TN Church Holds Worship Service One Week After Pastor Thwarts Gunman’s Violent Plans

November 17, 2021 by Staff

Last weekend (Nov. 7), pastor Ezekiel Ndikumana tackled a man with a loaded handgun who took the stage at Nashville Light Mission Pentecostal Church intent on shooting the congregants.

Nevertheless, the incident, which could have resulted in bloodshed and a tragic loss of life, didn’t stop the Nashville church from holding their worship gathering this past Sunday.

Ndikumana applauded those in attendance on Sunday, sharing that “God gave them the strength again to come back to our Sunday service this morning.”

Choir member Nzojibugami Noe shared with WKRN News what was going through his mind as the 26-year-old gunman, Dezire Beganda, began threatening the lives of his fellow congregants. Noe’s 911 call amid the commotion can be heard here.
