David Henke founded Watchman Fellowship in Columbus, Georgia in 1979. Today, Watchman Fellowship has several offices in the United States, and we also support an international office in Romania providing apologetics resources to the Romanian people in their own language. Watchman Fellowship serves the Christian and secular community as a resource for education, counseling, and non-coercive intervention and evangelism training. We accomplish these tasks through our church presentations, our magazines ( The Watchman Expositor and The Vantage Point ), personal counseling, this website, and other activities. We have served almost every denomination including Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal, Assemblies of God, Church of God, Lutheran, Nazarene, etc., as well as schools, law enforcement agencies, and civic groups. Concerning a person's right to choose, we believe that a real choice is one based on access to all the information, and understanding both or all sides. The cults typically try to block their members and the public from having access to this information. We have found that most cults will use deception, control, cover up, and dishonesty with their own members and the people they are trying to convert. This deception includes some or all of the following: the group's history, false prophesy, false scholarship, a distortion of true church history and doctrine, and destructive practices of the group. Our name, Watchman Fellowship, is often confused with the Watchtower Society title used by the Jehovah's Witnesses. However, we are in no way affiliated with them. Our name is taken from the Old Testament book of the Bible, Ezekiel. "Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel ; so you will hear a message from My mouth, and give them warning from Me." Ezekiel 33: 7 As Christians, we do believe that "we are our brother's keeper." Like the watchman on the wall ( Ezekiel 3: 17 ), we have the responsibility to sound a warning against the deception and destructive spiritual abuse practiced by cultic groups. In sounding such warning Watchman Fellowship also has a principled commitment to accuracy. The educational and evangelistic goals of Watchman Fellowship are supported in part by voluntary donations. Donations are tax-deductible in the United States. When donations are given in exchange for materials ( books, tapes, etc. ), only the portion of the gift above the fair market value of the product is considered deductible - these values are listed on most items. A receipt for the total donations each year is available upon request. If you would like to make a financial gift in support of this vital ministry, please visit our donations page.
