Actually, I am not sure-- but how would that conversation go over anyway?

Maybe not.
After service, I got to see a second much larger, 2-building lot that the church owns in a bad section of Cleveland. It is an old 19th century edifice, beautifully and classically built, along with a school building next door to it.
This small congregation of inner city believers share their Pastor's vision for the city and they are not afraid to give.
Due to the largeness of their vision, my gut tells me that this Pastor will probably take a good portion of what was given financially and put it towards his vision for the ministry.
I realize I am being very optimistic, but you should have been there to see what I saw.
These people give and give and give and probably have been doing that for quite sometime.
