Today I met with a long lost secondary school friend who is
working at city harvest now.
She revealed to me the secrets of how CHC and Kong Hee earns big
bucks.
Actually, from cell group leaders all the way to Kong Hee earn a
commission when they get new members to join the church.
For example, a member who earns 3k a month is recruited into the
church. He donates 10% of his salary which is $300 a month to the
church.
He will be introduced into a cell group and as long as the cell
group leader(CGL) manage to make him stay and make him donate 10%
of his salary every month, the CGL will earn a commission.
CGL earns 10% of $300 which is $30 a month. Each cell grup is
estimated to have around 10 to 30 members so we shall take 20
members in a cell group as a example. The CGL will earn $30
multiply by 20 members which is already $600 a month.
On top of that, the CGL will encourage his cell group members to
bring new members into the church in which he will get the
commission which is $30 a month assuming the person earns 3k a
month. The CGL does not tell his cell group members about this so
his kum gong cell group members keep on brining in new members not
knowing that its the CGL and the Pastors who benefits while they
get nothing.
The Pastor gets a higher commission of 20% a member. So Pastor
gets $60 a member. Each Pastor is in charge of around 10 cell
groups and assuming each cell group have 20 members the Pastor gets
$60 x 20 members x 10 cell groups= $12k a month.
Kong Hee gets the highest of 40% commission.
Assuming that there are 30 000 members in city harvest and earn
of them earns 3k a month, he earns $120 X 30 000 members=$3 600 000
a month which is even more than what our Ministers are earning.
The remaining 30% which is $90 multiply by 30 000 members=$2 700
000 goes into the church fund which is used to pay staff salaries,
electricity bills, investment etc.
Do note that using 3k a month salary as a guideline is already
very low as CHC is full of rich people who easily earn more than 3k
a month.
On top of that, CGL and Pastors are entitled to claim for
travelling expenses etc so their earnings are much more than
that.
So people, next time when you want to donate 10% of your salary
to CHC think carefully..
