Brazil church in grief over death of members in plane crash.

       
The Global Foursquare Church community is grieving the deaths of eight members who were killed in a charter plane crash in Columbia.  Authorities are searching for clues as to why the plane went down shortly before it was set to land in Medillin Monday night.  The crash killed all but six of the 77 people on board, including almost the entire soccer team from Chapecoense in southern Brazil. "Several of our local Foursquare leaders from Chapeco were on the plane and at least eight Foursquare members were among the casualties," Glen Burris, president of the Global Foursquare Church, wrote in a Facebook post. “Many are aware that a charter plane went down in Columbia, carrying a soccer team from the area of Chapeco, Brazil. We are deeply saddened that there was considerable loss of life, of over 70 people. We have received additional news that several of our local Foursquare leaders from Chapeco were on the plane and at least 8 Foursquare members were among the casualties. Praying for all of Brazil, including the church in Chapeco, which is grieving immensely. May the God of comfort strengthen and sustain them. We are sending our condolences to Foursquare President Mario Oliviera on behalf of the U.S. and Global Foursquare Church family. Thank you for praying for Brazil,” he said
