Amid rising gas prices, churches around the United States are helping communities by giving away thousands of dollars worth of gas to hundreds of cars, bringing smiles to the drivers and infusing hope.

With the average gas price in the U.S. above $4 per gallon, Pastor Brian Carn of multi-campus Kingdom City Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, gave away $35 gas cards to more than 300 drivers on the west side of the city last Saturday.

He spent $10,000 from his personal finances for the event called “Gas on God.”

The giveaway was held at the Mobile station on Brookshire Boulevard on March 12. A video shown during the church’s March 13 service shows a long line of cars in the street in front of the gas station waiting to receive the free gas.

Carn thanked those from the church who participated in helping orchestrate the event.

“I am extremely grateful for what we was able to do. As you notice, so many people’s lives was touched today,” he said. “You got an opportunity to experience what I get to experience as a result of changing the lives that God has allowed me to change. You were able to minister to people. One lady came and said, ‘I don’t need gas. I just need prayer.’”

“This is what it’s all about,” he added. “God is so faithful. We was supposed to do this three weeks ago. But they shut it down. We went and prayed and asked the Lord to turn it for our good. We see what the Lord did was held it back until the whole country is talking about gas.”

One woman in the video said she drove about 25 minutes to receive her free tank of gas.

“The lines really weren’t long,” she said in the video. “I just really appreciate everything you guys have done for me and everyone out here today.”

“Once we got here, you feel the Holy Spirit around us and the kindness. You could feel His Spirit just move you,” another woman said. “Speaking with people prior to even getting up to the pump and getting your gas, praying with the people, it’s earth-shaking.”

In an Instagram video, Carn told his 99,000 followers, “the pandemic isn’t over.”

“The pandemic is the spirit of fear,” he said. “Now, people are fearful over whether they are going to have gas or they are not going to have gas. They shouldn’t have to make that choice.”
