US pastor called out widows, war veterans, single mothers and fathers in need and ordered them to take any amount from the offering baskets

Pastor John Gray of Relentless Church in Greenville, South Carolina, left his congregation stunned when he called out war veterans, widows, single mothers and fathers in need and ordered them to take any amount from the offering baskets.

In a late November sermon, Pastor Gray told his congregation: "But God told me after we collected offering to leave it at the altar. And then let those who had needs get what they needed from the offering baskets."

"There's some money in these baskets, for you and the kids to eat. And get some gas, Pastor Gray said to the people as they came forward.
