Bible survives a second fire at Wisconsin church





Members of a Wisconsin church that burned down said they have reason to remain thankful — their church’s original Bible survived its second fire.

Tim O’Brien, pastor at Springs United Methodist Church in Plover, said firefighters recovered the church’s original antique Bible from the debris after a fire destroyed the building.

O’Brien said the Bible had been kept in a display case at the church after it survived a fire at St. Paul’s Methodist Church in Stevens Point in the 1950s.

“This bible has survived two fires, in two different churches,” O’Brien told WSAW-TV.

“We can’t open it anymore because of its age, but I think it’s a great testament to our faith that still stands strong.”

“I think this is really something special, truly a work of God,” he said.

Firefighters in West Virginia said earlier this month that a destructive fire at Freedom Ministries Church in Grandview destroyed almost everything inside the building, save for about a dozen Bibles.
