Tooley is a pastor in the Melbourne, FL area that has adopted a Mexican child whose family went on missionary trips to over 10 countries in the 2012. While some missionary trips are for genuine reasons to minister to the less fortunate I have known some people from more affluent churches who appear to use them for family vacations and adventure to avoid having to work for a living. I know it may sound callous but I've seen it with my own eyes and it bothers me as I don't feel that their work for the Lord is for the right reasons.

In addition, Tooley, is an an immigration rights activist that has given speeches at local colleges and encourages immigration (apparently illegal immigration too). As mentioned before he has an adopted Mexican girl that lives with him which is most likely the child that was "frightened" by "demonic activity" activity at the Trump rally recently. It could be that he is using this incident as a publicity stunt to bring attention to his adopted daughter's plight and immigration "rights".

I attended the Melbourne rally. This guy is wrong. Any demonic activity he sensed while there was brought in by him. He’s a crackpot not a preacher of the gospel.

“Pastor” Joel Tooley: I would guess there were eventually at least 3000 people in the room. It was nowhere near full, but there certainly were a lot of people there. . .

THE HILL 2/18/17:

President Trump’s campaign rally Saturday in Melbourne, Fla, drew a crowd of 9,000, the local police said.

“All attendees now in the AeroMod hangar for the @realDonaldTrump rally. Total attendees at event = 9,000,” Melbourne Police tweeted.

Trump held a similar campaign event at this airport hangar during the general election in September. According to reports, 15,000 people attempted to attend the September rally, but some were turned away. . .

> Another thread this morning outed this pastor as a liar with a nevertrump post history on social media.

I also found numerous articles about I'm that showed he has appeared in other Nazarene churches and local universities to speak about immigration issues and is def pro immigration. As an aside, he has an adopted Mexican child who may be the same child that appeared with him at the rally. Looking at his photos and reading his posts, he sure doesn't appear to be conservative and I am getting the feeling that this whole incident was staged to make Trump and his supporters look bad ala Austyn Crites style.

Currently Tooley claims his BA and MA are from Vanderbilt. Here’s his real credentials:

It's one thing for a regular Joe to fake his credentials but when it's done by a pastor it takes it to a whole n'other level. I'm sure God will out this charlatan and expose him for what he is.

Gary Hart was a member of the same flock, trained in KC at the same institute. His lying is more a reflection of his worthiness to share the gospel than either Donald or Melania Trump. Shame on him. What a TOOL!

Thank you for the back story, I would think from what you say that he was using his adopted daughter for a political stunt.

Witches Worldwide are Planning to Cast a Spell on Trump on 2/24/17.

They should be careful because if the spell doesn't stick it flies back to them with untoward consequences.

In other words, if President Trump is protected by our prayers, them ladies better watch out.

Just sayin.

Remember when the MSM mocked “Jebus” lovers etc.? Well, they think Christians are remarkably stupid and backward so they are hi-lighting some “stupid” and “backward” Democrats in hopes of stampeding Republican Christians.
