This group was formerly known as YMBBA. They have changed their name and their website, which is now thechurchofwells.com

My friend from youth group is stuck in a cult, the One on Wells, Texas.

I've heard from several families who lost relatives to this cult and it's super sad. So, I decided to pray. Please join me if you'd like. It's just a facebook page but I wanted to create a space for the families to unite, encourage one another and believe God together for the safety of their loved ones.

A couple years ago I wrote a few messages giving my support to the Church of Wells. This was before I had actually met any of the members.
Since I gave such a favorable account, I felt it was encumbent on me now to say, with sincere grief, that I withdraw any support and approval for this group.
Let me just state that things are very different in real life than what is presented over the internet. Scripture says that those who worship the Lord must worship Him in spirit and in truth, and that Satan is the father of lies.
I urge any one who intends to have contact with any one in this group to use extreme caution, and remember that Christ will never contradict the written word of God. Keep in mind the following scriptures: Matt. 24:4,5 & 23,24; Mk.13:5,6 & 21-23; Lk. 21:8; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; and 1 Jo.4:1.
