“The man just blew up into a fire ball,” Kirtley told reporters. “I surely don’t know if he was electrocuted or even alive.”
Even though the thieves appear to have learned their lesson, the church is working with local authorities to locate and prosecute the thieves.
The church cancelled all of their Wednesday services and activities since they were without power. They’ve rented a generator to prepare for Sunday services.
“We can start the generator for eight hours only to minimize expenses,” Kirtley said. “Our [insurance] deductible is $5,000. This robbery is going to cost the church a lot.”
Last year, Westway Baptist Church was victim to two other robberies when two of the air conditioners were stolen.

I m sure the thieves saw the ‘light’…..however if its so expensive to run the generator why don t they just make this the perfect time to get out in the community and spred the word?…..or find some elderly people in the community and help clean up their homes for christmas..see what families are in need so instead of giving gifts to each other give to the needy not the greedy!!!!!! O I forgot that would mean they would not be taking up a collection or the people may forget to pay their tithes…..basically Im sure they could do more OUTSIDE the church anyway

Hallelujah! Churches are fighting back now by installing cameras on their property. This is great! If you cannot afford this type of security or something similar to it, then you should not be owning property these days. As well, if the property (apartment, home,etc) you are currently renting does not have a camera, ask your landlord about this. If nothing is done, you probably should try to make plans to move as soon as you can. Satan is just too busy. And thankfully SOME of these thugs are being caught in the act!
Like the pope and his bullet proof pope mobile, shows the lack of faith you really have.
The church needs power to have their services? Oh dear.
