(CP) – Louisiana pastor Tony Spell who has been criticized in recent weeks for having in-person services in defiance of social distancing guidelines is asking people to donate their stimulus checks to ministers and evangelists who “haven’t had an offering in a month.”
“I’m donating my entire stimulus, $1,200. My wife is donating her stimulus, $1,200. My son is donating his stimulus, $600. #PastorSpellStimulusChallenge. If you don’t have a church, give through my website www.ltcbr.com,” Spell who leads Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge, said in a YouTube video promoting his #PastorSpellStimulusChallenge.
The challenge, he said, will begin on April 19, and he urged would-be donors to share their cash with North American Christian leaders and ministers. “Donate it to North American evangelists who haven’t had an offering in a month. Missionaries who haven’t had an offering in a month. Music ministers who haven’t had an offering in a month,” Spell said. READ MORE
