Today is a good day to ask why the @FBI hasn't yet held @Kanakuk Kamps leadership accountable for maliciously hiding evidence of pedophelia by their beloved former camp DIRECTOR Pete Newman. https://t.co/claUnGNCyD
hits different now: “Pete Newman is the most thorough relationship builder with kids in Kanakuk history,” Kanakuk chief executive officer Joe White once said. “This guy has a raging love for God and it spills over constantly to the kids at kamp
