In giving to the poor, shall church always take the initiative, to
distribute the tithings of the memeber to the needy, or encourage
individual memebers to give and distribute to the poort without
using the name of the whole church, if they feel that the Lord is
leading to do so?

Someone says church in most cases has priority in helping the poor, in the name of the whole congregation over individual members, other says
there're no big differences, the other says church shall also encourage
each member to help the needy besides giving to the church.

What's your comments on this? I searched monergism and found no
answer to this question, could someone provide some online references?

Thanks.
