$1.5 Million Donation Pays For New Texas Church
Reporter: Associated Press, Dec. 9, 2008

Longview minister Rev. Thomas McDaniels wished for a $1 million gift to pay for a new church, and the wish came true. (prayer was answered)

McDaniels of LifeBridge Christian Center says a businessman, who chose to remain anonymous, wrote him a $1.5 million check.

Members of LifeBridge, which formed in 2005, have been meeting at a Longview hotel, but their new church opens in a few weeks.

McDaniels said in January 2007 he took a bank deposit slip and wrote $1 million, "meaning that one day someone would give us a million dollar gift."

The minister, who prayed over the deposit slip, says a business owner asked him last week how much was needed to pay for the church.

McDaniels said $1.4 million.

The benefactor's check included an extra $100,000.

McDaniels says, in these economic times, that "the Lord wanted to show his power."
