Back to EpisodesGarner's Group Faces New Abuse Lawsuit
Description
Gregg Garner, founder of Global Outreach Developments International, faces new allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking from three women. Despite a 2021 indictment on TennCare fraud charges, which were later dropped, the nonprofit continues to operate, focusing on solar pumps in Africa and youth programs in the Philippines. However, the organization has been accused of being a cult by former parishioners, while Garner and his group dismiss it as a hate site. Financial filings show Garner earned $369,566 in the 2023-2024 fiscal year, with related businesses receiving significant funds from the ministry. GRACE, a firm known for probing abuse in religious groups, has been hired to investigate the claims, but Metro Nashville police say theres no active criminal probe.
