This is along the lines of Oprah's recent "Pay it Forward".
Also a book and a movie of the same name/ concept.
It is used as an example of what can happen when we give.
Some examples googled "church pay it forward" below.

Sounds a little like a take off on the parable in the Bible where the land owner left money with his servants and went on a trip. When he returned he called them all together and asked them to account for what they had done with the money he gave them.
Matthew 25

The Reverend Jim Jones gave free Kool-Aid to his gullible, Christian flock.

My church has annual congregational meetings and they tell everyone how their money is used. And you can also say where you would like them to use you money.
