You would insist he have expensive surgery before blessing your church w/ his ministry????

If he refuses ??? this can be painful and even dangerous ..... or what if he can't afford it?

Yes! If I was a pastor I'd allow him on the platform to minister! God is a merciful God! If God saved him, who am I to tell him that he can't minister because of his past mistakes?
