“ If the individual churches and state conventions don’t rise up against these entity heads and change their CP giving—that’s what speaks to those people,” Thigpen said. “ It’s when the money changes and the money issues come.”
Thigpen said that she has spoken to leaders in churches who have said that they have already stopped giving to the CP or plan to stop if the Ministry Check website is not operational by the time the denomination gathers in Dallas this June.
“ The only way to get the change and to get them to listen to you is to change your giving,” Thigpen said.
“If you really want to impact missionaries…give to them directly,” she added. “ You can choose as churches where your giving goes. It doesn’t have to go to the SBC to disseminate.”
