Pastor John Lowe and his wife Debbie Lowe have resigned as per an article written by daily mail. Amid all the controversy going around John’s character and accusations of adultery, his better half has chosen not to react to it in front of the media.
Moments later a woman took the podium and said she was 16 when the “affair” took place.
The press is trying to get to her but all in vain. She has chosen not to entertain people who are into getting scoops from her family’s despair. However, on the other hand, people are already putting out sympathizing messages for her.
One of the netizens says that it is his deepest prayer and pledge to love, support, encourage, and assist her in every way they could during her healing journey.
Similarly, the other one writes, that his brokenness includes Pastor Lowe, his wife, and their family.

Pastor John Lowe Adultery Affair With Bobi Gephart
Pastor John Lowe acknowledged having an adulterous relationship before his congregation on Sunday. Then his alleged victim came forward, claiming to be 16 at the time.
The 65-year-old Indiana church pastor told his congregation that he sinned by committing adultery about two decades ago, in a shocking confession that prompted a woman to step forward and reveal she was his victim at the age of just 16.
“I committed adultery. It was nearly 20 years ago,” Pastor John Lowe II said at the end of services at New Life Christian Church and World Outreach in Warsaw, Fox News reported.
“To say it plainly, I didn’t make a mistake, I didn’t have an issue, I didn’t have an affair, I didn’t make a misjudgment – I sinned. I need to say that, and you deserve to hear it,” he said.
The pastor asked the congregation to forgive him for the “deep wound” he said he caused— explaining that there was “no good reason” why it took him so long to come clean.
“If I could go back and redo it all I would. I can’t. All I can do is ask you to forgive me,” Lowe said from the podium.
Pastor John Lowe II told his congregation he had an affair twenty years ago and asked for forgiveness.
“To my wife and family, who I deeply hurt, I have confessed my sin, and they have graciously forgiven me and expressed their love to me,” he added.
He then announced that he was stepping down from the ministry – and received a round of applause from the congregation.
But things turned much more awkward moments later, when a woman stepped forward to the microphone along with a man who identified himself as her husband.
“For 27 years I lived in a prison. It was not 20 years … I was just 16 when you took my virginity on your office floor. Do you remember that? I know you do,” the woman, now in her 40s, told Lowe.
“I lived in a prison of lies and pain. Lying to protect the Lowe family. I thought I was a horrible person having suicidal thoughts, not realizing what had truly been done to me,” she said.
“The church deserves to know the truth. This church has been built on lies, but no more. The lies need to stop,” she said.
He stepped down after the explosive disclosures at New Life Christian Church, and the Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office said it was looking into the allegations.
An attendee’s video of the entrance was extensively circulated on Facebook. It received more than 90,000 views as of Monday afternoon. The woman in issue and her family were asked to attend our church service in preparation for Pastor Lowe’s public confession.
‘She did go and, together with her husband, spoke before the church, revealing that she began engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior when she was 16 years old and continued until her thirties.’ Further, she revealed her years of tremendous guilt and suffering with tears in her eyes.
