Vanished Deposits

In my ministr(ies), people often made large donations to the Church. These were usually traceable. In other words, one knew who to thank, even if one didn't make it public. Now a Church officer would present me every quarter with a list of donations, with names attached. But one member approached me, asking me to find a way to make a large donation completely anonymous. I spoke to the bank, split their donation into parts, and deposited it myself. Later, our officer presented me with the list of quarterly donations. But the anonymous donations were missing from the list. I would not have known it, if it had not been me who made the deposits. Privately, I challenged the officer concerned. They denied that such amounts were ever received. I therefore presented proof (one of the proofs shown here -- the date erased). OBSERVATION: Looking back, for the good of the Church, I would not recommend a private approach. I would best have remained silent, and asked my questions in front of the Church.
