Your video provided popped up another of the same theme by a local African American Minister, Dr Kevin Cosby.
He took a small church on 15th street here in Louisville that had 300 on the rolls and 150 attending to a 14000 roll/8000 attending mega church.
I drove by the church every day to work for about eight years and was continuously astounded at the growth I saw.
The neighborhood can only be described as Urban blight with 100 year old shotgun houses, Liquor stores on every corner with people lined up early in the morning for their fix and high crime. In such neighborhoods property is cheap and he began buying up property and expanding until the curch campus takes up almost a city block.
Recently he acquired Simmons Bible College on 18th, Kentuckys first Black College, and restored it's liberal arts program.
He plans not only for the gospel but for enriching the community.
Excellent interview HERE
And look! No WOF pyramid schemes!
