Class Action Lawsuit Filed to Hold Gospel for Asia Accountable for Fraudulent Solicitation and Misuse of Charitable Donations
Contact: Marc R. Stanley, 469-831-7575

DALLAS, Feb. 11, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Dallas-based Stanley Law Group initiated a class action lawsuit today in United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas against Gospel for Asia, Inc. and several affiliates for fraudulently soliciting hundreds of millions of dollars in charitable donations, and then misdirecting the money into the personal empire of Gospel for Asia's leader, K.P. Yohannan. The lawsuit alleges that Gospel for Asia, Yohannan, and other GFA officials misrepresented to donors how, when, and where charitable donations would be spent, and funneled vast amounts of the hundreds of millions of dollars GFA has collected into for-profit businesses and an expensive headquarters. Plaintiffs Matthew and Jennifer Dickson charge defendants with violations of RICO and the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, as well as fraud and unjust enrichment.

Gospel for Asia is a global missionary organization that operates in South Asia, primarily within India. GFA tells potential donors that it supplies the "poorest of the poor" with food, provisions, and a Christian message.

Lead attorney Marc R. Stanley said, "K.P. Yohannan and his Gospel for Asia inner circle have been exploiting the goodwill and generosity of devout Christians around the country for years. Gospel for Asia should return all the money it's taken from donors who thought they were contributing to charity."

Copies of the complaint and accompanying exhibits are available upon request.
