Keith Locke Review - http://www.keithlocke.com/
In October, 2016, our ministry hired Keith Locke to build a new website with additional branding jobs that were paid separate from the website proposal. Keith asked for $1000 up front on a $6, 500 proposal and then $500 a month until paid. No worries, except once the $1000 was paid problems quickly began to arise! Keith had agreed to meet out board and ministry partners the following Monday to go over plans and designs for the new site.
After making arraignments to have everyone in CO to meet with Keith, he calls and said his dad in Ohio was sick and he would need to reschedule the meeting. We rescheduled for the following week and he started with in with another excuse only this time I told him to refund the $1000 and we would get someone else. He then said that he had incurred some unfortunate and unexpected troubles and asked if he could get an advance so he could afford to come to CO. We gave him $500 and he drove all night to our meeting but looked rough.
He had to lease a car to come to CO because his personal vehicle was impounded in CA and had racked up so much storage that he had to let it go because he couldn’t afford to get it released. We loaned his one of our personal vehicles for what was supposed to be two weeks and six months later the police had to give him a one-week deadline to had it returned or he would be arrested for auto theft. He tried to say the car was a gift, but the police saw right through his phony scam and was forced to return our car the following week.
All through those months he kept promising he was on the way to CO but then something would happen and he wouldn’t show up. When we finally tracked him down he had this excuse and that excuse and would always need more money. When he was forced to return the car, the front clip was torn off, he had drained the oil and the engine was dry. Then when we went to have it worked on the oil filter fell off.
He racked up hundreds of $$$$ in Texas tolls that we had to pay and to this day, he has never paid that money back, nor has he completed hundreds of $$$$ of work he was paid in advance to do and refuses respond to calls.
When we did our homework on him, though, too late, we discovered Keith Locke http://www.keithlocke.com/ had hundreds of thousands of dollars consisting of 10 separate judgments against him, and that he has been sued and lost numerous times by other people he has coned out of thousands of $$$$ and has stiffed business partners etc…. The policeman who forced him to return our car said: “That man is one smooth talker!” “Beware!” As of today Keith Locke has stole thousands of $$$$ in money from an established and respected Christian organization and like the officer said; “He is a smooth talker!” Never did anything wrong, doesn’t know anything about it, or flat out lies about his agreements. Beware!

Just recently Keith has went out of his way to resolve this issue both financially and relational. He has been attending some great classes at a church in Dallas and has married a young lady that has been a tremendous support and influence in Keith's life. These issues are hardly ever resolved in this way and when they are you know that God is working it all out as a testimony for His glory, but also as a testimony that there are no winners in conflict, but also, there are no losers when hearts are humbled through conviction, and every effort is made toward making peace while desiring true reconciliation. Keith has done all of that and I commend him for that and I pray that others will see this and follow the path that Keith has chosen. I am proud of what Keith did and have the utmost respect for anyone who is man enough to do what Keith has done! If I've seen it a thousand times, the other 999 was never resolved, but this is one for the record books, and one I will never forget!

“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your loving-kindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight—that You may be found just when You speak, and blameless when You judge. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You (Psalm 51)!”
