Church pastors facing destitution as tithes dry up in Covid crisis
from Christian Today:
Pastors around the world are facing destitution and even starvation because of the devastating impact of Covid on church tithes.
The pandemic has forced churches around the world to close their doors, which has in countries that rely on cash giving led to severe financial hardship for the pastors.
Many are struggling to feed themselves, let alone give anything to those turning to them for help, Open Doors UK and Ireland has warned.
Pastor Joel, from India, whose name has been changed for security reasons, is one of the many church leaders to have been affected by the financial crisis.
“The church has had to be closed, leaving us with no support or any source of provision,” he said.
