I recently received a "faith handkerchief", which is made of paper, from Saint Matthew's Churches in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Although it does not ask for money directly, the letter does mention including a "seed offering" when you follow the rediculous instructions in order for your prayer "to come true". In other words, they want your money. This is a rip off. It sounds no different than the zillion Nigerian and Canadian scams circulating out there. Here is a piece of advice. If you are a true believer in the Lord, then attend and give your money to a local Bible based Church in your community. Churches support many legit charities and other causes, like missionaries, food banks, and homeless shelters. Unlike putting your money in an envelope and sending it to St. Matthew's Churches, you will be able to see where your money goes AND the Church is required to give it's members an accounting of what they do with their money. God bless!
