MOMBASA, KENYA (Worthy News)-- Three people were injured after a mob of about 10 assailants attacked worshipers at a church in Bamburi, Mombasa last week, according to All Africa Global Media.

The gang gained entry into the Bride of the Lamb International Ministries compound after they cut through an iron fence; after the assault, they fled to the adjacent Tower of Faith Church where they injured four others.

Bride of the Lamb International Ministries Chairman Michael Peter said that the attacks were intended to target the clergy.

"This is not the first time our ministry has been attacked," said Peter. "Over the past few weeks we have had attacks on our churches across the country including our residence here."

Peter said the ministry had reported the attacks numerous times to the Bamburi police station, but to date no action has been taken.
