WHEN CASH HIT THE ALTAR: MAKANDIWA PRESENTS US$1M CHURCH WAR CHEST
US$1 MILLION. IN CASH. ON THE ALTAR.
Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa gave congregants quite the Sunday spectacle today when he presented a staggering US$1 million in cash during a church service, money donated by businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo towards the construction of a new church.
Stack upon stack of crisp banknotes lined the altar as Makandiwa stood before the congregation, turning what would normally be a routine building fund into a very literal mountain of money.
The eye-catching display immediately became the talking point, with the sheer volume of cash making the church-building project impossible to miss.
Chivayo, who has previously made headline-grabbing donations to religious and community projects, is funding the latest contribution towards the construction of Makandiwa’s church.
This time, the building fund didn’t come with a pledge card, it came in bundles.
