I had heard a story a number of times since attending a Christian & Missionary Alliance church; the missionary who couldn’t raise any money to buy a property, but when one child sent in a buck, the seller sold it for that one dollar. The details changed a bit each time I heard it (one time it was China, another Hong Kong; one time it was a building, another it was a property; the circumstances around the final sale changed a bit, etc.), which is a hallmark of an urban legend, and so I was a little skeptical.<\/p>\n
But sometimes the story is true; it’s just that gets the old "Telephone Game" treatment. But at our Missions Conference this week, they played a video of the missionary to whom this happened. So straight from the horse’s mouth, here’s the story<\/a> of a child’s ice cream money that opened up an avenue of ministry to reach over 1 million young people with the gospel message.<\/p>\n
