An elderly woman has been told she is no longer welcome at First African Baptist Church In Bainbridge, Georgia because she has not been tithing.
92-year old Josephine King received a letter from Senior Pastor Derrick Mike, stating she "is no longer considered a member" because she "has shown non-support" financially and physically, according to WALB.

King had been a member of the church for five decades, but had been unable to attend regularly as of late because she's been sick and shut-in.

"She was stunned. She was disappointed. She was shocked," said Gerald Simmons, of his aunt. "You shouldn't chase the individuals down. You shouldn't do that. If that's the case, you're money hungry. You have to have money to make these churches run, but it's not about money. It's about God. You have to put God first."
Simmons added that his aunt had gone above and beyond to financially support the church in the past and hopes it changes it's policy.
Charlamagne Tha God awarded the church a well deserved "Donkey of the Day."
