As a Christian I must admit that anytime someone approaches me to conduct business, and mentions faith I grab onto my wallet.
That’s not to say there are tons of scammers lining the churches, I just mean in general even if I meet someone at a social gathering. I vistited a fairly nice, growing church up in Carlsbad, and the first guy I met mentioned some investment property in Twenty-Nine Palms. Sure thing, blah-blah. Probably a nice church, but that left an impact that I didn’t want to go back.
