Drop your offering online, says Ashimolowo as UK churches shut down over coronavirus

Mathew Ashimolowo, senior pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), has asked members of the church to drop their offering online.

As COVID-19 continues to spread, governments across the world are restricting gathering of people, especially in religious places.

In the UK where Ashimolowo pastors, Prime minister Boris Johnson has given an order for everyone to stay at home, banning public gatherings of more than two people.

In a video that has gone viral, Ashimolowo said the church’s offices would still be open and they would be able to answer questions on how offerings can be paid.

“I know you have a thousand and one questions. Our offices would still be opened. We will also keep safe even in the offices. We would be able to answer your questions on offerings, particularly those of you who have not yet known how to drop your offerings online,” he said.

“If you are able to, please do that. Get to the platforms, see how you can do your offerings online.”
