The All Nations Church located in Mission was the victim of vandalism for the second time this year.
Sometime over the weekend of June 25 the All Nations Church, managed by Pastor Johnny Wade and his wife Heidi Wade, was broken into by assailants unknown.
The vandals kicked in the east door and proceeded to ransack the church. Pastor Wade’s office was torn apart as the thieves were looking for valuables. The only items actually stolen were an office computer and some hammers.
The vandals mostly tore apart the food pantry, spreading food through out the kitchen area and poking holes in food supplies and drinking bottles.
These food supplies are used to feed parishioners and their children that come to attend service.
The All Nations Church provides service for adults and Sunday school for the children. They also have a very large playground set up outside that is open to the public.
Pastor Wade and his wife at the time of the vandalism were out on the road raising money for their church.
Not only do they have to pay for damages from the break in but also the basement flooded to due heavy rains.
Local businesses have been targets for vandals for sometime now but recently places of worship have come under attack. From graffiti on walls to broken windows. All the owners can do is take precautions to prevent forceful entrance into their buildings, like stronger doors, harder locks and possibly barred windows.
