Minister's Arrival

I asked Robert Matthews what is "covering" he said to me Evangel Temple helps the smaller churches with insurance,  I knew he wasn't telling me the truth , they do not help anyone with any situation.   I was in the office stuffing envelopes for a meeting, when the news came that a Pastor from Nigeria was coming and wanted to stay at the Meares's home, some of the Ministers were calling around trying to get him a place to stay, but nobody wanted to accommodate him. So Robert Matthews said, I know where to send him, we can send him to Sister Douglas home, he will get free meals there so they all agreed. Someone mentioned to me let Robert know I heard what was said. I confronted him, then he came up to me put his arm around my shoulder and said, is it alright Sister Douglas for the Minister to stay with you?  I said yes its alright it is for Jesus.                                                           

The Minister arrived at my home I gave him a Guest Room ,fed him daily, snacks included,  he wanted laundry done as well. So I washed his long cotton gown for 3 days and ironed it. The next day I told the Minister I wouldn't be able to do his laundry and ironing any longer. The Minister shouted at me and told me I had to do it because the Church was paying me.  I told him without raising my voice that the Church does not pay me to do anything, I do it for Jesus Sake. He was very much surprised.

The next day he took his clothes to the Laundromat, I continued giving  him meals.  The Minister had all his cologne on the dresser, but didn't believe in wearing them, that was his choice. When he left it took me 2 weeks to get the room the way it was.
