ALEXANDRIA, VA A former Alexandria pastor s wife pleaded guilty Friday to money laundering in a fraud scheme to defraud members of a Christian organization.
Brenda Millender, 60, was the wife of Senior Pastor Terry Millender and the First Lady of Victorious Life Church in Alexandria. Prosecutors said Terry Millender posed as CEO of Micro-Enterprise Management Group, which alleged it helped poor people in developing countries get short-term loans for their businesses. He used a Christian mission to draw investors in and promised investors guaranteed rates of return. Court documents indicate he used the money instead to trade on the foreign exchange currency market, make payments on a $1.75 million residence for him and his wife and other personal expenses.
