Our congregation needs a building. That amount would do it, but I don't think I'd spend it all on a building. I think we could do with a lot less building right now and build according to need and add on as in the future.

The portion that would be left over would most certainly go to ministries/missions, but I'd have to pray and think a long time with my fellow church members before deciding where to invest it in the Kingdom.

"I want to assist churches and to assist pastors in training pastors. But, after fourteen years of service in this capacity, I am absolutely certain that the finest theological seminary on earth is absolutely incompetent at replicating the actual life of a Gospel congregation. I want to train a generation of pastors who will train pastors, and I want to help them in that task." --- Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President of THE Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY
