On the weekend, six thieves broke into a sermon at a Seventh-day Adventist Church in the heart of Johannesburg.
The church's live streaming camera caught the moment when the preacher saw the gunmen come in.
The church said that the people who went there were robbed at gunpoint.
Elders of the church wrote on its platforms that a counseling service for its members would be held on Sunday, and they also said words of comfort.
"The church wants to use this chance to tell you that this too will end. The old people said, "Nothing lasts forever."
"As leaders, we are praying for the church to stick together and help each other morally and practically in times like these."
