RawStoryTMZ reports that Spell has started a campaign called #PastorSpellStimulusChallenge in which followers are encouraged to send money theyve received from the government as part of the federal stimulus package to evangelists and missionaries.
Spell claims that he and his wife are both donating their personal checks to churches in need instead of using it to pay for food, although he did not initially offer proof of doing so.
His challenge also doesnt seem to consider many people are in desperate need of their stimulus money for food, rent or bills, notes TMZ.
Before you criticize him, consider that he's also keeping his Church open in defiance of State rules, so he needs to get the cash now before the congregation dies off...
CENTRAL, La. (WAFB) - An elderly member of Life Tabernacle Church in Central, La. has died of the novel coronavirus, according to a coroners report.
Tony Spell, the controversial pastor of that church, disputes the coroners findings, saying the man died of another medical condition.
That is a lie, Spell said of the coroners findings when reached by phone Thursday.

So did he cough up receipts later, or was that just bad writing and it really be an unqualified "did not initially offer proof"?
I know what my guess is.

Attendance means cash flow.
Jeffress, Pence, Robertson and their ilk are afraid that after a few months of missing church, people will find out it doesn't make any difference.
