'Miracle' claims as bibles are left touched by fire at New Apostolic Church
After a devastating fire destroyed the New Apostolic Church Towerby in Johannesburg, the congregation is left in shock as holy communion chalices and bibles remain untouched. The church calls for unity in prayer as they navigate the aftermath.
The New Apostolic Church Towerby in Johannesburg suffered a devastating fire on Tuesday, August 25. The blaze left the church building completely destroyed and condemned, rendering it unusable. Miraculously, the church reports that the sacred items within - the holy communion chalices and bibles - remained untouched by the flames.
No injuries were reported in the incident. In a statement, the church expressed deep sorrow over the loss of their place of worship. They informed congregants that all planned activities for the week had been cancelled. However, the leadership team is actively working on arrangements for Sunday's divine service with the Apostle.
The church asks for collective prayer for the congregation and their District Apostle, whose decision will determine the congregation's housing situation going forward.
