Paul Endrei, is the founder and head pastor of Church on the Rise in Westlake. Details of the case have not been made public, but we hope church officials cooperate fully with law enforcement and aggressively seek out others who may have been hurt by this minister.

We also hope that church member and the public are not blinded by the popularity of Endrei and remember the innocent victim in this case. We urge anyone who saw, suspects or suffered any inappropriate behavior from Endrei, will contact secular officials.

(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world’s oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We’ve been around for 25 years and have more than 18,000 members. Despite the word “priest” in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers.

pastor paul endrei idolizes televangelists like steve munsey and benny hinn who are master of deception and con people of of their money promising them financial riches from god if they give the televangelists lots of money but many people have gone finaciallly broke giving their hard earned money to televagelists like benny hinn, steve munsey and creflo dollar who said during one of his sermons if you don’t tithe to the church you should be shot execution style with a gun and pastor paul endrei wants to be on christian tv like the trinity broadcasting network and be big and famous preacher like benny hinn, kenneth copeland and creflo dollar who are con artists seeking to get millionaire rich off their followers and these preachers are manipulative and greedy and will tell people god will strike them dead if they question there anointing, i will question there fake anointing any day, people at church on the rise will accuse you of witchcraft if you said you pray to god for someone to like you as a boyfriend or girlfriend and some there act like martial arts is from satan which is a butch of b.s.

In addition no one should be making any judgements rendering the accused guilty until all evidence and testimony have been evaluated. To do otherwise is unjust.

Winter Appeal 2023

To our friends,

2023 has been a long year with many ups and downs for us all. As we close out the year, we at SNAP hope that you are feeling like you are on your way to being healthy, fulfilled, and happy. This past year has brought both successes and challenges. Thanks to the support you have shown in the past, we’ve been able to celebrate the good days and weather the stormy ones. Now, we are once again asking for your support as we work to support survivors new and old as we ‘Move SNAP Forward.’

At SNAP we are proud to have hosted a very well-attended conference in August 2023. This event allowed us to gather friends, survivors, advocates, and allies for a weekend of camaraderie and connection. We were so happy to be able to welcome many first-time attendees to gather in person and are already looking forward to the next conference.

To strengthen our movement for justice, healing, and prevention, SNAP will be expanding our peer support and providing more volunteer opportunities in the coming year. Through this great work, we are ensuring survivor voices are represented as we work for significant change that will benefit children and survivors.

Right now, survivors worldwide are getting the help they need from SNAP, and more and more reach out to us daily, but we need your help to keep those programs going and get our volunteers the training they need to thrive.

Your tax-deductible gift to SNAP can help offset the cost of our important mission. If you are not in a position to contribute, you can still support us by sharing this letter with those who can. As we continue to fight for survivors across the globe, your donation or sharing the great work SNAP does will help us continue our work to protect the vulnerable, heal the wounded, and prevent abuse.

Your donation ensures SNAP will be there for those who need us more than ever!

Warmly,

Michael W. McDonnell, C.P.S.

Interim Executive Director
