A South
Carolina Pastor, John Gray has been criticised for buying a $200,000 Lamborghini
luxury car as gift for his wife on their eighth wedding anniversary.
But Gray, who
is the pastor of Relentless Church, defended the purchase. “God helped me to
make my wife’s dream come true. Why not? She’s made mine come true.” He said he
never used church money.
“First of all, it wasn’t a pastor that bought
the car. It was a husband that bought the car. I’m a husband first. Don’t
confuse what I do with who I am. What I do is I pastor God’s people. Who I am
is a husband and a father and I’ll do anything to honour them.
And I won’t ask
permission from anybody to do it. My wife has pushed for my dreams and my vision,
and she has toiled with a man who is still trying to find himself. That carries
a weight. I wanted to honor her for how she’s covered me.
What should
concern people who are actually genuinely concerned is ‘did this man use any
money from the church to do this?’ And the answer is no, absolutely not,” he
said.
