🙏 THANKSGIVING FOR THE SURVIVORS OF MV MATUI 🙏

This morning, three survivors of the MV Matui tragedy came to Transfigaration church at Banban to give thanks to God for the gift of life and for His protection over them. 🙏

It was truly a blessing and a joyful moment to hear their stories and to see them standing before us today. We give thanks to God for saving their lives and carrying them through such a difficult and traumatic experience.

At the same time, as the nation continues to mourn with the families who lost their loved ones in this tragic disaster, we pray that God will comfort every grieving family, strengthen the survivors, and bring peace to all who are carrying sorrow in their hearts.

May the memories of those we have lost remain forever in our hearts, and may the souls of those who died rest in peace with God. 🙏🕊️

🙏 Let us continue to pray for the survivors, the families, and our entire community.
