Nothing wrong with filling up the house this way... I know a lady that is in church from years ago because they were giving away a 2 liter Pepsi. I also know many people that are still in church today that came to “ help “ someone win in an attendance drive. We have a bus route that we started from giving a way school supplies... I remember people in the church mad and saying “ they are just coming for the free stuff”. Personally I think most people think our church is the same is every other denominational church so I don’t care how someone gets them to our church all I care is that they get their and hear the real truth of God’s word. There was 500 plus people that were at Bethany loving the blessing but only 120 were willing to show up to church and stick it out in acts.
