Celebrity pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. offered a special "challenge" on Valentine's Day to the people who stole his car, saying he wouldn't press charges.
The VOUS Church pastor, who hosted a Sunday Service with Kanye West ahead of Super Bowl LIV in Miami, announced on Instagram that his car had been found after it was taken from his driveway Wednesday.

"Whoever you are that took our car," Wilkerson said, adding that it likely was three people. "We love you. We're for you, and thank you for leaving it somewhere that we could find it."
But he didn't stop there.
"Here's the deal. I want to challenge you right now," he said. "If you keep doing stuff like this, life is not going to be good for you. You're going to spend probably forever in prison, so here's a challenge."

He explained, "Now, listen, I will not pay you. You did steal my car, but for three months I'm going to intern and mentor you, and I actually believe if you give us three months of your life, your life will change, you'll be on a much, much better path, and I think you can take this really bad thing that happened and we can turn it into a good thing."
Instead of pressing charges, he said he wants to love them.
