For the idea file: An 'above and beyond' opportunity arose in one church and funds were needed. Someone came up with idea of using a lantern (like the one shown) and ask people to only give their "Jesus Dollars" - these were dollars with the letter "J" on them in their identification area. Everyone took out their money and looked and then came forward to donate funds to the lamp on the altar. Strangely, people just could not restrict themselves to the bills with a "J" but soon gave money denominations and many letters to the ministry effort. As one person said: " It really made me think about whose money that was in the first place! I have it on loan from God to do some good in the world..."
