I attend the Universal Church in Prado, Santa Maria (Rio Grande do Sul – Brazil). I was one of the first people to go inside the place where families were identifying their families’ bodies. I managed to offer my condolences to many of the families of the victims.

It is very sad to see mothers crying. Most of them felt sick. Many mothers said they had not allowed their children to go to the nightclub, and yet they went anyway.

A former assistant, who one day fought the good fight, was also at the site. But today, she was one of the many bodies tossed on the floor. While we walked around, we had to be careful not to trip over them.

Once we were done helping out at the site, we went to the funerals of the former assistant and the former evangelist, which their families decided to have together. We are tirelessly praying for the families of these people.
