Setting the record straight....

http://www.abundantlifeacademy.com

My name is Craig Rogers, and I am the CEO/President of Abundant Life Academy. Abundant Life Academy is a registered business in the State of Utah. Abundant Life Academy is an academic institution for American and Canadian students. Abundant Life Academy has a major focus on missions and mercy ministries. A part of Abundant Life Academy school program involves students going to Mexico to participate in Mercy Ministries for an extended period of time.

Josue Aparicio and Patricia Bettencort are the legal representatives of ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA?. However, let it be known that ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? is not affliated with Abundant Life Academy of Utah in any way, shape, or form.

Josue Aparicio's ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? does not exist in reality. Mr. Aparicio's business does not have any students or staff. His business has never employed professional staff, never had a student, nor any formal agreement or contract with Abundant Life Academy of Utah. ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? was established for the purpose of defrauding myself and Abundant Life Academy of Utah. Sometimes when American's go to Mexico we are easy targets for thieve's and scam artists.

?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? is basically a phony corporation set up to defraud Abundant Life Academy. In April through June 2003 ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? attempted to negoitate a formal business agreement with Abundant Life Academy of Utah. At that time it was the hope of Abundant Life Academy of Utah to contract with Josue Aparicio's and Patricia Bettencort's company (?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA?) to provide room, board, and food services for the students of Abundant Life Academy of Utah while they were in Mexico doing the missions projects. In mid June it became apparent that Patricia Bettencort was not an honest person and she devised a scheme to defraud Abundant Life Academy of Utah. Thank God it was discovered before she could accomplish her plan.  At that time Abundant Life Academy ended all contact with Patricia Bettencort.

Abundant Life Academy continued to work with Mr. Josue Aparicio in good faith until September 2003, when we found out that Josue was a part of Patricia Bettencort's origianl scheme. Since Josue Aparicio was thought to be a loyal friend of myself and a supporter to the vision of Abundant Life Academy, it was very disappointing to find out that he was in partnership with the Ms. Bettencort's plot.

In September of 2003 Abundant Life Academy of Utah terminated any and all relationships with Josue Aparicio and ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA?.

May it be known that Abundant Life Academy of Utah paid ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? $52,000.00 US Dollars over from May through September 2003. The payments were made in good faith with the expectation that ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? would deliever on their promises to provide room and board, along with food services to the students of Abundant Life Academy. ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? failed miserably to perform their verbal agreement to deliver stated promises. It was also discovered that Josue Aparicio was embezzling funds from Abundant Life Academy of Utah, which was the reason ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? failed to deliever and perform their verbal agreement to provide room, board, and food services. Basically, we believe that he was taking the money meant for the students of Abundant Life Academy and giving it to Patricia Bettencort.

When Abundant Life Academy of Utah ended its relationship with ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? in September of 2003 Patricia Bettencort and Josue Aparicio threatened me personally. Patricia and Josue told me, in the presence of the ?ACADEMIA VIDA ABUNDANTE DEL LAGO CHAPALA? attorney, that unless I immdiately give them $100,000 they would shut down Abundant Life Academy and have me deported. Patricia and Josue brought the local police to the meeting with the intention of intimidating me.

At that meeting it was clear that it was the intention of Patricia Bettencort and Josue Aparicio to blackmail me into paying their attempted bribe. Thank God the attorney is an honest man and refused to allow Patricia and Josue to defraud me. The local police left the meeting disapointed with Patricia and Josue for trying to use them against me unlawfully. The attorney, who was a former Judge and a highly respected law school professor, has since helped me to file a law suit against Josue and Patricia to hold them accountable for theft, defamation, slander, and fraud.

In the meantime Josue and Patricia have told me and others that they will continue to harass me and defame Abundant Life Academy until I pay their bribe. They have contacted parents of Abundant Life Academy as well as prospective parents and slandered our good name. Josue Aparicio has made it clear that he will continue to try to hurt Abundant Life Academy with lies and slander until we pay his ransom. They have harassed me, lied about me, and continue to attempt to use manipulation of public officials to threaten me.

The whole ordeal is now in the courts where it belongs. All things will be sorted out with a judge. Josue and Patricia will be held accountable for what they have done. In the Mexican court system Josue and Patricia cant lie, and they have to bring forth proof of their claims. Additionally, we will have a chance to bring forth proof that Josue stole and misappropriated funds, equipment and other property. Josue and Patricia wont show up in court because they know the real truth about their little scheme will be revealed.

Last but not least. Josue Aparicio was fired from his previous employment for running the same scheme that he ran against me and Abundant Life Academy. It has been reported by the Financial Officer of Josue's former employer that he embezzled anywhere from $12,000 to $40,000 over a period of 3 years. I can give you the name and number of Josue's former employer who will confirm and verify the facts regarding this incident. The real sad thing is that Josue is a good man, only he has been led astray.

If anyone would like to confirm the facts reported in this reply please contact me at 435-644-8297. I will give you the names and phone numbers of numerous government officials that will back my claims and statements in this reply. Additionally, the attorney who was present when Patricia and Josue attempted to extort $100,000 can verify the facts and statements recorded in this relpy.

We believe that God is our deliverer and He will protect us from the schemes of our enemies. Also, we ask you to pray for Josue and his family, asking God to set him free from the trap of greed.

God bless,

Craig Rogers

What is evil?
Posting a link?
ALA school in general? All such schools?
Something in particular?
Take your time, think it threw and then state your well thought out opinion.
Otherwise, your statement means nothing and is a waste of your time and forum space.
Otherwise, it just seems like a stab in the dark, at a target you are hostile to for no good reason you can explain; making you seem stupid and mean.

Shut up, Anon.  Tageting kids as "spoiled brats" is devious.  Shame on you for defending a program that resorts to using such inflammatory words to incite parents into turning their kids over to them.  God does NOT approve.

Where was I defending anyone or thing?
You are making an assumption and reacting to it as if it is fact.
But at least now we know what you find so evil.
Heaven forbid, a kid be called a spoiled brat; according to you.
I suppose since you have the inside scoop on what God thinks; you can get us an answer as to God's opinion on how and when to help a teen when they  clearly need it.
Please advise.
