The pastor of a church in rural Virginia said his congregation is undeterred after vandals destroyed their building on Easter Sunday, smashing in windows and spray-painting the walls with sacrilegious words.
While Pastor Clarence Blevins said the attack on Konnarack Baptist Church left members devastated, he made clear it wouldn’t stop them from sharing the Gospel with their community in Washington County.
“It’s not going to stop us,” Blevins, a longtime member of the church, told WCYB-TV of the vandalism. “We’re going to keep lifting [Jesus] up and serving Him the best we can.”
The preacher, bewildered by the out-of-the-blue vandalism, wondered “how anybody could be so cold” as to attack the congregation’s building, particularly on Easter Sunday.
