Some Notes on Mark Jeske's Prodigal Income

WELS officials stole this independent congregation and its endowment.
Worship stopped - mission accomplished. WELS likes bars and theaters a lot more.
Mark Jeske's helper, Pastor Ron Muetzel was directly involved.



Someone noted that Time of Grace showed an income of $140,000+ for Jim Johnson, one of its leaders, but nothing was listed for Mark Jeske, who wants to "grow wealthy slowly." Great joke, Mark.

Some names on the Time of Grace form, as officers:

  • John Bauer.
  • Bruce Eberle, secretary.
  • Daryl Raabe, Chief Development Officer.
  • John Zimdars, president CEO.
  • Tim Lehman makes about $36,000.
  • Cliff Buelow is listed on the previous year's form.

I looked up St. Marcus and found no income listed for the congregation, but a lot of money listed for the St. Marcus Foundation, with Pastor Ron Muetzel as chairman of the foundation board. No pay is listed for anyone.

Parachurch groups can do more with creative accounting than an insurance company.

I theorize that there is a holding corporation of some type that serves as the umbrella organization. One can see similar shell games going on with Schwan cash distributions, where gifts are noted but the trail ends at an address, often the same address.

Thrivent headquarters in Green Bay is a white-washed sepulchre.
