Pastor Bill Galus, of the Walnut Grove Christian School in West Mifflin, created a unique fundraising idea in the hopes of raising $10,000 for his school and daycare center.

| Pastor Bill Galus pictured with the handmade whale that he would later stay inside of for three days and three nights, as a fundraiser for the Walnut Grove Christian Daycare. |
He spent three days and three nights inside the belly of a whale - just like Jonah! Though the Pastor's whale was built out of PVC pipes, screen door mesh, and paper mache. The school Daycare Director, Christine Miller, and the Art Team painted the features of the whale.
Pastor Bill went inside the whale on Thursday, January 17, and came out on Sunday, January 20, after church service. The only supplies he took with him were his phone, flashlight, and bottled water. He planned to fast for the 3 days so that God would touch his heart. For Pastor Bill, this is more than a fundraiser. He explained, “It's not about me. It's not about Walnut Grove. It's about the Lord.”
