Baptist Church in Dallas Raises $115 Million for New Campus; Pastor Calls It a "Miracle"

The Christian Post website reports today that the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas has raised more than $115 million for a new campus, surpassing what any Protestant megachurch has ever collected toward a project.

Pastor Robert Jeffress called it a "miracle" -- especially for a congregation that's a fraction of the size of some of the largest churches in the United States.

"Let's never forget our Red Sea moment as a church," he said Sunday (May 16, 2010) after the capital campaign result was announced.

Rev. Jeffress added, "For generations to come, people will look at May 16, 2010, as the day God parted the Red Sea and performed a miracle for the First Baptist Church of Dallas -- a miracle that should fill our hearts with gratitude toward God and faith for the future."
