St. Matthew's Churches I was on the internet and something just popped into my head and all of a sudden I was looking to see if this church really existed. I believe it was divine intervention because I kept on looking for an answer to my question. I found my answer and I could not believe what I was reading. I read that these churches do not have a location from where I have been receiving their mailings from. They started sending me letters back in September. I honestly thought they were legit, but they are fake. I sent them money orders, once I began working, I sent them checks. They have my information. Now what am I going to do about that. What a disgrace to the real churches that do exist are trying to help people by honestly and truthfully bring people closer to God. Tulsa Oklahoma
This is to inform anyone that has been corresponding with the St. Matthew's Churches such as I was doing, until today, that is when I started to search the web. I did so because a thought popped into my head that made me start questioning if they were for real and lo and behold my g...
