(The Christian Post) Congregants at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, cheered and applauded their pastor Sunday after learning that each family present at worship services had been gifted $100 to cover their own needs or “pay it forward” to anyone else they chose.
“Today, we’re flipping the script. Today we’re reversing what we would normally do,” said Travis Eades, the lead minister at the church where popular Christian author Max Lucado also serves as teaching minister.
“Every week, we remind ourselves, we don’t give to the Church; we give through the Church. And friend, I want you to know, you are the Church. You are the Church and you know needs that we will never know. And you can reach people that we would never be able to reach,” Eades added.
