Bob, This is Scott at ICTA.   Please read this email with an open heart because I do want to help. I support you and your efforts.  I support your ideas.  I am not here to judge at all.  Please know that just because someone writes a long negative article about me, doesn't mean that the article is true.   Phil contacted me and I liked him instantly.  We have much in common and I wanted to help him so very much.  After a month, he asked for $15,000 to renovate two courts.   I supported the idea and sent out an email to my friends.   Each of them said it was a bad idea for our finances.   I contacted Phil, told him no, and said I have a new plan.  I told him he and I would have to get the renovation money through prayer.  Phil became very angry as he was really counting on me to give him $15,000.   I contacted many people and asked them to pray about Phil's situation and give it to God.  Well, within a week Phil had the money he needed!  It was really a miracle.   The money was provided by a chance meeting between Phil and  a couple from Holland.  But, Phil was very angry with ICTA because I said I could not give him $15,000 ,and now that he had the money, set out to get me.   So, the article was written and for about two months Phil really said some hurtful things about me to everyone he could find including my brother, David.  The hard part for me is not the mean things Phil said.   But the fact that God received no recognition for the miracle!  Phil receiving the over $15,000 within a week of our prayers is incredible.  It was a miracle and to this day I am excited about it.  Unfortunately, Phil is not setting up an ICTA tennis academy and is instead glorifying himself while attempting to take his frustrations out.  ----.info and its owner Jeff D are something I completely support.  Jeff is a good man.  A solid man and there are few like him.  I have seen he and his wife work very hard.  I will soon be in a postion to welcome Jeff to come and see just what it is ICTA tries to do to promote Christianity through sports, but more importantly, I want to earn Jeff's respect and trust.  I cannot begin to tell you how difficult Jeff's job actually is and to be able to do it with the innovative ideas he has is truly an art form.  Jeff sent me an email today.  Actually two.  One concerned you.  I believe what Jeff wrote and it has prompted me to write this email to you.  I would like to ask you to do something which might take you out of your current comfort zone, Bob.  Before I ask, I want you to know I do not consider myself or ICTA  competition for you. (note from Bob: ICTA has never been competition and I more interested in truth)  I am a tennis coach who loves to see good things happen in peoples lives.  When you were no longer involved in internet ministry in 2001-2002 (note from Bob: I have always been involved in ministry), I thought it was time for ICTA to go online.  You showed where tennis ministry via internet is needed.  You were a pioneer in a way.  Here is what I would like ask you, Bob.  "Is there any posible way you can forgive me for the 'angry' emails I wrote to you a year ago?" Last year, I was really dissapointed in you.  I shouldn't have been.  I was dissapointed because good men like Paul (##10) from Africa who trusted your leadership had been completely dropped by you when you shunned your responsibilities to you ministry.  (note from Bob: Paschal would find emails on our ministry message board and contact people.   ##10 stated that he did not make this statement) You built up the dreams of some people in different areas of the world and then left them hanging.   Well, they came to me via our new website and I didn't handle it well.  Paul really trusted and believed in what you led him to do.  Then he was left to fend for himself.   That was very hard for me to understand about you.  People's live and their families depended on your leadership.  I continued to support you to everyone who mentioned you, though.   When you came back to your internet ministry, the feeling was that you came back because of ICTA and the fear you had of us taking something that was "yours.". (note from Bob: I am just interested in truth); Your former members in positions of leadership (note from Bob: no leadership structure has ever existed) who became ICTA members had spent a lot of time on the internet with me, so I came to know and care about them and their families.  This led me to not be very impressed with you at the time.  In fact, I was really hacked off...which was my bad.  Time has passed and now I am sorry I was angry with you, Bob.  Whatever was going on in your life is your business and I should of welcomed you in with open arms.  Instead, when you called and left two voice messages,  (note from Bob: I have never spoken to Paschal on the phone or left a message) I did not want to have much to do with you.  When you emailed (note from Bob, I have emailed him 2-3 times replying to his emails and always asking him to verify his claims) , I had spent months being upset with you and wasn't too happy with you for your treatment of those former TM members who trusted you. Recently, I have seen changes in your style at TM.  I am concerned.  I see you have changed the name of your ministry to be much like ours. (note from Bob: Tennis Ambassadors Christian Ministry name was changed in 2001-02 to the present name upon the recommendation of an outside volunteer consultant who suggested it more accurately reflect the international scope of this ministry) I see where you have copied a few of our ideas, also. (note from Bob: never copied their ideas)  That is fine if you feel God has led you to do this.  If you are doing it because you view us as a threat to "your territory", I can see where you might possibly fall again.  That would be a shame.  This is where I am concerned.  I want the best for you.  How can I help?  I want to feel like you are making these changes because you feel God is leading you this way, not because you feel you might have let an opportunity pass you by.  There is a ton or work for both of us.   Opportunity is for those who create it. This leads me back to Jeff.  I like Jeff, Bob.  I like Jeff alot.  He and I disagree about Christianity in tennis and that is fine.  Jeff is not a Christian.  Personally, I would like him to become a Christian.
I would like you to like me Bob, but if you can't or won't then that is fine.  My main concern is for you to please forgive me for my emails of a year ago.  I was wrong to be angry with you.  That anger has led you indirectly to participate in tennis.info messageboards which has led you to my friend Jeff.  I have a feeling Jeff and I will be friends for a very long time even if we disagree with each other.  In addition to asking you to forgive me, I ask you to consider contacting me so we can work out our differences.  I understand how you do not believe ICTA has even been on any mission trip of any type.  I understand you think I am not capable of coaching top level tennis.  To this I say, "Who cares!"   How about just sending an email to a guy who loves tennis and is a Christian... forget if I do or do not coach top players or go on mission trips internationally!  How about just contacting me and letting me know you are able to forgive me for my former emails.  I would like that Bob. Scott

Great.  How about an invitation to visit with us when you come to the USA.   (note from Bob: never went there as I was still waiting for Paschals reply to some questions I asked him to verify his claims) I believe we can find a terrific host home for you at no cost to your ministry near our location in Florida.  We can get to know each other.  I will be more than happy to introduce you to what we do.  I will need to first have your willingness to not provide the information, people, contacts I share with you to others, then I will willingly spend time with you! Scott

bob,  it's getting wierd having you google things such as scott paschal child and rachel snelen abuse.  if you want to know if i adopted the girl from russia, just call.  do you really have so little to do?  you know joyce pretended to be someone she wasn't when she posted on your old message board.  why belittle your ministry with such misleading tactics.  i have written a response to everything you have posted.  i also have responses from what you had posted previously before you rewrote everything.  i have each page/each section saved to my computer.  your games will only make you look bad in the end.  i have decided to not further allow you to weaken ministry in tennis by responding to your attacks on me.  thus have taken all links about your odd behavior off our site. if it comes down to it, i will respond in a different way.  we can work together or we can fight.  only one way will glorify christ.  s

hi bob,  are you sure you want to contact the parents of my students?  are you sure you want to make false claims about me via mass email? (note from Bob: a disclaimer from me and the ministry)  are you sure you want to continue your misleading rant?  you are a liar.  you have been for years.  i am far from the only one who knows the real bob kraft. right now, bob, i haven't moved forward with my lawsuits against you.  i'm still in prayer.  i will say you will have a high degree of difficulty if i move forward, and that is not what i want.  each false statement you have made will cost you $1000's in legal defense.  i have several dozen against you, currently.  you have spent many years creating and supporting a false reality about me. i have decided to add the article i have written about your slanderous, misleading antics to my web site for the next few days.  it explains much of who you are... though i have left much out for now.  here is a link for you... click here.  i realize you are quite scared if i tell the world of your lifestyle and antics, thus you have created a false world of "facts" against me as you work hard to harm my credibility.  you are not God, bob.  you are not in control, He is.  if you choose to stop your baseless rants, i will have no problem forgiving and forgetting.  please move forward with your life and use it to glorify Him.  you have partnered with a jew, an atheist, and a potential child molester in your attacks towards me. (note from Bob: not sure who Paschal is refering too, but for sure I can claim a Jew, Jesus Christ) God is in control, bob... He always has been and always will be.  call anytime and i pray you will begin to glorify Christ with your life.  it is time for you to stop your false tirade against me.  you know my friends are the founders of top ministries and they know me and my heart.  you and i need to be on the same team... being used by God to lead others to salvation through Christ. brothers in Christ, Scott  Look  at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.  Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.  ~Jacob A. Riis

(note: Thirtheenth email from Paschal, 03/18/2007)
hi bob, i just noticed you were online googling ICTA, so i thought this would be an appropriate time to send this email. interested in following richard's advice?   he's right, we should be on the same team.  as god could very well be speaking to you and me through richard, i would have no problem speaking with you on the phone to answer any questions.   i will place my current distrust of you aside.  in addition, i will try to answer some of your questions in this email.  please note i would prefer a phone call so i can adequately explain the entire situation.  and i am in the busy part of a historic-first mission trip to the world's 6th largest tournament.  this email is meant to be only a brief explanation, so please do not take anything out of context to use against me.  i am simply trying to take a step forward towards healing this situation. you seem to have a fixation on julia and marek.  while with me, julia never spoke one good word about you.  (note from Bob: I have spoken with Julia at the Australian Open for a few seconds after she left Scott and she seemed fine to me.) she disliked you intensely.  as you traveled with her and her coach for years to gain access to players, this troubled me.  (note from Bob, I have spoken to Julia no more than 10 minutes in five years but I have spent a lot of time with her Mother and brother, as other Christains are with Julia; I have a broad base of support from th players) i have also spoken at length with people in sports ministry who have known you for nearly 20 years.  they have nothing positive to say as well.   (note from Bob: I know a lot of people in sports ministry from twenty years plus and a broad base of support)  that said, i was just a high school/ college kid when people were having the same trouble with you that i now have.  it seems like i am just the next person in line.  that said, i am not here to judge and i am ready to make things right!  we need to be on god's team together and i am willing to put aside our differences. let me offer some explanations...(deleted by Bob as Paschal talks about another person that may be very hurtful to them.) i dismissed (deleted by Bob), as well. it was my choice and my decision, not his.  during the 2006 tennis channel open i pulled my sponsorship of him.  i spent $1000s trying to give him a chance to prove himself on the pro tour, a chance no one else would offer, and decided after nearly 9 months the money would be better spent on the bibles i give away.  i discovered the hard way that (deleted by Bob) struggled with maturity issues, often only wanting to sleep and play on the internet.  he also quit in the middle of big matches.  when a player does these things a sponsor lets them go, which is what happened.  it was good for his development for me to drop his sponsorship.  he will now appreciate the next person who offers help. in addition, (deleted by Bob) was being manipulated by (deleted by Bob) to travel with her.  she had made big promises to make him a star... and as we can all see it didn't work.  she manipulated him as others had manipulated her.  all that said, (deleted by Bob) is still like my little brother and i wish him the best.  when/if he decides to grow up i'll be there to help once again if needed. david nasser knows me and believes in my ministry, and in me.  you know this.  does it truly mean nothing to you when someone of his caliber loves me and stands with me?  (note from Bob: No, not without Paschal being able to establish credibility by verifying his claims both past and present) he thus far refuses to even speak with you or answer your emails.  people know who he is, but no one knows who you are.  (note from Bob: having been in ministry for over 20 years as you yourself state about me, then I know a lot of people as you stated above) you have read his endorsement of icta. he is one of the most respected people of faith in america.  nasser has been to my house, we've repeatedly stayed at his house, he's attended our mission trips.  his wife is rach and mel's mentor.  does this truly mean nothing to you in your quest to discover people who truly know me?  (note from Bob: Others may be impressed, but to answer this question, No, not without Paschal being able to establish credibility by verifying his claims both past and present)ok, you've discovered him... tell the world... give the other side of the story now.  show at least some fairness in your witch hunt.  i have only written ricky's first name on my blog.  never his last name.  you write... " I found your email on the Internet after seeing your name listed on the ICTA website."  i have never mentioned ricky's last name or the country he is from.  his son either.  i  do this because i know you and phil will attack anyone you discover who supports me.  (note from Bob, Yes, Paschal has not been forth coming to any person who questions Paschal's.  I agree that is a good reason to not public what you can not verify.)  i know you save digital copies of all of my web pages, so please provide a copy of anywhere i have written his last name.  you cannot.  thus, your statement is false and meant to manipulate.  though false, i do not hold it against you.  (note from Bob: I simply did an Internet serach of Ricky, his wife's first name and Christian television, all of which you put on your ministry homepage, claiming a reality show on ICTA)  simply put, you emailed ricky in an attempt to harm my academy.  in addition the entire mass email you sent out to those on your email list was simply an attempt to get people to search for my ministry on google so they would read your views... and those who support me who contact you would then receive your personal thoughts.  (note from Bob, this was done as ICTA has mentioned my name and the ministry repeatly to others and is a disclaimer and the reasons why.)  this type of behavior adds to the the legal cases i have against you... which i would prefer to drop.   god is in control, bob.  you are not.  if i had to depend on a google search to build this ministry, i need to quit ministry altogether.  god is blessing my ministry.  god is bigger than bob.  do you truly feel you have more power than god?  this ministry grows in spite of me, not because of me.  god has his plans.  i coach 6 students fulltime and three students partime.  i am also rebuilding a male pro player whose life was much like (##1).  two summers ago, i had between 13 and 16 players fulltime.  depending on the time of year we train at local courts, at tournaments, on mission trips, at resorts, at camps nationwide... just depends on where we are.  so how about you and me learn to work together and share the gospel as brothers?  i would have no problem with speaking with you.

coming.
bob and (**4), i am not responding from fear.  i think by now you both know this.  i am responding from love.  love of god.  obedience to him.  i have serious concerns about you both, but for now i am willing to talk.  not because you have contacted ricky. that makes no difference to me.  (**4), (**1)'s claims against you have been permanently recorded.  they are very serious and could destroy your career.  she cannot deny them... would you prefer i let the world hear her voice word for word as she speaks of her spiritual abuse from you?  i have patiently waited and watched you.  it takes all i have not to have you removed from the wta tour as a coach.  and they would remove you when they hear the testimony she gave me about you.  if (**1) has lied to me in her claims, then i will hold her accountable financially in court.  either way, you lose.  i personally have done nothing but offer a hope to a girl who was going to commit suicide after being influence by you and bob.. ricky buy into bob's unfounded gossip slander.  very few people do.  his son loves training with me.  this alone shows you to be false.  much trust takes place before a parent sends their child internationally.  my hope is you both stop being slanderously competitive before i am forced to sue you for your ridiculous actions over the years.  please do not question my willingness to legally force you to stop or pay for your actions.  (**1) and (**10) have no grounds to say even one word negative about me.  without my intervention, (**1) would now be dead.  obviously, (**1)'s life meant little to you both after you used her for your own gratification. you both worked hard to force (**1) to see god your way, then left her for dead.  everyone had given up on (**10), except me.  i believe to this day he can be top 100 atp.  i poured into (**10) and he knows god worked through me to reach him.  (**10) read the bible for the first time while with me.  god began a good work in (**10) that others attempted to harm.  (**10) knows i love him and worked hard for him asking nothing in return.  bob, very powerful people in sports ministry who have known you for around 20 years assure me you have serious spiritual maturity issues.  what they have said to me about you lines up exactly with my experiences with you. in addition, my attorney is pressuring me to begin suing you.  he is a black man from the south and understands slander and predjudism. you have cost me $ and have proven to have a planned agenda.  you both should stop judging me and take the log out of your eye before speaking of my speck?   as you seem so free to interpret the bible your own way and only look to the scriptures that suit you... how about letting god be the judge and you take the log from your eyes?  bob in this email you lied... how did you get ricky's email address???  you so desperately want me to give you answers, yet you refuse to answer mine.  for years you have refused all my questions!  so, let's stop wasting time with silly emails.  do we settle our differences and begin working together fir his kingdom, or not?  if you choose not to, i will end up with no choice but to see you in court.  please do not feel i am afraid.  you do not scare me in anyway. (**4) i have no interest in speaking with you at the nasdaq. i have my mentors and advisors.  i am completely unimpressed with what i have learned about you and your views of god. long ago i gave you a chance to earn my trust... and from that my pastor, accountant, and mentor were attacked. the ball is in your court for now...  scott

Myself and a couple of friends helped ICTAcademy when they were in town and needed hitting partners. ICTAcademy is always on the road. They go from tournament to tournament and provide a Christian atmosphere. It is not a buuilding with courts. It is like a MASH unit for tennis and goes to minister to pros and juniors at tournaments while their players play. Scott paschell is not a bad guy. he is one of the only guys who coaches on the road all over the globe. Last year, he said he wanted to settle down in Florida and bring the players in to train. I don't see aproblem with that.I called a girl who trains with him when i saw the article here. He built her from scratch 3.5 years ago. She now has WTA points. From beginner to WTA points without any lucky loser main draw or wildcards.I playerd her last year and she took 4 games off me in a 1.5 hr match. When a guy builds players from beginners to WTA points or WTA ranked within 5 years...you gotta believe he has the right stuff.  Any coach can take a great player and claim him or her as his own. It takes a truly solid coach to forget his ego and build a WTA ranked pro.  I received a Christian daily Planner from a French player last year who trains with ICTA and scott. I still use it.  Mr (**6), i understand ICTA is your future competition in some ways. But they are good people. You as a great teacher should be able to realize the work required to build WTA ranked players from a beginner.  I will send ICTA an email. I am here to support hard working tennis pros and players.

What I find intersting is how you unknowingly quickly both established Scott at ICTA as a Christian tennis missionary from at least 4 years ago while simultaniously shooting yourself in the foot by posing as a Christian woman.And it seems pretty wierd how you steal photos of players to make it seem you can coach. What high powered, legitimate tennis coach does that?I posted before as the college tennis player from Texas. I called Scott P a few months ago. Remember!?Maybe the article should have been "Arsenni (**6)... Man or Woman." Or " Arsenni (**6)... Photo Thief or Famous Tennis Coach."I am glad to see you have established your legitimacy.

Title:     I'm convinced you don't want facts!
Message     I am a man who has lived much longer than you. I am a man who has seen your type of jealousy and envy in many industries for many years. I am a man who knows you are just a fly. A jealous pesky fly who is buzzing around trying to create crap.  As you sit on your jealous butt reading this, Scotty is working. His coaches, his desk staff, his restaurant staff, his pool staff, his maintenance staff, his academy students are all working. You are reading this and fuming with jealousy. You three people wanted to have proof of his Christian tennis academy? Right? You wanted proof of his abilities? Right? The proof is right here. He has one of the top positions in the tennis industry. He fought and won over intense international competition. This is Tom Gullikson's home tennis center and he teaches here. We know world class. You should see Scotty and Gully. They are both world class.  Yet, you still doubt.
