Rich III of Maine said 56-year-old Jeffrey Wall and his company, The Lighthouse Events LLC, are liable for the disgorgement of over $1,589,815 in profit gained from defrauding investors.  The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged Wall and Lighthouse of defrauding nearly 150 investors solicited to become "financial partners" of the company. The SEC said he raised over $3.1 million from investors and used that money to try and pay off cash-advance lending companies and pay back initial investors. https://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-concert-promoter-found-liable-for-16-million-defrauded-from-investors.html — Texas church to host Easter egg hunt Minecraft game As churches across the country change their plans for Easter Sunday in response to coronavirus, one congregation in Texas will be taking their Easter Egg hunt to the digital world.

The suit names Georgia Tech officials, the Student Government Association, and the Regents of the University System of Georgia as defendants for refusing to allocate funds to the pro-life group to have King as a speaker. Students for Life at Georgia Tech say they were discriminated against because of King's religious and pro-life views. https://www.christianpost.com/news/pro-life-students-sue-georgia-tech-over-refusal-to-fund-alveda-king-event.html — Hobby Lobby ordered to shut down stores after reopening  Hobby Lobby is facing criticism for reopening stores in states where governors have issued stay-at-home orders due to the coronavirus. The arts and crafts retail giant says its business constitutes an essential service since it's a supplier of education materials. In Wisconsin, Hobby Lobby reopened a store in Kenosha, but authorities shut it down Tuesday after it was said to have broken the "Safer at Home" mandate.  In Ohio, Attorney General David Yost ordered the business to close its doors Wednesday with a cease-and-desist letter. Stores in the Buckeye state had initially complied with the stay-at-home order that was in effect but then reopened.  https://www.christianpost.com/news/hobby-lobby-stores-ordered-to-shut-down-in-some-states-after-reopening-amid-covid-19-pandemic.html To read more stories from a Christian perspective, visit christianpost.com.
