The paper had initially written glowing reports about the revival, but after former members told the paper that all was not as it appeared, the ''News Journal'' began a four-month investigation that revealed the revival had been "well planned and orchestrated" from the very start. It also called many of the claims made by the church's leaders into question, and delved heavily into the church's finances.

The church answered the paper's allegations by publishing a two-page spread entitled, "The Facts of The Brownsville Revival." |
