Vandals attack Calgary Church building
 |
Vandals have been attacking the building where our church met in Calgary, Canada – First Evangelical Free Church. Apparently, on three different days this week the building was attacked. There was graffiti on the walls, then a fire in one of the planters. This morning there was another fire by a door – with gasoline. Apparently it happened at 2am. The door was charred, but the rest of the building is ok.
We would appreciate your prayers for the vandals, that God would somehow turn this situation into good in their lives, and also for our friends as they try to deal with the situation. Also, of course, for the safety of the people that use the building.
Here’s a news article from CTV Calgary about the vandalism (this was written before the most recent arson attack). Thanks, Brian and Amanda for the link, and thanks Grace for the additional info.
For those of you from First Free who are reading this – we’re thinking of you and praying for you!

Wow! Our Enemy is using so many tactics to discourage Christians. Jim, do you remember when Garside was badly burned when someone had it in for Pastor Ralph? That was a tough thing for the church to go through, but the Lord provided for them to rebuild and carry on!!
And yes, I just prayed for the vandals as well as your friends there.

No, I don’t remember that. I haven’t heard any more from the church yet; hopefully things are under control.
