Christian group to pay off $10,000 in strangers’ parking tickets

Written by Staff | Saturday, December 12, 2009

A Christian group in Boise, Idaho will once again camp out in front of City Hall and offer to pay off up to $10,000 dollars in parking tickets for any passers-by. Organizers say the Dec. 12 event is an example of how easy it is to receive God’s grace.

The Grace Gift Parable giveaway was first held in 2004, when Treasure Valley church leaders doled out nearly $7,500 to delinquent parkers, including one woman who arrived with more than a dozen tickets.

Montie Ralstin, Jr., the pastor at Boise Valley Christian Communion, says the event is to help people understand that even though they’ve made mistakes, forgiveness is available.

The $10,000 for this year’s event was donated by area businesses and the Christian Churches of the Treasure Valley.
