You should not feel bad, you gave in good faith out of the goodness of your heart, to what you thought to be a good cause. The pastor has betrayed your trust and God's so let it weigh on his conscience (if he has one). I would stop giving to this place or in this way. Make sure the money gets to where it should go.
However, if you are giving because you expect a blessing in return or something like that, then you are giving for the wrong reasons. Although I wouldn't say the pastor has cancelled our your hopes and prayers, the fact remains that you gave in good faith and with good intention, so nothing is cancelled out.
