"The seasonal Christmas offering was down significantly and, commensurately, the need for services the church is expected to provide is up," Ross said.
Services that need funding include the church's food pantry, homeless ministry, counseling and support groups."
and according to this

"As the money has rolled in from his book, Warren stopped taking his $110,000 annual salary and repaid the church for his 25 years of salary since its founding. He and his wife became "reverse tithers," he said, keeping 10 percent of their income and giving away the rest, including $13 million in 2004."
Of course, it's not really a hardship to live on $1.4 million in 2004, is it? I think most people could manage that, but I also sorta doubt that most people who make $14.4 million give away $13 million of it. Depending on where he gives it, I think that's very commendable.
