[Stephen and Milie] Biellier...came to the convention praying that this would be "the overcoming year." They are $102,000 in debt, and the bank has cut off their credit line. [...] They say the Copelands rescued them from financial failure 23 years ago, when they bought their first truck at 22 percent interest and had to rebuild the engine twice in a year. [...] "We would have failed if Copeland hadn't been praying for us every day," Mrs. Biellier said.
I'm a huge believer in the power of belief to inspire people to see a way through the most discouraging circumstances, but reading about some of the things the Copelands are asking their followers to fund just made me mad. And sad that they are so shamelessly fleecing their flock.
