Its all praise in Kentucky, has church members survives tornado which destroyed their main sanctuary last Wednesday.
A series of storms has devastated several states with tornadoes, heavy rain, and flooding. In the aftermath, members of a Kentucky church are thanking God no one was hurt when a powerful twister destroyed their main sanctuary at a time when the building would have been full of people.
“We canceled that night because of the storms,” Pastor Tim Turner of Christ Community Church Paducah, Kentucky, told CBN News as tornado destroys church building. “It is the first time in my 35 years of pastoring that we’ve ever done that.”
“We just feel like that was an act of God,” Turner added. “If you look at all these blocks, it was a block wall, 18 feet high, and it all fell, and the roof caved in too, and I doubt there would’ve been any survivors. So we’re not mourning today; we’re praising God.”

Lindsay Stanley, a member of Christ Community Church, said;
“But we had a feeling like we should just stay home. And then Pastor Tim actually decided to cancel services and we never canceled services,” she says.
“Actually, when we got the call that the church was gone, we were in the closet because the tornado had literally just gone past over our house… It was me, my husband, and our two daughters, literally in the closet with helmets on and everything. It was that like this thing’s coming,” Stanley recalls.
“I truly believe that what looks like a setback is actually a setup. Like the Lord knows that we have been very faithful, I say all the time. When I first started going to that church about four years ago, the Lord told me this is the End Times army. My dad was actually healed in that church, a stage four cancer. We’ve had so many cancer healings and just amazing moves of the Holy Spirit,” she explained.
“And I truly believe he knows that we needed a bigger place because we were outgrowing that sanctuary, and we thought it would be years and years down the road. And I think he’s just like, you know what, let’s go a little quicker, and I’m going to help,” she continues.
“I truly believe that we are going to need the space to house more broken, lost people because our church is serious about evangelism.”
