An Appeal From Richard Hudson

My dear brother, Allan,

I have been uncommonly silent since Sept. 27th. Much I have suffered! I have wept bitterly many times, even contemplated putting an end to my life for the pain I have suffered has been far too great for me. Were it not for the intervention of our beloved Savior, I would have checked out of this life, for I have longed to escape this pain and to be present with Him in the comfort of His presence.

But He is not ready for me to come Home to Him. He wishes me to suffer more for His sake in the hope that through me fellow Christians held captive by the religious cult from which I've escaped shall also have their eyes opened so they may escape, also, into the freedom only Christ gives to those who truly believe in Him. And I have believed in Him and have followed Him and, as a result, have experienced the assault of those who hate what He represents.

Allan, I am a weak and despicable man. Why Christ has chosen to work through me in this endeavor, I question, because I truly am nothing and have nothing worthy to brag about or to offer. I am a coward. I am impulsive. Often I faint and know not where to turn except to Him for deliverance. I am no man's man. Yet, I know where lies my deliverance and comfort and it is in Christ that I look for strength when what little strength I have flees before the onslaught of stronger men supported by Satanic forces.

My hope is in Christ! Though it appears that I am as Job, in the sense that I have lost all, yet I believe God will deliver me from those who seek my harm and who have robbed me of my children and my wife. Even as people look upon me in pity and in ridicule for all my hurt and the pain of my losses, yet I would rather be spit upon and a disgrace to men than to forsake my love for the Savior of my soul and the God of my salvation.

My enemies seem to prevail. Seem to have their way with me. I have suffered time and again at their hand, yet I know that God has promised that the victory belongs to those who believe and trust in Him. The victory is the Lord's. I believe that and I will continue in the fight against all odds, for I know in my heart that I have done no evil. That I have served the Lord by showing consideration and mercy to the helpless and have resisted those who would oppress and abuse the helpless. And I believe God's promise that He will show mercy and give help to those who consider the helpless in their day of trouble.

These are the days of trouble for me. I am assaulted from all sides by those who love power and money and who use the Word of God deceitfully for their personal gain and glory. I have considered the helpless and have shown mercy and have given help. Now I pray for help for today I am in trouble and am altogether helpless.

I pray that God's people will reach out to me, will help me in this battle against forces too great for me to battle alone. I cannot stop fighting for my Savior and I will fight to the death, for He is worthy as He gave His life that I might live, so what life I have is only right for me to give back in service to Him.

My hope is that my sons and my daughter will see this love I have for my Christ, their Christ, and that they will join me in this battle against men and forces that compete for their souls. My soul belongs to Christ and His Father. I can give it to no other. I pray that my sons and daughter will see this, will, as I have, give their lives totally to Him and join in the fight to save souls from the grasp of Satan and his vessels whom he uses to take control of simple and unsuspecting souls and trap them in a hell and a prison that robs them of their joy and their lives and their freedom which God once gave them through the work of His Son on the Cross.

I am filled with grief and with joy. Grief for the pain and the suffering of many who have been taken captive and whose joy has been replaced with fear and with hatred for those who would walk in the freedom of Christ. I grieve for the families who have been destroyed and the husbands and wives who have been separated by men demanding obedience at all cost to their selfish desires. And yet I joy, because even in all the grief and suffering I have experienced, I feel the victory and the comfort and the joy and the love of the Almighty! Though I grieve, yet I am not defeated. Though I suffer the loss of wife and children and Christian friends, yet Christ sees my suffering and provides miraculous comfort, for He understands all my fears and my weaknesses and provides me with strength when all strength within me fails.

My friend and brother in Christ, please put out the word for fellow soldiers in Christ to pray for me in this greatest hour of temptation and distress that I will stand true to Christ, despite whatever ill I may suffer. Please put out the word that a brother, a fellow soldier in Christ is being assaulted by Satanic forces in the guise of men who would seek to capture his soul for their own devious pleasure and profit.

They have taken possession of my dear beloved wife and my children and grandchildren. My heart is torn asunder with grief and despair even while I am comforted with the hope of so great a salvation as God gives to those who call out to Him for deliverance. My sweet wife, the woman to whom I have given my heart once and forever and the children of our love have been taken captive and I am powerless, helpless to spring them free of the evil men who have taken them captive and have taken possession of their minds. I pray that God protect them and bring them home again into the safety of His arms so that we can once and for all rejoice together as a family, as a husband and wife, a father and mother rejoicing in the surrounding joys of our beloved children and grandchildren. I pray, Father, that what men have torn asunder, that You in your power and glory will bring back together for Your honor and glory and for the joy for one, such as I, who finds pleasure and comfort in your Name.

O Lord, and dear fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, pray fervently for me that I stand fast in this greatest hour of darkness, a soldier true to His Captain even in the face of odds too great for one as lowly as me to overcome.

Pray that I remember whose I am...pray that I make the right decisions...pray that my stand for Jesus Christ will rally the feeble and weakened hearts of those held captive by powerful and evil men so that they, too, will as I am doing, stand up...stand up for Jesus, stand up for His Father, for mercy and for truth.

This is my plea, this is my prayer. Let the saints know that their brother and fellow soldier is in desperate need of their fervent prayers, for I believe as the Word says that the fervent prayers of the saints of God avails much. Please shout it abroad that this poor soldier is surrounded by devils and demons and is in desperate need of reinforcements from only those who are able to enter the fray of battle - the saints of the Almighty, the messengers, the angles, the stars of heaven!

I believe in the wonderful works and deliverance of our Heavenly Father! I believe in the saints of God! I believe and have faith that deliverance is near and that the enemies who have arrayed their armies about me will soon be routed and scattered as the autumn winds chase the fallen leaves.

My beloved friend in Christ, lift up your arms to heaven and petition our God, our beloved savior, that this little and pitiful man "...Fear not and stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will show to you to day: for the Egyptians (these oppressors) whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace."

Lord help me believe. Help me to stand still. Help me to hold my peace. And grant me, O Lord, the opportunity to see your salvation and your deliverance from these modern day Egyptians so that we will see them no more because you have fought them and have taken them down and delivered them into the bosom of defeat so that they will no more harm the saints of God.

This, O Lord, is my petition and my prayer. Hear this man, O Lord, for I beg of you in the name of Christ to remember me this day, this day of my many troubles, to deliver me of my oppressors and to restore unto me the wife of my youth and our children and our grandchildren. In His most holy name I pray... Amen...

My dear friend, Allan. Please post this appeal prominently for all to see and tell the saints of God about these cultic leaders who would destroy those of us who would walk in the freedom and the love of Christ, our only true leader, authorized by God to Head the Church in which we, who have accepted His salvation, have been given the privilege to enter and dwell in forever.

Your brother and fellow soldier in the glorious army of our beloved Christ,
