CBN News Joins Rescued Astronaut 'Butch' Wilmore as He Celebrates at Church

PASADENA, Texas – This Sunday's service at Providence Baptist Church in Pasadena, Texas, was anything but ordinary. It was a celebration—one of their own had finally come home.

After spending nine months stranded in space, Elon Musk's Space X rescued the stranded Astronaut Barry "Butch" Wilmore who was finally able to reunite with his wife, two daughters and church family.

"It's great to know that he's here, that he's safely here," said Pastor Tommy Dahn.

Wilmore has been resting following last week's 17-hour return journey to Earth alongside fellow astronaut Suni Williams. During his 286 days aboard the International Space Station, Wilmore relied heavily on his faith.

"My feeling on all of this goes back to my faith," Wilmore said. "It's bound in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is working out His plans, His purposes for His glory throughout all humanity."
