In a remarkable moment during a Sunday Mass, Father Emmanuel Bekomson, a Catholic priest in Calabar, turned the focus of tithing into an opportunity for direct community support.
The priest stunned his congregation by urging wealthier members to donate ₦5,000 each to those in seriously financial need within the church.
In his sermon, Father Bekomson invited members who could spare ₦5,000 to step forward.
As several people responded, he made an unexpected follow-up request, asking those who were seriously struggling and in need of the same amount to come forward.
In a moving gesture of faith and compassion, the priest instructed those who had tithe money to give it directly to the less fortunate members, sparking reactions both within the congregation and on social media.
Father Bekomson’s message emphasized the importance of selflessness and helping one another, highlighting that tithing should not only benefit the church but should also serve the greater good of the community.
This heartfelt appeal has garnered widespread praise online, with many applauding the priest for his practical approach to generosity.
