Los Angeles-area Christians shine as wildfires burn homes and churches

β€œOne of the windstorms blew, and it was like a fireball, and it blew straight toward me. All I could do was just back up, and that was it. I had to get out of there.”

Eon Walk β€” chief financial officer for the Pasadena Church of Christ, also known as the Kinneloa congregation β€” recounted her experience trying to enter the Southern California church building as the Eaton Fire encroached.

She wanted to save the building blueprints and grab a fire extinguisher to stop a nearby bush fire from spreading. But she returned home empty-handed.
