A pastor in Brooklyn was robbed while he was livestreaming a Mass service. 
Bishop Lamore Whitehead says three men dressed in black kicked down the door and robbed him and his wife at gunpoint. He says they also put a gun to his 8-month-old baby's head.
Miler says the thieves took off with jewelry worth thousands of dollars.
“Thank God I'm alive, my wife is alive, my children are alive. All of my church is alive. Everybody doesn't have that story, so you gotta take the bitter with the sweet,” Whitehead says. 
Police say they have no suspects.
