While a fire burned a West Virginia church to ashes early Sunday morning, the Word of God within it remained.
Freedom Ministries of Grandview, West Virginia was set ablaze at 1 a.m. Sunday, but their Bibles were left nearly untouched by the flames.
Firefighters dispatched from the Coal City Fire Department had to back out of the devastating fire at a certain point because it was too hot — so they were in complete awe when they later saw what items had survived the tragedy.
“On March 3 around 12:58 [a.m.] our department was dispatched to assist Beaver VFD with a structure fire at the Freedom Ministries Church, located in Grandview WV,” wrote the Coal City Fire Department on Facebook. “Though odds were against us, God was not.”
Picture this, a building so hot that at one point in time, firefighters had to back out. In your mind, everything should be burned, ashes. Not a single [B]ible was burned and not a single cross was harmed!! Not a single firefighter was hurt! Prayers for the pastor and the congregation today.”
