Pastor and His Wife Accused of Stealing $430,000 to Pay for Gambling Trips
A pastor and his wife are in deep trouble with the law after it was recently determined that they might have been stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from their church over a three year period. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but in this case, the wife of the pastor has been arrested in the past for check fraud.
It’s hard to determine at this point if the couple is guilty or innocent, but anything is possible. It also tells you to remember to be careful about who you trust. Everyone who is in the church may not be of the spirit of God. When you give your money to a church, you may want to demand that there be accountability for how your funds are being used.
A pastor and his wife are being accused of stealing nearly half a million bucks from their former church. What’s worse is that they are also being accused of gambling the money away. Charles Gifford was once the pastor at the Bethel Institutional Missionary Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. Prosecutors allege that he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the church to fund gambling trips to the Coushatta Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Adriane Gilford, Pastor Gilford’s wife, has also been charged in the incident. Police are claiming that between 2004 and 2007, the two took money from the church without anyone being aware of their activities.

You just can’t trust nobody sometimes even your pastor…it’s a shame!!!!!!
The death of the African American in America not trusted and irresponsible.
This is just the beginning,and that is the most unfortunate situation specially in African American communities. We have finally cause problems that the rest of the American community will not deal with. The African American community is on their own. The crime rate in all major cities is exclusively caused by African Americans. Statistics indicate that the average African American male and female under the age of 40 is either unemployed on welfare or in jail. We are killing each other stealing from each other wholesale. The white and Hispanic community is no longer willing to trust and higher African Americans for any type of opportunity’s that or anything else that may be available. We as a people are no longer trusted and unable to blame anyone but ourselves for our own stupidity and ignorance.
African Americans did not take advantage of the opportunities that were available, these opportunities are being taken by immigrants willing to work to make a better life for themselves.
A message to the African American community when we had the opportunity we did not take advantage of it, so now we will have to hope that the new immigrants are willing to deal with the few African Americans that are willing to take advantage of the opportunities that may be available.
I said it before, and I say it again, you didn’t want to work for the white man , and now you have to hope that the new immigrant business community is willing to let you work for them.
