Theft at Udon Baptist Church: $1500 Worth of Equipment Stolen
Last night the church in Udon Thani was broken into. Jahnet Sims and Tracey Burdette noticed the front door to the church opened as they went to clean Saturday morning. After entering the sanctuary, they found scattered sheet music on the floor in place of the piano. Items stolen included the church piano, sound system, speakers and microphones recently replaced after the burglary in February. The losses from the break-in total about $1500US. After filing a police report and paying a small “police fee,” we hired a team of policemen to investigate and try to recover the stolen items. We spent the evening in prayer for those who were involved in the crime, and for ourselves… that we would have the proper attitude towards the situation. Satan tries to set us back at every turn, yet our Lord is mightier! Praise God that these are only material things, and the souls of the Thai people who have placed their trust in Jesus Christ can never be stolen nor plucked out of the hands of our almighty God.
“…Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” – Matt. 5:44
