NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES

Church Members Robbed

Ugggghhhhh….

Yesterday, during Sunday service, robbers threatened the church's security guard with a gun and stole an expensive spare tyre attached to a jeep. The victims, a missionary family, were worshipping at our church and had bought a short term team with them. And get this: someone busted the window of their jeep while they were having lunch after the service with same team. No prizes for guessing the sort of impression that was left on our visitors!

It’s been a horrible month in terms of robbery. Some of our youths were accosted and robbed of their cell phones. Another person was also threatened and robbed at gunpoint by thugs who raced away in a car. All this took place within the vicinity of the church grounds.

There was a time when some thieves avoided robbing worshippers because they respected the church. Those days are gone.

Come Lord Jesus! Maranatha
