[AmazingGrace]

I am so glad we have such a wonderful pastor and I am so glad our church absolutely loves to bless him! The giving in our church is so wonderful to see... And our church will also just randomly a member will take a huge basket and place it on the edge of the platform and everyone will just fill it to overflowing with a blessing offering for our pastor. He lives a modest life and with a very large church he could indeed live so much nicer if he chose.. he doesnt and there are times I do wish he would do more for himself but he loves to see it grow...

I remember the last time our church gave the additional basket offering for him... we had a family in our church who used to be missionaries to India... and now are our Indian pastors.. the wifes mother had just passed and they spent much money returning home to be there for the funeral. Pastor said this is so unexpected let us please return this to the S..... family... so we did and then the giving got doubled. We actually carried the offering into the evening service and filled the basket twice.. it was wonderful to see and wonderful to see a loving giving church and one that wants their pastors to flourish and have the best God wants for them!
