Gayle Anderson reports in addition to homeowners and businesses burned out by the Altdena wildfires, there are destroyed churches, among them Pastor Anthony McFarland’s Lift International Church of Altadena and Pasadena.

The pastor’s church and his home were completely gutted by the fire, but despite the devastation, the pastor, with the help of donations, is providing resources and financial support to other Altadena churches and victims.

In addition to all of this, the church has organized a special event this Friday, April 4th, from 6pm to 7:30pm, to update and inform Altadena homeowners:
