PRAY FOR SUTHERLAND SPRINGS BAPTIST CHURCH

Early reports indicate that 20-24 members of Sutherland Springs Baptist Church were shot and killed during their Sunday service, Nov. 5. SBTC personnel are in the area and reaching out to the church but for now, we’re asking you to pray.

SBTC Executive Director Jim Richards made the following statement early Sunday afternoon:

“We’re calling our churches to prayer for our brothers and sisters in Sutherland Springs. We don’t know the details yet but early reports indicate that several people have lost their lives in this tragedy. We will have chaplains available to SSBC and will find ways to support this dear church. We pray God’s mercy and comfort on those who are grieved and those who are wounded.”
