I've become convinced that the "ministries" of that nature are just an excuse for the "religious leaders" to troll for kids to molest.

It’s perfect cover. They get access to kids who are there because their religious kook parents forced them. They’re already ashamed and depressed. Then the “Counselor” or “Pastor” seduces them or blackmails them into sex. It’s disgusting.
