In an incident which Christians called an “amazing sign,” a Bible was left unscathed after militants firebombed a church in Kyrgyzstan, reports Release International.
The Evangelical Christian Baptist church in the northeastern town of Kaji-Say was doused with gasoline and set on fire in the early morning of January 3, 2018. Radicals threw Molotov cocktails through the windows of the empty church which started the blaze.
The Christians said the Bible was left open at the altar after their fellowship. Seeing it undamaged after the fire encouraged them to remain strong in their faith.
The fire was so intense it caused extensive damage to the church. The pews were burned down, but before the flames reached the altar, firefighters were able to control the fire.
Officials reported that there were still several bottles of gasoline around the church that failed to ignite.
