Louisiana pastor has a new social media challenge and it would take your weekly offering to another level.Pastor Tony Spell, the controversial leader of the Life Tabernacle Church in Louisiana, is challenging people to donate their stimulus funds to churches with his #PastorSpellStimulusChallenge.
The challenge is to help evangelists who cant pass the offering plate due to forced closures caused by the pandemic, according to TMZ.
Starting Sunday, Spell is asking people to donate their stimulus money to North American evangelists, missionaries or music ministers who havent received any money from parishioners in the past month.
Spell is not included in this challenge because hes kept his church doors open, most recently on Easter Sunday despite warnings and concerns about public health.
Spell didnt clarify if his challenge requires people to donate some or all of their stimulus check, but he says hes practicing what hes preaching by donating all of his $1,200 and so is his wife.
Churches, like other organizations, are also facing difficult times but a good majority of churches across the nation were still able to hold Easter services virtually this past weekend despite being closed to the public.
