Arson Investigators Seek Three Men Who May Have Burned Down Ten Churches in Texas

The Christian Broadcast Network website reports today that arson investigators are searching for three men in connection with several church fires in east Texas. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms has released sketches of the three persons of interest in the case.

Ten churches have been burned down during the past six weeks; however, that is not keeping congregations from worshiping.

"And now we feel that God wants us to really do the work that His church ought to be doing -- loving, sharing, and caring for our community and our world," said Pastor John E. Green of Lake Athens Baptist Church. He added, "And we certainly look forward to the day when they no longer are free to burn churches."

Church members across east Texas are volunteering around the clock to keep watch over their buildings.
