VIRAL VIDEO: Megachurch Pastor Tells Ushers To Bar The Doors Until Congregants Fork Over More Money

The Root reports:

Marvin Sapp’s name is trending all over social media, but it’s not for a new gospel hit. In a now-viral clip, the “Never Would’ve Made It” singer can be seen talking to a crowd of at least 1,000 church goers in Baltimore and admonishing them to all “sow a seed” to their church.

While that’s standard procedure for any house of worship, where things went left is when Sapp ordered the ushers to literally close the doors of the church and to essentially not let anybody leave until they gave their money. “I said close them doors. Ushers close the doors, close the doors. Close the doors,” Sapp said. “We all gon’ leave together. Y’all ain’t going no place but to the restaurant.”

He went on to say that he needed 1,000 inside the building and 1,000 people watching the service online to give $20, which would total a whopping $40,000. Later on the clip, Sapp urged all the pastors who were seated and standing onstage with him to give $100 instead of $20, citing the fact that it “costs to be up here.”

Read the full article. There’s more scamming for Jesus. In their report, the Daily Mail shows Sapp standing in front of what is presumably his Rolls Royce. Last month Sapp performed a Tiny Desk concert for NPR.
