It appears<\/a> that Haggard wasn’t exactly truthful in his fundraising letter:<\/p>\n

Ted Haggard’s recent request for money to keep his family afloat while he attends school was “inappropriate” and “unacceptable,” according to a statement Wednesday by the group that oversees the former president of the National Association of Evangelicals.
\nHaggard had e-mailed a Colorado Springs television station a letter requesting financial help while he studies for his master’s degree. He also said he was planning to move to the Phoenix Dream Center, a half-way house for the homeless, those coming out of prison recovering alcoholics, drug addicts and prostitutes. “I can identify,” he said in the letter.
\nThe letter implied that he would be doing ministry there, but the overseer’s statement said Haggard will not be moving in or working with the Dream Center.
\n[…]
\nIn the recent letter soliciting money, Haggard said that if supporters want a tax deduction for their gift, they could mail it to Families with a Mission.
\nBut the organization’s head, Paul Huberty, told The Gazette in Colorado Springs that the organization was not aware of Haggard’s appeal for money and is not soliciting donation for the family.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one<\/a> who thinks that it’s time for Haggard to support his family on his own. and not look to share the burden with others. Many people have put themselves through school while working full-time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
