Everything is going down, but The Word Of God…You have got to read these e-mails that was sent to me about these churches in Washington, D.C. Seems that all hell has broken loose and since I could not get anyone to talk to me on the phone or when I was there recently I thought you should read it for yourself.

Dear Family & Friends of Jabbok International Ministries,
This is our formal letter of resignation from Jabbok. There will not be another explanation to follow hereafter to anybody!
Having experienced much turmoil these past few months, this decision is not one of regret, but one of great urgency and necessity.
On Thursday, February 7, 2008, many of you received an electronic notice from Corey Dukes, a former member of Jabbok, strongly voicing his concerns about our Pastor, Bishop Donald A. Wright, Jabbok's Board of Elders, and past and present members of Jabbok. Within this notice were strong portrayals about my involvement in grave matters of indecency, immorality, ungodliness, and hypocrisy with our Pastor. The portrayals made by Corey Dukes were indeed true, to include Minister Sylvia Koonce's involvement in the matters as well. Because we have been a voice of no sound since the onset of these notices, many of you have questioned the legitimacy of these allegations. We hope to now answer your questions about my involvement and to address every fraudulent word that has been spoken about us both publicly and privately
On Friday, August 24, 2007, after Jabbok's Corporate Prayer Service, I confessed to Elder Carolyn Streeter and Elder Terrence Jones about my involvement with Pastor in a sexual affair. I told them that others had approached me regarding their involvement with him as well. Elder Carolyn said that the Elders were aware of Pastor's "drug-problem" and his numerous affairs with women. She also told me that she had contacted Bishop Andrew C. Turner II in Southern California and asked him to counsel Pastor. She stated that "a Bishop should be helped by another Bishop". Immediately after, Pastor called me, followed by Elder Jackie Barclift. They both questioned me regarding my conversation with Elder Carolyn and Elder Terrence. Pastor asked me if I was still his friend or had I now become his enemy? Stressfully he asked me to consider his career and the ramifications if people ever found out the truth about our relationship. When I asked him regarding his involvement with other women in Jabbok he denied it. I told him that he was lying because I knew that his conversations with others were exactly the same as with me; he had a "pattern". Then he agreed to contact Dr. Elaine Waller, a Clinical Psychologist and Pastor of Abundant Life Ministries in Virginia Beach , Virginia , for help. Upon his agreement to contact her, I withdrew my previous confession to Elder Carolyn and Elder Terrence at the Board of Elders meeting the next day (Circus Act I).
On Tuesday, January 29, 2008, I met with the Elders again, namely Elder Everrett Hall, Elder Clara (Ma) Elliott, Elder Carolyn Streeter and Elder Terrence Jones. This time my husband accompanied me. I first apologized for having previously receded on my confession. I then re-confessed to them about my involvement with Pastor in a sexual affair that began seven years ago. They asked to know when the affair ended and I told them in December 2007 during Jabbok's consecration/fast. I also disclosed other improper verbal and physical involvements that I had with Pastor and that he had with others that Corey's email(s) did not mention:
1. One-on-one Counseling Sessions with Pastor.
Bishop Wright (as my spiritual father and Pastor) and I first began these sessions by my communicating about past and tragic events that had previously occurred in my life. Fully trusting Pastor for counsel and spiritual guidance to overcome these obstacles, our relationship changed with his recommending that I do certain things for self esteem purposes and to assist in preparing me for marriage. For example, I was questioned regarding my vaginal area, such as, what is the thickness of my pubic hairs; how much pubic hair do I have; and how far up and across my stomach and down my legs does my pubic hair travel? I was also asked to take pornographic pictures of my breasts and vaginal area to aid in my feeling more comfortable with my body. These pictures were for him only to view, after which he was to have discarded in his fireplace.
Things progressed and the recommendations became more and more demanding. For instance, Pastor wanted photos for his own personal library because his wife, Sabrina Wright (then First Lady), no longer dressed and undressed in front him allowing him to see her body parts. He also asked and at times summoned me to his office at Jabbok under false pretenses. Upon my arriving I discovered that he only wanted me to show him my vaginal area.
Because intimate secrets had been shared in these sessions, Pastor then started referring to me as his friend. He also gave me permission to address him by his first name (Donald) and was insistent about it, but only when we communicated privately; publicly I was to still refer to him as Pastor. Also, upon the conclusion of all of our private conversations, he always remarked "I love you" (just as my husband would say) when we were first married.
These sessions ceased after I married. They resumed again upon Pastor's insistent request two years later. My husband never knew what went on in any of the sessions because Pastor instructed me not to tell him. I was also asked to perform the same activities as previously mentioned, all the while he counseled my husband and I for severe marital problems. It was also understood that if I ever got pregnant that I had to get an abortion.
2. My participation with Pastor and Minister Sylvia Koonce in one photo-shoot after Bible Study – "A Spiritual Moment".
Minister Sylvia and I were led to believe that this was for an on-going research project that Pastor had been conducting for years. He wanted to show us that we were the only true worshippers in Jabbok due to the massive amount of pubic hair that he said we had, and to also help to boost both of our self esteems.
He remarked how he wanted to start having Minister Sylvia and I to accompany him together and separately on his road trips to service him sexually. In preparation for this new assignment, he asked us both to pick out a hotel for us to go and spend an entire day at. He said that he wanted to have sex with Minister Sylvia in the morning and the afternoon while I went shopping, then later on in the evening and into the night he wanted to have sex with me while Minister Sylvia found something else to do.
He remarked to Minister Sylvia and I that he wanted to have another "moment", but this time he wanted to have a three-some (manajetua). We both agreed at first, but a few hours after this conversation I was convicted. I then contacted Minister Sylvia and told her that I was not going to go through with it. She told him that I had changed my mind. He called us both and told me that he was very disappointed in me and remarked "that my flesh was talking".
3. A conversation
3. A conversation with Pastor while watching a movie in his den.
I asked Pastor why he was so insistent about sitting on the right side of his brown-ribbed couch. He remarked to me that he did not want me to feel uncomfortable knowing that I was sitting on a firearm. Upon asking him to explain what he meant by this statement, he pulled out a gun from underneath the right cushion. He said that it was for his protection. He then showed me how to unlock, lock, and load it.
4. Others confide in me about acts of misconduct towards them.
I also disclosed the names of numerous other women (some are members of Sister-2-Sister (S2S)), that told me that they were also improperly approached and handled by Pastor, or Minister Sylvia, and/or both of them. These ladies were also asked to participate in indecent and immoral acts. My voicing my disapproval to Pastor about these indecent advances towards those in S2S was met with my removal from S2S altogether. But I was told first privately by him, and then publicly by him that I was being promoted to co-preside over Christian Counseling with Minister Liz Sessoms.
Upon the close of this meeting with the Elders, my husband and I were very warmly and lovingly embraced by Elder Everrett, Elder (Ma) Elliott and Elder Carolyn. Elder Terrence chose to keep his distance! The three Elders offered to assist us in individual and marital counseling, gave us Scriptures to promote our healing and wholeness, and gave us their adamant committal towards a swift and immediate resolution; for this we are thankful! Attempting to keep their promise to us, a meeting (Circus Act II) was held several days later to include them, Pastor, Elder Catherine (MaCat) Stancil, Elder Jackie Barclift and Elder Joan Carr. The following is what we were told happened in that meeting:
