Pastor Easton Brooks of Increasing Faith Ministries Finds Church Vandalized

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- A DeKalb County pastor discovered vandals trashed the inside of his church.

Pastor Easton Brooks told Channel 2’s Darryn Moore that someone broke into Increasing Faith Ministries on Rainbow Circle and ransacked every room.

”Fax machines, computers, everything is totally gone. It’s a shame to see how people have no respect at all for the house of the Lord, Brooks said.

Brooks told Moore he isn’t sure if anything has been stolen, but he showed Moore where vandals destroyed the pulpit, smashed mirrors, knocked holes in the wall and destroyed the choir’s musical instruments.

A security guard working at the church oveight has disappeared, Brooks said. The pastor said he'd file a missing persons report for the guard if he didn't tu up on Friday.

”These are very expensive keyboards and they are totally ruined. I'm totally lost for words. I don’t know what to say, Brooks said.

Brooks is working in cooperation with DeKalb County police to find suspects. He told Moore he will continue to pray for the people who vandalized this church.
