A good percentage of a Sunday morning crowd comes back for evening services and offerings are generous although there is no push, pull or hype.

He pauses and says “ We’re going to pause and allow you to give an offering as an act of worship. This is what I do to support my family.” Nothing more is said. The pastor offers a prayer and receives the offering. Wes comes back up almost immediately and begins to lead people into altar ministry times.
