Charlotte Church Gives Away 10-Thousand Dollars Worth Of Free Gas

CHARLOTTE — Hundreds of people lined up for hours in west Charlotte Saturday morning, all of them overjoyed to get some free gas.

The Kingdom City Church held its annual gas giveaway event at the Mobil Gas Station on Brookshire Boulevard.  The church gave away $10,000 in free gas, calling the event, ‘Gas on God’, a gift of love for the community.

WCCB News spoke to many people patiently waiting in their cars for their turn at the pump.  Many told us this special gift will go a long way in helping make ends meet.

“I really am thankful and grateful that they are doing this because people are struggling.  I’m struggling.  You never know what people are going through,” says Tashondra Smith, Charlotte resident.

“We’re hoping this is a great witnessing tool.  I wanna say ‘Gas on God’ because God is footing the bill.  Everything we have, we have because of the Lord,” says Brian Carn, Jr., Pastor of Kingdom City Church.

Kingdom City Church gives away thousands of dollars in gas every year.  Saturday, they also gave away groceries and Chick Fil-A gift cards.
