City of Deliverance Worship Center in Houston depends on its vans to deliver over 1,500 meals to hungry children and their families across Houston each day. They are now left wondering where their next meal will come from because thieves stole the church's van. It was all caught on camera. FOX 26's Sherman Desselle spoke with the pastor for more info.
The white Ford van, used to deliver meals to school children and their families, was stolen from the City of Deliverance Worship Center on Sunday. Security cameras captured the moment two men walked onto the lot and broke into the van on the 6700 block of West Bellfort Avenue. Pastor Carl Johnson, who has been serving his community for nearly 30 years, said the theft is a major setback for the church's at-risk program."We try to make sure that every kid has a meal," Johnson said. "We go into apartments, community centers, churches. When I was a kid, I knew what it was like to not have food.
In 2021, their first white Ford van was stolen from the lot and never found. In 2022, their Ford Explorer was broken into and stolen. Houston police found it not too far away with the catalytic converter stripped. Thieves stole the converter from the newest Ford van months ago. While it was repaired, that didn't stop someone from stealing it this past Sunday. . They also delivered meals to after-school programs in districts located outside the city.
