Actress Melissa Joan Hart has been outspoken in recent years about the faith journey that has led her to find salvation in Jesus Christ. Now she’s speaking out about the importance of prayer after she suddenly found herself drawn directly into the tragic school shooting in Nashville.
As CBN’s Faithwire reports, Hart and her husband, Mark Wilkerson, were in their car on Monday when they noticed a group of kindergarteners running out of the woods, near The Covenant School, a private Christian school for Pre-K through sixth graders. The 46-year-old actor’s three children — ages 10, 15, and 17 — attend a school right next to Covenant.
“Luckily, we are all OK,” the celebrity tearfully explained in an Instagram post. “But we did — my husband and I were on our way to school for conferences — and luckily our kids weren’t in today. We helped a class of kindergartners across a busy highway”
