If you can give to orphanages, cater for instrumentalists and needy in your church- Uncle Ato to church leaders

Renowned gospel musician Uncle Ato is calling on church leaders to recognise and reward the dedication of instrumentalists, singers, and needy members within their congregations.

In a recent interview on Showbiz 360, Uncle Ato noted the biblical principle that "every labourer deserves their wages” from the bible verse of Luke 10:7.

Uncle Ato specifically addressed leaders of single-founder churches, urging them to prioritise the well-being and care of their members.

 He cautioned against exploiting individuals gifted with musical talents, stressing that their contributions to the church's ministry should not be taken for granted.

“The scripture makes it clear. In 1st Corinthians chapter 9, the bible says that no soldier goes to war buying his own uniform and boots, no. He deserves to be taken care of.

“In Matthew 10, it also says the labourer deserves his pay so when you go, they will give you where to sleep and it must be given and because that is assured you don’t need to worry about charging them because it is something that must be made for you.

“Probably if you don’t put them on salary prove to them that you care,” Uncle Ato stated.

Uncle Ato revealed that he personally supports instrumentalists and singers in his church, despite not being able to provide a monthly stipend.

“Sometime, some of these boys, you don’t know where they sleep, what they eat, you don’t even know how they come to church and we don’t even care.”

 “We need to do it, even we gather church monies and give out to orphanages and those on the street, what is the big deal if you have to support those who are contributing to the church, it’s not a problem at all,” he stated.
