Prayer By Mail Promised to change my life for good if i sent them a faith offering of 91 Shrewsbury United Kingdom
Prayer by mail aka St Matthews church invite people to send in their prayer requests using a online form or a postal address. A few days later they will send you a letter with an annointed feather from a Pastor Matthew saying that you have been prayed for and then they ask you to sow a seed offering of 91 in return for financial increase and blessings in 3 problem areas in your life. This is a scam. Please do not send them any money WHATSOEVER. A few days later they will send you another letter with 1 million dollar bill asking for more money. As a christian for 8 years I would encourage anyone to sow their seed of faith through prayer to the only true living God and not to con artists. I have found numerous fraud reports about this company on the internet. Just put in st matthews church scam into google and you should find it straight away. God always answers prayer and supply our every need. Through prayer we hand the situation or circumstance to God giving him the oppurtunity to work in our lives. If you are going to sow any money it should be given directly through your local church and the more you pour in the more the Lord will pour out. We cannot outgive God. The lord wants to bless us.

YOU CAN READ WHAT HAS BEEN POSTED ABOUT THE TELEVANGELIST ROBERT TILTON ON THE RIP OFF REPORT TO GET A GOOD BACKGROUND ON HOW THESE PRAYER SCAMS WORK. YOU SEND YOUR PRAYER REQUEST AND YOUR CHECK/CHEQUE AND THEN THEY THROW AWAY THE PRAYER REQUEST AND KEEP THE MONEY. THEY ONLY PRAYER THEY DO IS HOPING THERE WILL BE ENOUGH VICTIMS TO SEND THEM MONEY SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORK. WHAT IS THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL SCAM? THERE IS NO ACTUAL GOSPEL IN THE BIBLE NAMED PROSPERITY. SOME HILLBILLY FAKE PASTORS TOOK A COUPLE OF BIBLE VERSES OUT OF CONTEXT AND COOKED UP A CON GAME -- IF YOU GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THEM, THEY WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND GOD WILL SEND YOU WONDERFUL BLESSINGS AND YOU CAN DOUBLE OR TRIPLE YOUR MONEY. HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT GOD WILL DO THIS? WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THERE IS NO GOD? IT DEFIES LOGIC. IT IS A SCAM. IT REMINDS ME OF THE OLD PIGEON DROP SCAM!

i was looking online for info about prayer by mail. And found this report. but i do not have any bad experience with this ministry and never received feather or million dollar bill like this person says. i just want to say i have been greatly encouraged and helped by the letters sent to me and different things are for different people. maybe prayer by mail wasn't right for this person but its right for me and probably many many others. i have received prayer cloths, ribbons, coins, leaves..in the bible they used many weird things as point of contact and the bible says jesus is the same today. and the bible teaches tithes and giving. i cannot give each time i receive a prayer by mail letter but sometimes send 5,10. god knows i am giving it to him not to any man or pastor. i believe prayer by mail is genuine,you just have to have faith and do what is challenging for you. anyway it has brought me closer to jesus christ,that's what matters. thanks for reading and listening.
