A church fire in West Virginia left firefighters stunned when they found Bibles untouched by the flames.
Early Sunday morning, the Coal City Fire Department responded to a fire at the Freedom Ministries Church in Grandview, a town in the mountains of West Virginia.

But the firefighters said not a single Bible was burned. Not a single cross was harmed. Not a single firefighter was hurt.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Though odds were against us, God was not," the firefighters said, offering prayers for the pastor and congregation.
And in a Facebook post, Freedom Ministries wrote that "in the midst of the smoke you can see Jesus. He was there with us!"
The congregation views it as a time to rally together and give back.
