R. W. Schambach
"I want you to sow the greatest seed you can for this harvest...As you sow in obedience; as you give in faith; God will come through for you and your family. Listen, I know you have family members who still need to be saved. You may have prayed for them for years. Some may needs jobs. Others may be bound up in poverty and sickness. This is how I am praying. I am asking the Lord, that as you take the cause for souls, and sow largely into this project, I am asking God to multiply the blessing back to you not only 100-fold financially, but also 100-fold harvest of souls in your family...Remember, give God a chance to work in your life. Let Him challenge your faith. This is big. You are going to give big--God is going to move, BIG!"
(R. W. Schambach, letter from his ministry 2004)
"The spirit of poverty will be broken when you give $2,000!"
(R. W. Schambach, Audio-clip, Bible Answer man, Hank Hanegraaff, 2004)
"The Rev. R.W. Schambach, 72 years old and fired up, has been exhorting viewers of the world's largest Christian TV network to give $2,000 each during a spring "Praise-A-Thon."
Don't have it? Just send in $200, and God will get you the rest within 90 days, he says, squinting into the camera at Trinity Broadcasting Network studios in Tustin.
"You say you got no money? You're the one I'm after," he says. "They can't accuse me of being after your money. You ain't got none! But if I can help you get it, then I want some of it. You hear me?" He crushes a Bible against his mustard-colored sport jacket.
"It works!" yells the Texas preacher and Praise-A-Thon mainstay. "IT WORKS!"
"In the NAME of JEEE-sus, the debt burning has begun!" Schambach shouts on this last night of Praise-A-Thon. "The smoke is going up to choke the devil."
Paul Crouch and faith healer Benny Hinn haul a large box toward the fire. Inside are thousands of pieces of paper with the names of those who have called in pledges and included a tally of their personal debts. The men throw the paper in by handfuls. Schambach retreats from the flames.
"The wealth of the wicked has been stored, but this billions of dollars of debt is being released to the people so that they can give more! They are going to finance the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. I BELIEVE this in my spirit!"
"You are to be commended. Many people bypassed this section of our web-site. They do not have it in their hearts to give. You do. God sees your desire to be a partner in the world-wide harvest. He sees your desire to give. I am asking God to not only supply bread for your food, as He promised, but that He would also supply seed to you, the sower, according to His word. (2 Corinthians 9:10) May He make all grace abound to you in every way and return your gift to you 100-fold."
