Missionary Britt Hancock of the ministry Mountain Gateway followed God’s call to help lead mass evangelism campaigns in Nicaragua, where he says close to a million people attended.
Now, he faces criminal charges from the Nicaraguan government, along with his son Jacob and daughter-in-law Cassandra, over allegations of money laundering and organized crime.
The attorney general of Nicaragua also announced that 11 Mountain Gateway Nicaraguan pastors face the same charges.
“Mountain Gateway would like to publicly state it denies these allegations, and it is saddened by this situation,” a news release from the organization stated. “Mountain Gateway has diligently followed all legal requirements in the U.S. and Nicaragua that apply to non-profit and faith-based organizations.”
“These charges are based on erroneous information, and Mountain Gateway will do everything in its power to resolve this through diplomatic channels,” the release continued.
Hancock told CBN News the allegations come after God did amazing things in 2023 through the ministry’s outreaches in the Central American country.
“This last year, I’ve watched Him heal people, set them free and transform their lives,” Hancock wrote to CBN News. “I’m sad and very concerned that our pastors, my friends, are in prison right now.”
