I received a letter today from saint matthew's churches. The envelope said that "two homes are about to be blessed..." "Yours First!" and "then it must go to another dear friend". The envelope contained a paper prayer rug and a short ritual to complete and finish within twenty-four hours because the prayer rug and the accompaning letter and flyer had to be "out of the house" tomorrow morning. A list of prayer requests was contained in the letter and a check mark could be placed in the requests that you would like to have prayer for.
This type of scam plays on peoples emotions and religious superstitions. I can see that it could cause emotional problems for people who might be taken in by it. With the internet and the many people out there wanting our money, I have become accustomed to checking things out that I am not famaliar with. I could not find a website under their name and found the site name in one of the other reporters summary. I do believe in the power of prayer but I think that the only prayer the consumer would get from this group might be, "Yea Lord, keep the money rolling in" or something to that effect. Hope this helps!
