A tornado devastated a church building in Paducah, Kentucky last week, tearing off the entire roof and ravaging the majority of the inside.
But miraculously, the 10 staff members and 40 preschool children inside Mt. Zion Baptist Church remained unscathed despite the destruction swirling around them. Amazingly, the only room inside the church that was left untouched by the vicious tornado was the room where the kids and staff were taking shelter.
According to a report by the Baptist Press, the children were singing “Jesus Loves Me” and “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” while the tornado tore through the roof and rooms surrounding them. Undoubtedly, God was holding the world and their precious lives in their hands at that very moment.
Church members are praising God for His obvious divine intervention in what could have been a deadly encounter with Mother Nature.
“We just give God the glory that no one was hurt,” said Mt. Zion Baptist Church member Sylvia Cherry.
