Wow, you're asking people to dig deep. Being a drunken sod, I often wake up to these guys while laying on my couch at 3 in the morning. They are horrible. They often commend someone who only makes $300 every two weeks for sending in a donation of $200. This is followed by assurances that God is now working on their problems and fixing their life. Vultures!
The only benefit I can think of that they provide is the placebo effect. Maybe the poor guy who sent this asshole two-thirds of his paycheck becomes emboldened upon hearing the pastor's assurances and is therefore able to approach the next day with gusto and confidence. But really, what redeeming qualities lie in someone who sells sugar pills for 200 bucks a pop? A snake oil salesman should be regarded with higher esteem. After all, "snake oil" often contained alcohol and/or opiates which have some kind of real medicinal value.
