Tornado Spares Church, Community Rallies

0:00In EF-2 tornado tore through Ottawa, Kansas on April 13th, ribbing the roof right off transformation church. Security cameras caught the whole brutal moment as chunks flew away. But the real miracle? No one was inside the building when it hit Monday night. That timing was everything. The place was packed Sunday night for service at the exact same hour the storm rolled in. So Pastor Greg Hall's first words were pure gratitude. No. Injuries. No lives lost. Hall's walking through the wreckage now, showing how the kids area took the worst hit, with the nursery basically gone, but the community stepping up fast. Other pastors hit him up within an hour, ready to lend hands and hearts. Damage scattered everywhere, play sets twisted in fences, roof pieces across fields. Still, they're locked in for service this Sunday. Location TBD. Preaching on God's goodness amid the mess and ways to help neighbors hit hard too. More storms barrel through Tuesday night, so clean ups on hold to the survey Wednesday.

1:00Hall's vibe is steady, walking it out with faith, one day at a time. Church standing stronger than the bricks. You've been listening to Kansas News today, AI-powered local news.
