A former finance administrator who was hired to manage the books at Greater Salem City of God said the church’s finances were “a mess” when he arrived in 2004.
Nelson Adesegha said he tried to bring expenses in line with income – he cancelled church-issued credit cards for pastors Anthony and Harriet Jinwright – but ended up getting fired.
“There were a lot of credit cards,” Adesegha testified Tuesday in the Jinwrights’ federal trial on charges of fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy. “All of them were maxed out. I cancelled all of them.”
