The Envelope That Changed Everything (Mocktower)

The Clocktower has discovered evidence that Campus Ministries has received a grant from an anonymous donor for a grand tour around the country. This was discovered when a mysterious envelope with a check was found during the relocation of CM. Several people connected to the finding were contacted, and a few were interviewed. The Clocktower has conducted extensive research on this mystery and has uncovered the following information.

The check written was from an organization called “The MeLchiZedeK Group, LLC,” with the amount gifted being $1 million. Upon the discovery, a special meeting was convened to discuss how to use the funds. Several CM staff voiced their opinions, and many proposals were brought forward, which included starting a worship group called “All Tribe Worship”. After much discussion, everyone agreed on planning a nationwide tour. The meeting was adjourned with a future meeting put on the books. In the second meeting, CM staff explored what the goal of the tour should be. Many argued that the group should visit Adventist and Christian institutions and have a mega-event in a stadium to culminate. However, a few individuals pointed out that a large donation should not be spent so lavishly; They stated that using the grant to help the community, sponsor long-term projects, or establish scholarships would be a better use of funds. 

Hours passed as debate intensified with rifts becoming obvious. With much passion and many compromises, the CM team finalized the details of how the funds were to be distributed, and is as follows: $750,000 was to remain in CM’s account, while $150,000 would go to CM’s projects, and $100,000 reserved for the grand tour. When one CM staff member was asked about the meeting, she shared that she was ecstatic that CM was given the opportunity to step up in its mission and hopes that many people will be impacted by its upcoming initiatives.

Perhaps you may be reading this, and you may be wondering what you did wrong to not get $1 million in your bank account. If this is on your mind, I would like to challenge you to do one thing. Head over to some place, find someone, and minister to them however God impresses you to. Ministering to people will not always require a million dollars, but God can certainly make use of a million-dollar mind and a priceless heart.
