Brooklyn Bishop Lamor Whitehead, 44, Future International Ministries Leader, made headlines after being sued for $5 million over disagreements with God’s Glorious Global Board. The matter concerns the 5904 Foster Avenue property of Glory of God Global Ministries. A congregation of the Brooklyn pastor sued him a week ago, alleging that he was trying to kick them out of the church. He was accused of preventing certain church members from attending Sunday services.
He rose to fame after being robbed at his church in July 2022 and again in December, when he was jailed for extortion and fraud. Lamor Whitehead is facing multiple federal charges, including extortion, fraud and false accusations against one of his parishioners and a businessman.
The Global Division of God’s Glory has sued Brooklyn pastor Lamor Whitehead for disrupting their Sunday prayer service.
As previously said, Lamor Whitehead once again made headlines when it was sued by Glory of God Ministries for $5 million. The pastor is known for his lavish lifestyle and is often seen driving a Rolls-Royce, wearing luxury jewelry and clothing. Whitehead was served with a $5 million lawsuit in Canarsie last week. According to the lawsuit, Lamor Whitehead purchased the property at auction and then illegally changed the building’s locks just weeks before Christmas. As a result, many church members are unable to attend their Sunday services. According to the New York Post, in an isolated real estate trial, a judge sided with the group and allowed them to return to the property.
On the other hand, Glory of God Global Ministry has now sued Lamore Whitehead for $5 million, alleging that he breached contract by trying to kick members out of the establishment. The church also said it wants the Brooklyn pastor to give up ownership of the land and “not forever own” the structure.
Whitehead paid $1.94 million for the building in a foreclosure auction in February 2022. However, the church’s senior pastor objected to the tax debt that led to the foreclosure and insisted determined that the building was never given to the bishop of Brooklyn. Whitehead was also charged with unlawfully occupying the building without a formal court order, according to the lawsuit.
Prosecutors said Whitehead also defrauded members of his own church.
The pastor filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and argued that any judgment regarding housing court matters should be deferred. Prosecutors accused Lamor Whitehead of defrauding members of his own congregation, the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministry.
Brian Ponder, his attorney, called the latest case “frivolous” and said:
“[They will] dismissed the case and sought sanctions against the plaintiff and his attorney.”
Glory of God Global Ministries has filed a lawsuit claiming substantial damages for fraud, conspiracy and tortuous interference in the contract between the two parties.
