Church Gives Away H2 Hummer - Televangelist Uses To Recruit

[matcom]

<snip>

TAMPA - Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne stands in the pulpit, preaching the promise of Malachi 3:10 over shouts of hallelujahs and amens.

God can rain down blessings, he says in his native South African accent, until "there shall not be room enough to receive it."

Someone apparently will need room enough in the driveway for a blessing the pastor plans to give away during the revival: A 16-by-10-foot H2 Hummer.

Revival Ministries International will give away a yellow, 2003 H2 Hummer during its Winter Campmeeting, which began Sunday and runs through Jan. 16. The weeklong program features Howard-Browne as the keynote speaker at the River at Tampa Bay, the church he and wife Adonica founded in December 1996.

5. Sign me up!

Somehow I'd have to survive a week there, but wouldn't it be a statement to win an H2, then smash it up as a protest?

7. W.W.J.D.?

As in "What Would Jesus Drive?"

Somehow I have a feeling he wouldn't be tooling around in one of those gas-guzzling Hummers (even if it was roomy enough to hold all his disciples).

Only in the case of Jesus it was just fish sandwiches.
