The Lake Charles Fire Department is continuing to investigate an arson attempt and vandalism that took place at New Shiloh Baptist Church on May 22. “For a person to do something like that, they don’t care about God," Zachary Modest, a longtime church member said. Modest recounts the moment he walked into the church and noticed the damage. “I seen these two windows knocked out and I said that’s odd so I backed up and called the pastor," Modest said. “When we got in the church to check it out, we found a 5-gallon bucket down here on the floor and two rolls of toilet tissue, where someone had tried to start a fire.” This isn’t the first time the New Shiloh congregation has had to deal with the setback of a fire. In 2010, an electrical fire, according to Pastor Barry Thomas caused widespread damage to their sanctuary when the church was located on 5th Avenue.
