Some people will tell you that gambling is the root of all evil – just don’t tell that to Father Andrew Trapp, an assistant pastor at St. Michael Catholic Church in Garden City Beach, South Carolina. Father Trapp has found a way to use his skills at his favorite pastime to raise large amounts of much-needed funds for his church.
You see, while other priests may spending their time engaged in bible study or working with bake sales and other fund raising initiatives, Trapp went and auditioned for the hit Fox poker show, PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge.
After seeing his YouTube audition tape, producers fell in love with Father Trapp and immediately booked him to be a contestant on the show. Father Trapp sees it not only as an opportunity to build a new church, but as a means of drawing you men to serve God and their communities, “people across the country to see that there are still young men choosing to be priests, and that one can be joy-filled and have fun as one serves God.”
So far Father Pratt has won over $100,000 in the tournament and hopes to earn enough to begin the process of building a new church for his parishioners.
