update 10:20pm by Dewey
KKIM NEWS IS CONTINUING TO COVER THE NEWS THAT THE ROOF OF HEIGHTS CHRISTIAN CHURCH WAS BLOWN OFF BY A MICRO BURST (WED) AT AROUND 6:30PM. I JUST RETURNED FROM THE SCENE WHERE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH HAD GATHERED FOR PRAYER.
INTERESTING THAT NO OTHER BUILDINGS OR HOMES IN THE AREA OF COMANCHE AND LOUISIANA REPORTED DAMAGES.
PEOPLE WHERE STOPPING BY TO OFFER THE CHURCH HELP
AS MANY OF YOU KNOW THIS IS A LARGE CHURCH BUILDING…….DAMAGES ARE HUGE.
UPDATE: 9:45 PM
Reporting live Dewey Moede says Pastor Mark Scales estimates 4 tons of roof material on the ground. The large playground equipment in the Children’s area is completely destroyed. It was a real miracle that no one was injured or killed. At 9:30 PM Wednesday people were coming from all over the area to offer assistance to Heights Christian Church. A large circle of people met to pray at Heights Christian Church. The community is responding to the needs of this congregation. Stay tuned to KKIM throughout the day Thursday for updates on this disaster.

URGENT PRAYER NEED: Heights Christian Church suffered a micro burst Wednesday night which picked up the roof of the church sanctuary and dumped it into another area of the property. A gas leak also resulted. It took the roof and deposited it in the children’s playground and on the education wing. A youth group was on the church parking lot at the time and heard what seemed like thunder but it was the noise of the roof coming off. Praise God that there were no injuries resulted. Pastor Mark identified it as a miracle as no one was injured. Please pray for Pastor Mark Scales and the congregation at Heights Christian Church.
As of 9:00 PM Wednesday night the gas problem has been controlled. However, authorities are saying no one is allowed in the offices and the sanctuary area. The Day Care and Pre-school have been closed through Friday. The timing of the event was a blessing because no one was in the sanctuary at the time of the micro burst.
The “One Nation Under God” praying meeting scheduled for Friday, 7:00 PM at Heights Christian Church at the corner of Comanche and Louisiana is STILL ON. The Prayer meeting will be held in another part of the building.
Please remember the fellowship of believers at Heights Christian Church in your prayers.
