Salem First Baptist Church Destroyed By Tornado

»  Comments | Post a Comment

Pastor Kendra Jacobs lives in Phenix City Alabama and she says when she got a phone call about her church being destroyed by a tornado, she says she thought it was not as bad as the caller described.

Jacobs says she was devistated when she arrived to the church but at the same time she was grateful it was not Sunday when everyone was partaking in church service.

"This is something that you see on television but nothing that you've ever experienced," she says.

"Just to see all around to just look at all the different parts of the church and things that are still standing the things that are gone away, one of the things that has caught my attention is that in the choir stand, we have that picture of the praying hands. It's still there and so it gives confirmation to me to continue to pray that everything's gonna be alright."

Pastor Jacobs has been at the church for 2 years now. She says the church was supposed to have it's 162nd anniversary in a couple of weeks. Jacobs says regardless of where they will be on that week, they will still celebrate the church's anniversary.
