Viral Video Shows Pastor Urging Donation of High-Value Land During Honduran Service

The church has stayed silent, prompting renewed calls for oversight of religious fundraising.

Overview

  • Footage from a service in Tegucigalpa shows Mexican pastor Jorge Pompa telling a congregant that God ordered him to donate a land parcel valued at more than 3 million lempiras.
  • On camera, Pompa promises the man would receive greater material return if he donates, citing figures of keeping about $130,000 versus receiving $400,000–$500,000.
  • The clip has circulated widely on social platforms and Mexican media, drawing ethical criticism over pressure tactics tied to promises of prosperity.
  • In the recording, the congregant indicates he seeks the blessing, but reports differ on whether any transfer occurred and no documentation has been presented.
  • Pompa has not issued a statement and the Ministerio Internacional Fuente de Vida Facebook page has restricted comments as calls grow for greater transparency and regulation of religious finances.
