Fouke - Few people can be seen around the Tony Alamo Church Ministry Sunday. A day after federal and state investigators raided the property, security guards stand by at the gate at the church. Residents in the small town are glad an investigation is along the way.

(Melissa Champion, Resident) "They made it look like a compound, what are people suppose to think. When they have armed guards ,something's going on."

Anthony Lane says his children live with their mother inside the complex and that he hasn't seen them in 10 years when he was kicked out of Alamo's ministry.

(Anthony Lane, Former Church Member) "Never was really a member at heart, only there because of my children and my wife.  I know they separate families and hide children from their own father and I witnessed the marriage of a 13 year old girl to a 45 year old man while I was there."

Lane says now he just wants to be sure his kids are safe.

(Lane) "My hope is I'm going to get to see my kids soon...and away from that."
