Jason Holt attempted to silence whistleblowers and erase evidence

Jason Holt attempted to silence whistleblowers and erase evidence

Email below is from Jason Holt on Feb 7, 2023, at 1:30 PM in an attempt to get a whistleblower who contributed to this site, in trouble. Jason is the Latin America Field Director and one of VBM's executive directors.

Summary

  1. Jason attempts to get a whistleblower, who resigned from VBM because of their corruption, in trouble for exposing VBM's corruption.
  2. He claims the whistleblower is "bearing false witness" by providing actual evidence of recordings, emails, and text messages.
  3. Jason continues to cover up abuse and attempts to silence victims, and erase whistleblower efforts, rather than address the issues.
  4. Jason claims recordings were illegal, even though Georgia is a one-party consent state, and the emails and texts were sent to personal accounts. So, not illegal.
  5. (Travis Snode and Pastor Trent Cornwell have also made previous attempts to silence the whistleblower and his wife for exposing the truth about abuse and subsequent coverups.)

There is also evidence of a separate attempt from the one mentioned here to remove his entry on the BaptistAccountability database.

Dear [President of new workplace],

I appreciate ________________'s focus on planting healthy churches around the world. We, too, at Vision Baptist Missions have been focused over the past 18 months on building a healthy, biblical mission agency for God’s glory. By his grace, we have acknowledged past failures and have restructured nearly every level of our leadership, our policies, and our accountability structure. Our sincere desire is to honor Christ with integrity. ...

Question: Where have they publicly acknowledged any specific wrong? Notice: It is always vague "we are doing better" statements, not an actual confession of specific wrongs done to specific people.

Meanwhile, sadly, "Whistleblower" is openly misrepresenting VBM’s leadership on the dearvisionbapitst.com website, on their social media pages, and via innumerable emails. He continues to provide dearvisionbaptist.com with information including private emails, personal text messages, and illegal recordings of private conversations from late 2021 through early 2022. He is bearing false witness.

Question: "Bearing false witness??" "Emails, text messages, and recordings are not "witness testimony" at all. It is is "evidence." How can that be false witness?

The tone and tenor of the website is not reconciliatory or Christ-like. On numerous occasions, Vision’s leadership has offered to meet and to work towards understanding and reconciliation. This is at the heart of the gospel. You and I should be moved to action in times like this for the gospel’s sake.

Their "reconciliation" attempts seem to be more for their reputation's sake than the Gospel's. The obvious attempt here is to get embarrassing information about them removed, but what is NOT obvious is any repentance.

I respect your mission's commitment to promote healthy churches. At the same time, I am utterly baffled at how one of your missionaries is allowed to conduct himself in this manner. "Whistleblower" is a poor reflection on your organizational identity and leadership.

Now attempting to shame the President into assisting with their cover-up.

I am willing to meet with you, my pastor, other members of VBM’s leadership, "Whistleblower," and his pastor.

Please help us address this situation.

From what I know of you and your character, I cannot imagine that you condone "Whistleblower's" behavior.

For the gospel’s sake, let’s move forward to find healing and reconciliation.

In Christ alone,

Jason Holt
Latin American Director
Vision Baptist Missions

P.S. I have included my pastor, Trent Cornwell, in this correspondence.
