A History of Lies, Cheating and Stealing by “Pastor” Ken Adkins of Issachar Media Group, the Adkins Agency, Newsblendr and U.S. Campaign Strategies

This was posted on August 9, 2016 before the child abuse / molestation allegations occurred.

“Pastor” Ken Adkins runs the Adkins Agency, Greater Dimensions Christian Fellowship, Issachar Media Group, Newsblendr and U.S. Campaign Strategies and is due to be exposed. Why? Because he is / they are lead by a dishonest man? Because he / they are lead by hate? Because he is / they are lead by a convicted fraud? Maybe.

Because of an extensive history of lies when he continues to use dishonesty to publicize himself and gain clients? Yes. This page is to educate victims and potential victims of his of his public past.

August 26, 2016 update:

Ken Adkins has been charged with two counts of child molestation and aggravated child molestation, said Stacy Carson, special agent in charge of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Kingsland office. The alleged victim was under the age of 16 and the incidents are alleged to have occurred at Adkins’ church, Greater Church at 6122 Altama Ave., Suite One, in Brunswick, in a vehicle, and various other places.

The false claims of “clients”:

Whether because he volunteered to do something, did something without asking or never did anything at all, Ken Adkins operating as Issachar has a history of claiming clients who, in fact, were not clients.

Ken Adkins Client List of Lies

Jordan Davis Foundation/Day refutes they hired him.

Jerry Holland disputed working with him.

Operation New Hope disputes any affiliation.

You’ll notice a name or two on this list were involved in lawsuits or claims against him.

He gains press for attacking and disparaging others, despite frequently playing the “victim card” when someone fights back:

Adkins saying Pulse Shooting was a sign that gays got “what they deserved”:

Adkins Attacks LGBTQ:

Adkins attacks Jacksonville City Councilman Tommy Hazouri:

Adkins attacks other local pastors:

Adkins attacks Duval Public Schools Superintendent Nikolai Vitti:

Adkins attacks Jacksonville Judge Hulsey:

Documentary:

Adkins repeatedly claiming to “star” in a documentary based on his LGBT efforts, even indicating with some ambiguity he’s getting paid $100,000.
