On Tuesday night, the Washington church service was interrupted as the man broke in the altar, trying to hit the Reverend.
Livestraam shots show the moment when Joshua James Sommers ran toward Rev. David Gaines, the weapon was rocking.
Gaines managed to largely reject the attack, but took some goals.

“They called me athletic, all kinds of things I had never called before – but in happy ways,” Gaines told Fox News Digital in an interview on Friday.
Although he had no memories of the first Dodge, he said he was hit by subsequent shots on the left.
“He fell to the ground and I don’t know why I did it, but I helped him, and then he started swinging again with his left hand,” Gaines said. “I remember his left fist to come to his face and turned it over several times.”

Since the priest is 10 and a half years old, Gaines said he never experienced that kind Violence within the church.
Still, he remained calm.

“I don’t know, honestly, where it came from – maybe I could say the Holy Spirit,” he said. “I assumed there was a kind of mental illness because I had never seen this man in my life.”
Just a few seconds after Sommers was accompanied by the church, the community joined the prayer for him.
Sommers was not a member of the church, but was brought by his mother and son who noticed that he was living on the streets.
Gaines said that the authorities later informed him that Sommers was suffering from the bat.
“They approached me after the service and they immediately apologized to me, because they brought him,” Gaines said. “We had our first big snow here, so it was really cold, and they brought him because of this healing November, hoping it would help him.”
Even with everything that happened, Gaines said he was still glad Sommers was brought to worship.
Sommers was seen calmly sitting almost an hour before the turnout.

“I am grateful that they brought him, in God’s providence,” Gaines said. “Now he has come to healing November, and now he gets a ton of prayer. … God’s promise allows everything to happen. It doesn’t make evil things happen, but lets bad things happen for his greater glory for our salvation, salvation of souls and hopefully for the salvation of Josh. “
Gaines requested constant prayers for Sommers, who is now criminally charged with the incident.
“In God’s great mystery and plan, I am convinced that God will do something good for Josh, for our community and help us grow in healing,” he said. “Please pray for Josh. [We need to] Love those who are mentally ill as Christ commands. Part of that love is to offer prayers and sacrifices for him. “
