The faithful of Deliverance Church in Elburgon are counting loss after musical instruments and other items were stolen from their sanctuary on Wednesday, December 27.

Presiding pastor John Thuo Gitonga confirmed the incident revealing the stolen items were valued at upward of KSh 350,000.

"They told me that robbers had broken into the church and made away with church instruments, which we estimate to be worth over KSh 350,000. The guard was patrolling the compound when he saw a group of men who, after noticing him approaching them, fled into the darkness," the pastor told Nation.africa.

The thugs left behind other items after the guard on duty appeared.

Among the items stolen from the church were a digital mixer, two amplifiers and a keyboard.

The matter was booked with the police, who are tracing the thieves.

They gained access to the church through the window they broke.

Despite the incident, the faithful remained upbeat ahead of the crossover prayers to welcome the new year 2024.

Praying for the thugs was suggested as a prayer item.
