There is a scam going on where people pretend to be the pastor and ask you to purchase gift cards on his behalf and then ask for the number on the card you purchased so they can redeem them. Do not fall for the scam.
I will NEVER ask you to purchase gift cards as a special favor because I am busy or in a meeting.
And I will NEVER try to contact you using any email other than [email protected].
Anything else claiming to come from me, especially if it is asking for money, is likely a scam.
