They give what the Lord has blessed them with in building churches or assisting people. In a lot of occasions, one can account for the fundraising money, for example, in a funeral arrangement. I have one in my constituency where a young man was shot by unknown criminals this week. The family did not expect it. It is a shock to everyone. Because he is from my village, I have to participate to make sure that he has a decent send-off just like what Joseph of Arimathea did. He was a good-natured man who gave assistance to make sure that Jesus Christ had a decent funeral. He did not know that he was doing such a great thing to a great personality and saviour of the world in those days. Therefore, when people fundraise or do good things to others, it has a good cause."}
