News of 3 year old Kienan Hebert’s abduction touched many of the residents of BC. On Saturday September 10th, Ron Rutley the pastor of the Hebert family held a special service at Sparwood Fellowship Baptist Church. That night Kienan was safely returned home by his abductor. The following is an excerpt from Rutley’s sermon:
“So while God did not cause this, He is still sovereign over this. God can take something as horrific as Kienan’s abduction, something as terrible as every parents’ nightmare and sweep this awful event up into His own purpose so that good will come of it. But we might never know the reason why, this side of eternity. It might be that a generation yet to come will look back at the events of this past week and see the reason behind them. But we can’t, we are too close to them. So all we can do is trust in God’s purpose. Trust that the Great King will take these awful circumstances and bend them to his good and gracious will.”
