More than three years after hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated the Caribbean island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), church members at Road Town Church gathered to witness the demolition of their church building, which was severely damaged by the storms. It was their church home for 40 years.
“The second floor of the church was destroyed,” Sylvester Williams, who leads the congregation, said. “The integrity of the remaining structure was compromised and, as a result, plans to expand were aborted, and rebuilding plans evolved.”
Since the powerful storms struck the island, the congregation of 183 has been meeting on the campus of the British Virgin Islands Adventist School, which also sustained damage but was repaired.
