Rick Warren has issued a call for prayers Sunday as a brushfire consumed 2 acres of Saddleback Church’s main campus. Authorities have reported that the fire, which ignited near the church’s parking lot, has been contained, and a suspect is now in custody.
Warren, the founder of Saddleback Church who retired from the pulpit in 2022, took to social media to ask the community of believers for support after the brushfire started around 1 p.m. local time on Sunday, near the Portola and Rancho Parkways, and rapidly spreading toward adjacent roads.
“Please pray: 2 acres of Saddleback Church have already been consumed by wildfire as of this moment. It’s our main campus (out of 20) in Lake Forest, a few weeks ago, we had a week of wildfires in our backyard, now this. So far, no buildings have been in danger. The Lake Forest campus is 120 acres — about half are parking lots,” Warren wrote on X. More Here
