In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), a Ghanaian woman shared a humorous yet thought-provoking story about an experience she had in 2017.
She recounted how she “sewed a seed” of GHS 1,000 at a church in Pigfarm during a fundraising event. This substantial donation was part of her savings accumulated over two years, intended to further her education.
The day after her generous contribution, the church’s pastor approached her with a surprising request. The pastor, evidently taken aback by her donation, asked if he could borrow GHS 3,000 from her.
The post quickly gained traction on social media, with users reacting to the story:
– “Life no balance,” one user commented.
– “Please, I’m a Kotobabi boy. Which church at Pig Farm?” another queried, seeking more details.
– “The pastor didn’t believe in the seed germinating!” a user joked.
– “He won’t pay you back. When you ask him, he’ll tell you ‘fama nyame’ (give it to God),” another warned.
– “Lol, Wei nyinaa 33f3? You sure say ebi true experience? Cos I can’t can,” someone expressed doubt about the story’s authenticity.
– “Tell us the blessings that came your way after sowing that seed,” another user requested.
– “A swear the pastor has prince in his name and Eli sth sth sth,” one user speculated about the pastor’s identity.
– “The next thing we know, a pastor will be here cursing you for lying,” someone predicted humorously.
– “Charle, you got to be kidding me. That wasn’t the end I was expecting,” another user expressed surprise.
– “The church has become a business institution,” a user remarked, critiquing the state of modern churches.
The story not only provided a good laugh but also sparked discussions about the ethics of church fundraising and the financial pressures placed on congregants.
