I've never heard this taught in my entire life. Is it kind of a regional thing?

LOL! Well, we're getting ready to enter a MAJOR building program for a new sanctuary. Maybe we could incorporate this new doctrine.

I think it will work as long as you are able to promise that those giving will be receive a percentage of those who give down line!

After 6-12 months all they will have to do is walk to their mailboxes to pick up their checks.

Ugh........you wouldn't believe how many of these schemes people have tried to suck us into over the years. They always come after preachers/pastors because they think they can reach your whole congregation. Melaluca, Shaklee, etc. etc. etc.

I know of a congregation close by that just built a new building.

They are strongly encouraging 20% from all of their members.

They are gonna have to have that too, to just survive.
