A Nigerian pastor's wife, Pastor (Mrs) Hellen Samuel, her three children, Saviour, Ensigne and Purity, were reportedly among at least eight victims who killed in an auto crash that happened Saturday night in Katagbegi village of Niger State.
The family of Pastor Abraham Samuel of the Potter's Porch Church, and the other passengers in the bus were said to be travelling from Lagos to Minna when the crash occurred at about 8 p.m. on Saturday, according to VANGUARD Media Limited in Nigeria.
Witnesses said the bus caught fire shortly after the accident, making rescue efforts extremely difficult, even though the bus was believed to be carrying 18 passengers at the time of the accident,
In a great show of faith, the Pastor who lost his family was seen preaching during yesterday's church service after which he announced the demise of his wife and three children.
Members of the church were said to have screamed at the news, with tears rolling down many cheeks uncontrollably, but the Pastor remained calm with elders of the church around him.
The calm but sober Pastor Samuel said of his dead family; "My wife and the kids are resting."
May their souls rest in perfect in Jesus name.
According to the Potter's Porch Church's official website, Pastor Abraham is the current resident Pastor of The Potters Porch Int’l churches Minna working under the leadership of Pastor J.T Aboyeji. He is a passionate teacher of the Word and a caring Pastor. His hobbies are Praying, Study of the Word and Christian novels.
