Nonetheless, the man of God is grateful that fire fighters were swift in their response but couldn’t give more details about the incident as he was still in the dark.
“We thank God that we quickly came in with our fire extinguishers and that the Fire Department acted in time. We believe the police and all investigating agencies will take up this matter seriously so that the people involved face the full arm of the law,” he said.
Bushiri is hopeful for a better tomorrow despite finding a side of his church in shambles. He says the church will pray that the perpetrators are found and shamed. In that same breath took the chance to fire some shot at the media.
“As a church, we will continue in prayer, asking God to keep protecting us and, also, to shame and expose those who want to destroy the church He built. I have been persecuted - together with my church - and survived their bullets and cheap media propaganda. This too, shall pass [sic],” he concluded.
