Pastor Carlos Parra, of the Adventist Church in the Atacama Region, told Terra TV that the message of the T-shirts is "precious" and that while he knew his church had sent them, the miners kept them as a surprise and wore them. "And (the miners) kept from telling him because it was a surprise."
ReplyDeleteAlberto Segovia, Segovia's brother David, one of the "33", was pleasantly surprised. We did not think they were going out with them, only with green special suits, but when we saw the first miner's shirt; I was surprised" he said.
Segovia believes that the use of the shirt with that message makes it clear that the miners come spiritually renewed from the bottom of the earth. "(David) told me out of here the first thing I would do is go to church and thank God."
The local Adventist church has played a vital role attending and assisting the families of the miners spiritually at “Camp Hope” during the 70 days.
