Tragedy at The Church in Sacramento

There was a tragic murder suicide last night during a “service or event” taking place at the church in Sacramento. The news report went like this: “there were other people in the Church in Sacramento at the time of the shooting but none were involved”.

5 people were killed. Father killed his 3 little girls. He then killed himself. The 5th person was either a church employee/worker or social worker

I googled 2041 Wyda Way Sacramento and it lists "Church in Sacramento"

A young teenage girl was briefly interviewed. Looked very much like an LC church kid. I do think the very sad and disturbing tragedy occurred at an LC church meeting hall.

Forum Members:
In respect to the mother of these dear children, and to all concerned,
let's all refrain from making any comments on this tragic event for the time being.
If the elders of the Church in Sacramento make a public statement,
then it would be appropriate to post here.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our affliction,
so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction,
with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
2 Corinthians 1:3,4

Oh Father of Mercies and God of all Comfort we implore you to grant our beloved sister and the family comfort and grace.
Lord Jesus, as the Prince of Peace, the Great Physician and Wounded Healer, grant our sister and the families and the Church in Sacramento your peace and healing.
Oh God, we ask that you send your Holy Spirit as the Comforter and Helper in this time of great tragedy and loss.

Amen. Words of prayer have been so hard for me to find. Your prayer was very anointed UntoHim. Thank you for expressing my and I’m sure everyone’s heartfelt sentiments.

I think I am still stunned. I can’t wrap my head around this tragedy. May the Lord our God comfort and come through for this mother, loved ones, classmates and friends of the children as well as the church in Sacramento.

Holy Spirit of Jesus and Father God, please guide and counsel them all especially the mother. Thank You Father for receiving our petitions.

May something good somehow, someway come out of this horrificly sad devastation.

The Church provided the following statement to one of the local news stations.

The leadership of The Church in Sacramento is shocked and saddened by the tragic shooting that occurred in our church meeting hall late Monday, February 28, resulting in the deaths of five of our members, including three young girls from one of our families.

Our church body is devastated and heartbroken by this senseless tragedy and we ask for continued prayer for the victims, their family and our faith community as we grapple with this unexpected loss and trust the Lord for His strength in our grief.

We continue to cooperate with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department in their investigation, are committed to ministering to anyone in need during this difficult time and are doing everything possible to provide comfort to our congregation as we come together as a church family

Nathaniel Kong, elder in Sacramento, was a true shepherd who laid down his life for his flock, the children of God. There was nothing easy about this perp, a violent abusive alcoholic, yet brother Kong preached the gospel to him, provided hospitality and counseling when his family broke up, and cared for his children so that he could see them under supervised care. No one would consider this guy "good material," yet he received unconditional love when he deserved none.

"May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day! And in how many things he served in Sacramento, you know very well." 2 Tm 1.18

I keep checking this website, Articles @ ShepherdingWords.Com, for some expression of care, concern, support, anything, for the Church in Sacramento. You would think that if ever there were a need for a few kind words from the LSM “shepherds”, it’s now.

Maybe they are helping out behind the scenes.

It seems they are keeping it more private out of respect for the family. There was a memorial service recently in Sacramento for br. Kong.

Is he Jonathan Kong’s brother?

I do not know who that is, sorry - I doubt they are related though.

It is such a tragedy for the family. May the Lord shepherd the family through this loss.

Nathaniel was Jonathan's youngest child. And was one of the elders in Sacramento. He initially met the family outside a Walmart during a Bible distribution. Nathaniel and other saints shepherded the family for five years.

Rick Scatterday, and mental health professionals in the church provided counseling for four night. Each night to a different group. There was a online memorial in which Minoru addressed Sacramento and the surrounding Churches. He also spoke at the live memorial for the last 15 minutes this past Saturday. I attached the link. Minoru begins speaking at 3:59:00
