The Latest on Ted Haggard

By Paul Steven Ghiringhelli

The pastor of Ted Haggard's former church says he's been heartbroken over a former male volunteer's alleged experiences with Haggard.

Brady Boyd, senior pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., said a young man announced his alleged inappropriate relationship with Haggard shortly after Haggard's sex and drug scandal in 2006.

Boyd said the 25-year-old man, whom the Associated Press (AP) identified Tuesday by name, received "countless hours of prayer and ministry" before deciding to hire an attorney in 2007. The lawyer negotiated with New Life's insurance company for a settlement, which Boyd said was paid through the insurance, not through tithes.

The young man said he was to be paid $179,000 through 2009, which was to pay for his college education and counseling, the AP reported today. Because Charisma could not verify the identify of the man, his name is being withheld from this story.

Prepared For Prayer?

Personal Preparation

Before we prepare a case, we must first prepare ourselves. We do this by experiencing salvation, coming to know God and recognizing our position in Christ.
