cbs11tv.com - Thieves Strike Fort Worth Church For The Deaf
The New Life Deaf Fellowship Church in east Fort Worth provides a place of worship for 125 hearing disabled people across North Texas.
Today they're wondering why a thief would target them.
Pastor Aric Randolph's storage shed used to be full of lawn equipment and tools for volunteers. But thieves broke in and took it all. $2500 worth.
Now church members are hoping for an insurance check.
Randolph says there's only so much the church can do. "Where there's a will there's a way," he told us, in sign language. "If people want to break in they're going to. What can we do? We can do nothing. I can't sleep here, can't watch it all the time. If it happens it happens."
And it did happen again Wednesday night.
This time the thieves used a bathroom window to get inside the church.
They left behind plenty of valuables, but walked away with money. $400 in donated change that was going to go toward building a worship garden. "It was about half full of pennies, nickels, quarters, dollar bills," Randolph said.
Despite the break-ins, Pastor Randolph and his members say their faith will prevail. "What bothers me the most is someone broke into the church building. But we know that God will take care of us, he will provide, he will help us. Then we're okay. He helps us."
