About Michelle Devore
Michelle Devore, also known as Michelle Brannon, was deposed on March 12, 2015, in a case involving Deborah and Ginger versus Ricky Allen Frazier. During the deposition, she stated that she was paid a salary of $70,000 per year from April 2013 until January 2015, after which she became a volunteer. She discussed financial practices at Joshua Media Ministries International (JMMI), including a $7,500 deposit from an unknown source and a $10,000 donation from Deborah Frazier. Devore said that anonymous donations are common and that the ministry does not have current financial statements or a balance sheet beyond December 31, 2014, nor does it have the IRS Form 1023 application for tax-exempt status. Devore also addressed restrictions on debit card usage, stating that guidelines had become stricter based on advice from a tax attorney. She noted that anyone with account information can make deposits, and that Deborah Frazier had previously wired money into the account. In a separate segment, she was heard encouraging attendees to give offerings, stating that discomfort during giving is a "devil" that should be rebuked, and that all contributions are used for the kingdom.
