  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Darryl Muzik Martin, pastor of His Way Spirit Led Assemblies in Colton, California, has joined his wife, Shelley Bailey “Kat” Martin, in facing a second murder charge for the death of a congregant who went missing in 2023 after he left their religious group.

In December 2025, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office announced the arrest of Martin, 58, his now 63-year-old wife, and 44-year-old group member, Rudy Moreno.

The arrests were tied to the alleged murder of Emilio Ghanem, 40, who went missing in 2023, and the alleged 2010 murder of 4-year-old Timothy Thomas. Arrests were also made in relation to firearms.
