Celebrity pastor, Franklin Mondo Mugisha has openly stated that tithes collected in churches benefit pastors personally rather than the church itself.
In a TikTok video, Mondo revealed how the money given in the form of tithe is primarily used by pastors to fund their personal expenses, support their families, and maintain lavish lifestyles.
Mondo went on to clarify that the tithes received do not directly go to God, despite being given in the church’s name.
The tithe you give in church goes to us pastors. We use it to support our families, cover personal needs, and manage other responsibilities. Don’t be fooled—it’s we pastors who use that money, not God.
However, despite this admission, Pastor Mondo said that God still blesses the giver of the tithe, as their contribution is seen as supporting the church.
He explained that the act of giving remains significant in religious practice.
