People from all over the world helped the Texas church to raise the funds after the church was demolished as it was deemed too painful to continue using it as a place of worship following the shooting.
Frank Pomeroy – the pastor at the church, recently revealed plans for a $3m project for a new site to draw the Sutherland Springs community back together.
He told ABC news: “Just as God was resurrected and brought back, he’s bringing Sutherland Springs back.”
The present sanctuary has been turned into a memorial to those killed in last November’s massacre.

There have also been non-monetary donations made to the church, including blankets, toys and other gifts.
