Pastor Calls For Help To Rebuild Church

The leader of a church group in Labasa is calling on its members and stakeholders to help them rebuild their burned church.

The Shiloh Tabernacle Christian Fellowship Church, located opposite the Labasa Hospital in the Naiyaca subdivision, was destroyed in a fire on January 21, this year.

The first section of the building was completely destroyed in the fire, however the fire crew was able to save the second section of the church.

Pastor Kamla Prasad said: “After the fire, our members have faced a lot of challenges since the temporary shed set up on the church compound is not able to withstand the heavy rain and extreme heat inside,” the pastor said.

“I am also urging the National Fire Authority and Police to provide a report soon on the cause of fire since the trustees and members of the church are wanting to know the truth.”
