Bishop Robbed By Gunmen During Church Service

Bishop Lamor Miller-Whitehead the leader and founder of Tomorrow International Ministries in New York has accounted how armed robbers stormed the church auditorium to rob the church.

A video sighted by Soiree news captured a New York City bishop robbed at gunpoint in the middle of his Sunday sermon.

According to Bishop Lamor Miller-Whitehead, the service was being live-streamed when three to four men walked in with guns.

Bishop Whiteheadaccounted to CBS New York that just over five minutes into the sermon at his Brooklyn church, he saw a door in the back of the room kicked open and at least three men walk in with guns

“As I got down, one went to my wife and took all her jewelry and had the gun in front of my 8-month-old baby’s face,” Whitehead told the outlet. “Took off my bishop’s ring, my wedding band, and took off my bishop’s chain, and then I had chains underneath my robe and he started tapping my neck to see if anything else.”

According to the New York Police Department, three “unidentified individuals entered the location, displayed firearms, and demanded property from the 44-year-old male pastor and his38-year-old wife. The individuals removed more than $1 million worth of jewelry from the two victims.”

The church’s live-streamed service shows Whitehead preaching about faith and death, then falling to the ground after apparently seeing the armed people enter the church.

 “They had guns on my deacons that were at the door,” Whitehead told the outlet.

Whitehead said about 100 congregants were in the room and that men, women, and children dropped to the floor in silence.
