God is One who provides. Have you forgotten?
Absolute turn off and red flag when a pastor asks for money.
When one this rich makes the pitch (I’m a poet and I don’t know it, I rhyme every time) then askance looks are understandable. Why didn’t he just go to his own pocket?
But church giving to other Christians is as old as biblical days. It’s hard to imagine how this gets organized if the pastor stays out of it.
