A pastor and his wife were robbed while the former was delivering his sermon at a Brooklyn church. They were robbed at gunpoint of more than $1 million worth of jewellery. The robbery was caught on a live stream video of the service. 

Lamor M. Whitehead, 44, a bishop at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries called the robbery an example of “how the devil moves.” The video has been removed from the church's live stream. The robbers who arrived in a white car interrupted the service 5- 10 minutes after it had begun.

In the video, the pastor can be seen saying 'All right, all right, all right' as he raised his hands and lowered himself to the floor. "Took off my bishop's ring, my wedding band and took off my bishop chain, and then I had chains underneath my robe, and he starts tapping my neck to see if (there was) anything else -- so that means they knew, they watched and they knew that I have other jewellery," Whitehead told CNN. 

"These men, they need to turn themselves in," Whitehead said. "I forgive you and I'm praying for you, and I hope that God deliver you from the mindset of who you are at this time."
