Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Paul Enenche, has drawn widespread attention following his recent comments on a matter that continues to stir debate within the Christian community — the financial aspect of global evangelism. During a passionate sermon delivered to his congregation and livestreamed on YouTube, the well-known preacher addressed what he views as a concerning trend among some ministers who embark on international crusades yet make a point not to collect offerings. His words have since ignited varying responses across social media and faith-based platforms.
In a moment of candid reflection during the service, Pastor Enenche raised a pointed question that echoed throughout the auditorium and online platforms alike:
“Why would you go around the world doing crusade and you do not take offering?”
The question was not asked out of cynicism but from a deep-seated belief in the importance of financial stewardship within the body of Christ. For Enenche, the logistics of running large-scale gospel crusades are not as simplistic as some may assume. The cost of flights, equipment, sound systems, venue rentals, security, outreach materials, and the manpower involved are all significant. He maintained that while the message of salvation is indeed free, the vehicle that carries that message to the masses requires funding — and that funding, he argued, should not be demonized.
Expanding on his thoughts, Pastor Enenche explained that refusing to collect offerings at crusades may seem noble on the surface, but could also reflect an unrealistic or unsustainable approach to ministry. He challenged the idea that avoiding financial contributions is somehow more spiritual or holy, noting that many people who are blessed by such meetings would gladly give if they understood their contributions were going toward kingdom expansion.
The respected clergyman, known for his bold teachings and dynamic delivery, was careful to clarify that his statement was not an endorsement of manipulative fundraising tactics that exploit the vulnerable. Rather, he made it clear that financial integrity and genuine intent must accompany any form of donation or offering in Christian ministry.
“There’s nothing wrong with taking offerings when it’s done with sincerity and used rightly for the kingdom,” he stated during the service.
He emphasized that the accountability of church leaders in handling offerings is critical. According to him, every minister has a duty to ensure that funds raised in the name of God are used appropriately and transparently. He explained that when offerings are received in truth and used for the right reasons — such as missionary work, church maintenance, and charitable outreach — then they serve their rightful purpose in advancing the gospel of Christ.
