The good Lord protected his flock last night. WLBT reported:
A local congregation is celebrating Saturday after they say God protected them from a man who allegedly went on a Friday night crime spree in south Jackson.
“It was the Lord... It had to be,” said Apostle Clayton Cowart. “You look at all of the individuals who were shot who he made contact with, and this one elder was spared… That’s nothing but the grace of God.”
Clayton was leading a tent revival on Monticello Drive when Jaden Hill allegedly pulled into the parking lot, got out of a stolen car, and held up Elder Ronnie Upshaw at gunpoint.
He said Hill demanded money but fled after Upshaw said he had nothing to offer him but the word of God.
Upshaw, a pastor and elder from Gainesville, was working security outside the tent....
The theme for the evening’s service was “Lord help us, a crazy man is in town.”...
Hill’s crime spree allegedly began with a triple robbery and homicide in the 3200 block of Lynch Street and ended with a police shootout on Cooper Road. On the way, police say Hill shot a woman at the Ellis Avenue Burger King and carjacked another person before he was spotted by officers in Precinct One.
Hill allegedly fired on the officers, but officers returned fire sending Hill to the hospital. Rest of article and video.

'The theme for the evening’s service was “Lord help us, a crazy man is in town.” '
This has such potential. For every rally, visit of the Father in Law, Neshoba County Fair speech, concert, or speech by an outsider.
Still trying to figure out if the reporter is gullible, an intern typed this, or, God hep us, it's true.
If he was "working security" Upshaw should have capped his ass and saved the other victims.
Did he mean the “crazy man” as in the mayor?
Asking for many friends.
Seems to me I've met more Pastors working other jobs, like security and police work, where they may have to take a life. Never really understood that frame of mind.
