78-year-old Tennessee woman robbed while praying in church
A 78-year-old Tennessee woman was robbed while she was praying at church News Channel 5 Nashville reported. The woman was at the Hilldale Baptist Church on Feb. 9 when she was approached by two women according to Clarksville police department. After a quick conversation, one of the women asked to pray with her. Then while they were praying, the other woman went through the woman’s purse and took her wallet.
“Our church member reaches into her purse and picks up her wallet and just thinks that feels funny, feels different, which is remarkable and so but she opens it up her cash is gone or credit cards are gone and she realizes then she’s been robbed,” senior pastor Larry Robertson told the news station.
Robertson said the police have released the surveillance video and other church members said they remember seeing the women the Sunday before the crime took place.
“It is so disappointing and shocking when it happens in a church building to a senior adult widow, lady who just came to church early to pray that’s hard to swallow,” Robertson said.
Police said there was a group of four women in total inside the church with the victim. Three of them were seen on security cameras at a Sam’s Club where the victim’s credit card was used not long after the theft.
“My prayer is that if I had the opportunity to encounter them again, that I would be faithful to and kind enough to them to share the gospel with them in hopes that they would trust Christ as their Savior,” Robertson said.
