Now this is cool news! Merry Christmas!
BLAIRSVILLE, Pa. – It's like a gift from God. A tiny church in western Pennsylvania inherited more than $2 million from a farmer who lived in a mobile home. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Sunday that John Ferguson left his entire estate to Hopewell United Methodist Church near the town of Black Lick.
The 71-year-old farmer attended the church before dying in January 2007. The gift has been in probate since then.
The church has just 80 members. Hopewell pastor Jason McQueen says a panel of congregation members will choose projects to be funded annually from the income generated by Ferguson's estate.
