I am the daughter of a pastor of the Universal Church.

I was practically “born” in the Church. However, this didn’t stop me from becoming worldly and not wanting anything with God.

I often fell away.

I slept with several men and had no desire to go to Church.

Attend meetings? No way!

After being in Church for 18 years, I still did not know God, the God that my father preached, the God I heard other pastors talk about. For me, it was all nonsense, an illusion, a bummer.

That year, I became a single mother. Later, I married my daughter’s father. But amid so many arguments, we separated. I went through a lot during this period, I cried a lot. But, like they say, you find God when you hit rock bottom. I hit rock bottom and, thank God, I found Him.

I rejected the opportunity to know Him without suffering. After all, a pastor’s daughter has the “privilege” of knowing and having the best thing in this world without suffering.

I rejected this privilege, what a shame!

Now, every day, I thank God for not giving up on me, even though I saddened Him so much with my actions. Even though I made so many mistakes so many times, He extended His hand to me.

The God of the Universal Church is a God of greatness, a plentiful life, abundance and quality in all areas.

How many people have I had the opportunity to meet, who arrived with nothing, not even enough to eat, and now they have their own home, car, business, a close family…

There are so many wonders and miracles that happen at the Universal Church!

Therefore:

I, Nathalia de Barros, AM THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH!
