I'm just not familiar with missions fundraising through gofundme requests. This is one of several lately, but my experience has been through group car washes, bake sales, yard mowing, youth handyman projects, etc. and most are endorsed and underwritten by the church sponsoring the group. Straight up requests for handouts would be done during service, maybe with a special offering request.
I worry that some might fall prey to the latest trend in cons/scams. Please be careful when given by money online.
@donnatella:
Yea, I'm not a fan of this begging for money via gofundme, or any way for that matter. This is a church thing, keep it in the church community or on an individuals Facebook where they are asking from friends. This is the third one in as many days. How do we know it's not the same person? My gut tells me this is bad/scam. I wish Joe
@kingwooddotcom would ban these gofundme posts. I'm tired of the begging. They should post on the classifieds after being vetted. 4951
