Joint Statement of the
Southern California Chinese Baptist Association
and the
Chinese Baptist Fellowship of the US and Canada
It is with shock and great sadness that we witness the tragedy of 10 innocent lives being lost and many wounded in a senseless fit of rage by an individual in Monterey Park, California. Our condolences to the families who have lost loved ones. These are troubled times we live in. Let us stand with our community and reach out to the families with the love and hope that we have in Jesus Christ.
Let’s unite our hearts together to pray:
- For families who have lost their loved ones that they will be comforted
- For the wounded that they will have a speedy recovery
- For those affected that faith would overcome fear
- For our community that it will know the love and reconciliation of Christ
- For our churches that we will know how to reach out to those who are hurt, be a people of peace, be in constant prayer for the neighborhoods and communities we are living in and be faithful in sharing the eternal hope that can be found only in Jesus.
