Pastor of 15 people was depressed banking $300 offering and went for a drive. Stopped in front of closed hospital in town of 5,000. Holy Spirit "ask the owners to give it to you." So he tracked down owner and asked for the hospital. Owner responded that he wasn't actually the owner but gave contacts of two others. Pastor then
asked of them. While waiting for a response he and his team decided to treat the building like it was their own and spent three days cleaning up the grounds. Next one of the owners calls and says "I'd like to give it to you but my business partner doesn't want to." Pastor says, "That's OK, we are praying and we just went and cleaned up the grounds." The owner replies by giving them the code to get inside. Pastor and wife then go through the hospital (three floors) with a legal pad and dreamed up what they would do with each room. They stuck their writing onto each door. Next the owner rings again requesting their tax details (501c3). He says "We have decided to give you the business and then we can claim a tax benefit." "We will pay the closing costs." "The only thing we don't require but wonder if you would consider is paying our tax liability on the building of $12,000?" Pastor says "yes" and receives a 38,000 square foot building valued at $3million for $12,000 plus $1.00 closing!
