A South Carolina church group narrowly escaped a harrowing ordeal in Israel, finding refuge in bomb shelters amid Iranian counterstrikes before their safe return to the U.S.
A group of 41 members of a South Carolina church safely returned to the United States earlier this week after being stranded in Israel due to the Iranian counterstrikes.
Charles Timmerman, assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel, told The Christian Post that the group traveled back to the U.S. after taking a bus from Israel to Jordan.
“Our faith in God is the most important thing in our lives, and we are just deeply grateful to our God and our Lord Jesus Christ, and then for the prayers that have come in from across the country,” said Timmerman. “People have stepped up, and we are very deeply grateful.”
He added that he was “very grateful for all the support from our local politicians,” as the church was “directly in contact with” the offices of Republican U.S. Sens. Tim Scott and Lindsey Graham
