Lamb Foundation Scandals: Theft Charges & Daystar Controversy!

19 May, 2025

Is trust always warranted, especially when institutions sworn to uphold values face serious accusations? The Lamb Foundation, dedicated to “creative programs to improve the quality of human experience,” now finds itself shadowed by allegations of theft and mishandling, sparking questions about its integrity and the well-being of those under its care.

The legal system is currently scrutinizing Gina Lynn Sandone, 47, of Quakertown, who faces numerous charges related to alleged thefts from a resident of the Lamb Foundation in North Wales. The charges stem from incidents that have cast a harsh light on the operations and oversight within the foundation, raising concerns about the safety and security of its residents.

Adding another layer to the Lamb family narrative, there’s Daystar Television Network, founded by the late Marcus Lamb. An "Inside Edition" investigative report from 2020 quoted Marcus Lamb stating that Daystar was recently appraised at over $1 billion. However, Daystar's financial dealings haven't been without controversy; in 2012, the network attempted to permanently seal its financial records in a court case, a move that was successfully challenged by the Trinity Foundation in Dallas County Court.

The Lamb family's story includes a complex web of personal and professional relationships. Marcus Lamb's death in November 2021 led to Joni Lamb taking over as successor, a decision that reportedly caused friction with their son, Jonathan Lamb, who felt it was a form of retaliation for accusing a family member of abuse. Jonathan and his wife, Suzy Lamb, have alleged that their young daughter was molested by a family member and that the situation was improperly handled. Daystar has claimed that an internal investigation in 2021 cleared the alleged perpetrator, a claim disputed by Jonathan and Suzy Lamb.

Further complicating matters, Joni Lamb's financial activities have also come under scrutiny. Research by the Trinity Foundation suggests that she acquired six residential properties worth $11 million over time, including four houses in Texas, a home in Georgia, and a beach condo in Miramar Beach, Florida. This information adds fuel to the fire surrounding the Lamb family and the various organizations they are associated with.

Past tensions within the Daystar organization are also relevant. An individual, whose name remains redacted, resigned from Daystar in 2008, citing disillusionment with their experiences there. In 2010, this same individual filed a lawsuit against Marcus Lamb and Daystar TV, which was settled in 2011. Joni Lamb also denied allegations in a November statement. Furthermore, it's been reported that Jonathan Lamb was disappointed when he wasn’t named president of Daystar.

Beyond the legal and financial issues, the Lamb family has maintained a public presence. Joni Lamb and Doug Weiss of Daystar Television Network are known figures in religious broadcasting. Numerous Daystar TV executives attended the inaugural National Faith Summit, which featured Donald Trump and some of America’s best-known religious leaders. Attendees included Jonathan Weiss, Rebecca Lamb Weiss, Joni Lamb, Rachel Lamb Brown, and Joshua Brown.

The narrative also involves other individuals connected to the Daystar network. Dr. Doug Weiss, a marriage counselor and sex therapist, founded Healing Time Ministries and the American Association for Sex Addiction Therapy. It is also worth noting that Graham, a Southern Baptist pastor, is no longer listed as a host on the Daystar website.

The American Sheriff Foundation, Inc., established by Lamb in 2018, further illustrates the complexities. The organization filed articles of incorporation as a nonprofit, including a "certificate of disclosure" form that probes into past felonies, frauds, thefts, antitrust violations, and financial history. This level of scrutiny, seemingly intended to ensure transparency, ironically underscores the gravity of the current allegations.

Real estate holdings beyond Joni Lamb's also paint a picture of considerable wealth. Morris owns a home worth $1.7 million, and Lamb’s home is valued at more than $2.5 million, according to Redfin. These figures offer a glimpse into the financial landscape surrounding those connected to the Lamb organizations.

Amidst the allegations and scrutiny, the Lamb family has presented its own narrative. Joni Lamb, in particular, claims to address accusations, family relationships, and her unwavering dedication to truth and faith with both clarity and openness, recounting her personal journey through one of the most difficult periods of her life.

However, not all accounts are positive. Online reviews of the Lamb Foundation paint a concerning picture. One reviewer wrote, "I don't even want to give this place 1 star… please do not take your family members to this foundation. I found out the hard way about the way this woman, Donna Mendel, treats her residents... down to the so-called sandwiches they are supposed to eat." Another comment stated, "The residents are blamed for broken things, no proof is ever showed you." These testimonials, while anecdotal, contribute to the growing unease surrounding the foundation’s operations.

Despite the controversies, some individuals associated with the Lamb Foundation speak highly of it. For Jim Smith, working at the Lamb Foundation is a family affair, with his wife, Bonnie, and their daughter, Jenn, also involved. Jenn began working at Lamb first, and a year ago, asked Bonnie to consider working as the manager of Sweet Repeats Thrift Shop. These positive associations highlight the complex and multifaceted nature of the foundation’s impact.

The legal troubles, the financial questions, the family disputes, and the varying accounts of the Lamb Foundation's operations all contribute to a narrative of significant complexity. As the case against Gina Lynn Sandone proceeds and as other related matters continue to unfold, the public will likely gain a clearer understanding of the truth behind the allegations and the actual impact of the Lamb Foundation on its residents and the broader community.

Indeed, the Bible itself is filled with scriptures about lying and the consequences for those who do. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" is one of the Ten Commandments, underscoring the foundational Christian belief that lying is a sin. The ethical implications are therefore amplified when considering the context of a religious foundation.

The situation surrounding the Lamb Foundation and Daystar serves as a stark reminder of the power of money and influence, and the importance of transparency and accountability, even within religious organizations.

Jeanette Hawkins, a former marketing director, alleges misconduct by her former bosses at Daystar, adding another layer to the ongoing saga.
