Imagine leaving Sunday morning worship and finding that, as you worshiped, someone broke into your car — or stole it. That’s what happened to members of the Northside Church of Christ in Wichita, Kan. During the church’s Oct. 3 worship — sometime between 10 and 10:30 a.m. — Wichita police received a call that several cars had been broken into in the church parking lot. And one was missing entirely. A Lutheran church in the area also reported auto break-ins, WIBW.com reports.

Church members in Ghana say their prayers were answered after three Christians, accused of playing a role in the death of a minister, were exonerated.

Christians in Africa and the U.S. seek prayers for three members of a Church of Christ in Ghana who were arrested in connection with a July 4 drowning following a baptism there. The drowning happened July 4, said Christopher Arthur, minister for a Church of Christ in Swedru, a city west of the capital, Accra. Derick Ayensu, a church member in Swedru, was visiting a congregation in the nearby village of Mensakrom. After the worship service, two men asked to be baptized. Church members took them to the edge of a river. High rainfall in late June caused flooding in Swedru and knocked out bridges in the city. It also made the rivers that flow through the region dangerous.
