Sermon Moves Congregation To Surprise Waffle House Staff With $3,500 Tip
This pastor felt lead to do something for people who work in food service. So, he prayed about it and decided to bless the local Waffle House servers with a generous tip. People who work in food service do not always get treated fairly. There are many occasions where customers eat and then leave without leaving a proper tip for their server.  So this pastor knew just the thing to show restaurant servers the love of God.

He encouraged the church members to give in the offering as they felt led. He told them that all of the money that is collected will be used to tip the workers of Waffle House. He wanted to make sure that they give the servers the biggest tip that they have ever received in their life. And that’s exactly what they did.

The pastor and a bunch of his church members stormed to the Waffle House, money in hand. There barely was enough room in the restaurant to fit everyone.

When he told them how much money they had to split between themselves, the servers began to cry. They were extremely blessed by the gift and hugged each other in celebration. What a neat way to remind people how big the love of God is!
