Jeannette Jives-Nealy, 50, styled herself as a “pastor prophetess” at Kingdom Dominion Worldwide Ministries in Memphis, the Tennessean reports.
But in June
and July of 2014, Jives-Nealy and her family weren’t exactly doing God’s
work — they were using the organization as a front to steal more than
$162,000 in government funding, according to prosecutors. That funding
was meant to feed poor and hungry children throughout the summer.
A jury convicted Jives-Nealy of theft over $60,000 and money laundering on Friday, Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich announced in a release Monday.
