Three Assemblies of God of ministers are calling Denominational leaders to resign in light of a sexual abuse scandal with the Chi Alpha Campus Ministries.
The whistleblowers are calling out the AOG denominational leaders for not taking sufficient action against intranet minister Daniel Savala, a 67-year-old itinerant minister and convicted sex offender, for raping or sexually assaulting at least thirteen men in connection to Chi Alpha for over 20 years.
Earlier this month, Savala was indicted for sexual abuse of two minors and his protege, an ordained AG minister, Chris Hundl.
In other cases, Will Robinson, former Chi Alpha chapter leader at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, was arrested last July on child sex abuse charges, while Chi Alpha North Texas District Director Eli Stewart was suspended from his position in May for alleged sexual misconduct.
“Missionaries have been arrested. A handful of others have been removed from the pulpit. All the while, the leaders of the districts and national office have remained silent,” Pastor J.R. Armstrong of Mauriceville All Gospel Church in Orange, Texas, told his congregation last month.
