A fire destroyed Balsora Baptist Church in Bridgeport, Texas, on Friday, June 17th. The cause of the fire is still being determined, but it was strong enough to collapse the roof of the church while firefighters battled the blaze.
“A symbol that the building was just that, a building. The church is an assembly, and where two or more gather, there it will be. ”
The fire company suggested the fire was caused by extreme heat in the region, where last week temperatures rose to 100F.
“Thank you very much for your mutual assistance, once again.
“Extreme temperatures do not impose resources and labor on such events.
“Churches also pose a danger due to the large space of shrines and large halls, which makes them very prone to collapse.”

The injured rescuers were treated at local hospitals, and are expected to recover.
A prayer meeting was held at the church on Sunday.
On Facebook, those gathered celebrated the cross, which is still preserved.
“The cross that held our prayer request in the sanctuary was still standing!
“We praise God that He is still answering prayers. We look forward to everything He will do at Balsora Baptist !!! ‘ Said the church leaders.
