Southlake church gives away free pregnancy (attempt)
Matt and Christina Jonker of Bedford will get a free round of fertility treatment, courtesy of eleven7 church. Just watch out for devil babies.
Unfortunately, this is the type of child that has resulted from other such charitable ventures.
The eleven7 church in Southlake gave away a free round of fertility treatment to Matt and Christina Jonker of Bedford on Father's Day, the end result of a contest for which over 100 childless couples applied.
Rev. Keith Luttrell says the church conducted the contest to "do for people what they can’t do for themselves." Can I get an "amen," or at least an "Awww....?"

Uhhh...Wouldn't the "Christian" thing to do be to match them with a child already here who needs a good home?
Well, at least it's not a really weird contest with the Reverend making his own donation.

Surely the very thorough reporters here at Pegnews would not have left out a gem like that!

Meh, DMN article just mentions fertility treatment from 2 local clinics...doesn't specify what that constitutes.
Dude could have convinced 100 couples he donated his Jesus semen to be inseminated, for all we know.

jtmbls: Actually, I think the Christian thing to do is be fruitful and multiply, so they're following the Bible on this one.

Sad but true. I meant to say the "Christian with brains" thing to do.
