Forget faith, sometimes a church can better filling empty seats promising to fill one’s tank rather than fill one’s soul.
A Georgia church is using a raffle for free fuel to bring in new members. For every service in a week (from Sunday to Wednesday) a person gets a raffle ticket for $500 worth of gas, which is roughly 20 gallons at current market prices. Being a southern church you might think it’s a Baptist church pulling a stunt like this, well let us tell you that you are just plain wro–oh wait, it is a Baptist church.
And the pastor’s name is Rusty. Yes, Reverend Rusty. We’re done snickering and we’re moving on.
