The office equipment was badly damaged and the second floor sustained significant smoke damage. Water from the sprinkler system, while extinguishing the fire, caused significant water damage to much of the building and contents.
Please pray for our brothers and sisters as they work hard to clean up the building and salvage as much as they can. Pray for unity as they move forward and continue to be a light for Christ in this city.
