The Bishop Franciléia declared: “I want to thank and ask you not to give up because like we arose for the work of God, you arose for people`s protection and help and you never refused in favor people indeed. Soldiers are hurt and killed many times, but you never gave up because you belong to Christ, prepared for the battle. We will always be praying for all of you in the name of Jesus.” It was also made posthumous tribute to the police officer Márcio Greik da Silva, a civil police officer who was killed by outlaws during his work defending the citizenship and peace, among evangelic people, received by his widow, Milena Greick and the award of the Citizen of Peace to the Bishop Marcos, leader of the Geração Jovem Mundial (Worldwide Young Generation). “For many years, I served the military forces in Africa and the world with my wife.
