A pastor who works in a church in the United States of America (USA) has lamented a sharp drop in the number of people coming to worship.
The cleric said he noticed that there was no longer a crowd of people coming to the worship center located in North Columbus, Ohio.
In a story shared on YouTube by ABC6, the pastor, Samuel Cumson said some of his church members are now afraid of being deported by the US Immigration and Customise Enforcement (ICE).
According to the story, there was as much as a 50% drop in the number of people coming to worship at the Church of the Pentecost, USA Inc.
Cumson also said his church was in the habit of giving food to members but now, there was no one to eat the food they were cooking.
He said: “It is really painful to see. The state gives us food to give to them. The community come, those who are not even members would come and take the food. Now, we put the food out there and they are not coming. What we can do now is to pray.”
