01 - Dalton Thomas Resigns from Frontier Alliance International (2024-02-19)

Updated on 2025-08-18

I was getting ready to contribute to the Five Dollar Monthly Giving Campaign at Frontier Alliance International (FAI) in the early morning of Feb 08. A banner at the top of the organization’s site stated that Dalton Thomas, the founder and president, had resigned .

I loved Dalton Thomas. He was the best teacher of the Bible I’ve ever encountered. I was dumbfounded when I read the details about his resignation. I’m very saddened, hurt, and confused about what Dalton did. How could he continue to falsely represent himself as a man of God and hold the leadership position that he held at FAI while having an adulterous relationship?

Introduction

I began eating squash and rice again in 2019 in an effort to eat healthy, but cheaply. I was purchasing frozen cubed butternut squash, but it was tough even after heating in the microwave, making it difficult to mash.

My wife makes a kabocha squash soup, which brought back memories of my first assignment to Japan when I was a member of the U.S. Air Force . I attended a local Japanese church and after service, I would go to a local restaurant or grocery store, purchase something to eat for lunch, and then go back to the church to eat. Sometimes I would buy cooked rice with some kind of black seed sprinkled on top and what was probably steamed/boiled/baked kabocha squash, which I enjoyed.
