| Landover Baptist survives in part through the monetary contributions
(tithe 18.2%/ member annual income) of church members. This mandatory
donation is dwarfed however, by the contributions that come from our Major
Donors.
Out of 1.5 million Landover Baptist Donors worldwide, only a handful
are categorized as "Major Donors." A Major Donor is one who gives
'unceasingly' and 'more than the allotted portion.' Most Major Donors contribute
over 5 million dollars a year. They have buildings built in
their honor, roads named after them, sermons dedicated to them, fountains
bearing their name, and impromptu galas prepared to celebrate their arrival.
Most of Landover Baptist's Major Donors are political or business figures
who 'ease' the tax buffer by making large contributions to a
non-profit organization of their choice. As a non-profit organization,
Landover Baptist maintains an impressive $1.3 billion dollar annual budget.
Our major donors help us meet our yearly Christian goal, and serve their
Lord and Maker by channeling in millions of dollars a year in contributions.
The secular world gawks and is jealous that God wants the best for his
beloved followers. We challenge them to stop 'gawking and criticizing'
and join the family of God. God does not want you to be poor, in spirit
or in material wealth. You can bet the bottom line that you will
remain poor until you give your life to Christ and start attending Church. |
