Watch: Celebrities blast Pastor Brian Amoabeng for saying churches don’t have to provide hand sanitizers for members
Some Ghanaian celebrities have taken to social media to express their disappointment at Pastor Brian Amoateng for what they describe as insensitive comments.
The founder of Brian Jones Outreach Ministries, Brian Amoateng, said it’s not the responsibility of the church to provide free hand sanitizers to its members during this Coronavirus pandemic, rather, it’s the government of Ghana.
“And let me tell you, it’s not the responsibility of the church to buy hand sanitizers for you because you give offering. It is not. You give offering to God to receive a blessing. It’s not compulsory that the church has to bring you hand sanitizers,” he said in a live video on his Facebook page.
Brian continued: “The bible says that God loves a cheerful giver. It should be out of a cheerful heart. You shouldn’t give to the church and expect favour in return.”

Joining the conversation on social media, some Ghanaian celebrities like Efia Odo, Eddie Nartey, Mzbel, Sister Deborah, Salma Mumin, Jasmine Baroudi, rapper Edem and others have called him out, stating that Coronavirus has exposed all the greedy and fake pastors in Ghana.
Eddie Nartey wrote, “Nkwasiaaaaaasem! You give money to God. Is God standing at the church receiving that money??? even my unborn child knows that money is for you!!! If you can’t help humanity in these trying times, then just SHUT UP!!!”

This virus will show you who the real men and women of God are and you shall know them by their fruits.
