Accident

We had a big accident happen at the church in Santo Amaro, Palmas Tocantins Brazil, on November 14th. The church is constructing the classrooms on the second floor. This will provide the structure to cover the roof, so that the concrete floor stops leaking. One of the walls that was recently laid fell onto a Cyber Café. A very strong storm came by and blew the wall over. We are very THANKFUL to God, that no one was injured or killed in this accident, as the Cyber Café was empty at the time of the storm.

This left the church in a terrible financial situation. The wall fell through the roof of the Cyber Café and onto seven computers, monitors, stabilizers, chairs etc. The rain ruined a lot of the electronic items amounting to R$8157.56 or in dollars $4,826.96 Since the church doesn’t take in enough money to pay this damage, and to help avoid a lawsuit we are asking anyone or church that could help out the church of Santo Amaro in Palmas with these costs .

Anyone wanting to help the church with a donation can send it to the following address with a note that says Help Santo Amaro Church.

Here is the address:

Churches of God General Conference

Thank you so much.
