These events, he added, mobilized “so many people that the government became alert and decided to put an end to Puerta de la Montaña because it saw it as a social movement, although we know that it is deeply religious and only religious.”
Jon Britton Hancock, founder and president of Mountain Gateway, told ACI Prensa that the events were “purely religious. We are not politically motivated nor are we involved in politics, neither in Nicaragua nor in any of the countries where we work.”
“What we believe about our work is that we are not ambassadors of any country, but ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven and that is why we are concerned about the good of all people,” he said.
The ADF International lawyer also highlighted that the Nicaraguan government “does not like someone having this ability to move people, it does not like any type of leadership.”
