“Share everywhere ….
Our church was broken into last night.
I did a live video but some people don’t watch them so I need to rant a minute.
Someone removed an A/C unit from a window, went straight to my office, went in , took the 5 gallon water jug filled with change and quite a bit of money, guestimation… around $1500 according to a previous count in a different jug not quite as full as this one was, and went out the same way. My heart is heavy as I pretty much am sure it was someone we help and minister to regularly to because they knew what they were after and went straight for it. I am praying for them. The money was for our Children’s Church building fund. Please get the word out and although I know they won’t , pray their heart is convicted and they bring it back. That I’d a big blow, a lot of money to our little church. Thank you and God bless.”
