Personal Freedom Outreach
|
Personal Freedom Outreach (PFO) is small but influential evangelical organization that serves to "educate Christians about the dangers and heretical doctrines of religious cults, to use the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach members of those cults and to warn Christians of unbiblical teachings within the church itself." PFO operates its ministry from three separate post office boxes, with the main office located in St. Louis, Missouri. PFO consists of 10 people, including seven officers and three board members.
PFO was founded by M. Kurt Goedelman in 1975. PFO publishes tracts and other materials that biblically critique the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, The Way International, the Unification Church, Christian Science, Christadelphians, and other controversial religious movements.
PFO publishes the Quarterly Journal, which has included articles on Protestant teachers and organizations which it considers marginal such as Benny Hinn, Rebecca Brown, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Bill Gothard, Joyce Meyer, and the Trinity Broadcasting Network, as well as groups which it considers cultic or theologically aberrant.
