ATM for GOD?

In an effort to make donating money as easy as paying at the pump, many churches and nonprofit organizations have set up “giving kiosks” — ATM-like machines that let donors use their credit or debit cards to give to a cause.

The idea was conceived about three years ago by Marty Baker, pastor of Stevens Creek Community Church in Martinez, Ga., who wanted to make it easier for parishioners to contribute to the church’s capital campaign, specifically targeting those people who don’t carry cash but have a debit or credit card on hand.
