Robbery at the Church
We have been planting churches among the desperately poor for over 5 years now and to this point have never had a problem even though we are working in very dangerous communities. Sadly, that streak was broken last week when our church plant in Vila Nova was broken into. Several musical instruments and sound equipment were stolen. Most of the instruments were the personal property of the pastor and his family. They had sacrificed over the years in order to buy them. As you can imagine this is a huge financial blow to both the church and the pastors family.
In addition, the church now has the expense of adding some extra fencing for security and repairing the damage from the break in. Certainly, this is a minor set back for the advancement of the kingdom in this community. The enemy cannot stop the church from breaking down the strongholds in Vila Nova so he must resort to trying to discourage the workers. Please pray for them. I know this attack will be difficult for them especially as they gather this week for worship.
If you would like to help with the cost to replace the items that were stolen and/or install the new security fencing please click the link below.
