When It Rains It Pours...JWW Ministries Loses It's Tax Exempt Status

Bishop Walker’s nonprofit organization, J W. Walker Ministries Inc., lost its federal tax exemption last month for failing to file tax returns for three years.  The charity’s records also show Walker donating funds from the sale of tapes of his sermons to the charity, which then paid a private production company he owns without disclosing his involvement.

The church denies any wrongdoing on Walker’s part. Church spokesman John Van Mol said that not filing tax returns was a mistake the charity is trying to rectify, and he issued a statement saying the sexual exploitation lawsuit is an attempt to make money.  

“It is truly sad that a church and its leaders can be attacked with such shocking and ugly charges when the apparent motive is to extract huge sums of money from the congregation and its leaders,” the statement read.
