Pretty Amazing

Somebody gets a gift for Christmas… a water buffalo donated to a family in China. But… there is no real water buffalo. And no real family. It’s just symbolic of what the money can do. The money actually goes in the general fund of a charity.

A different guy that lives in China hears about it, and offers his help to actually buy a real water buffalo for a real family.

Pretty amazing.

Now there’s some Christian ministry … or, something like what we could/should be doing.

I’m proud that the buffalo’s name was “Little Longhorn
