Prophet TB Joshua has invited to Lagos, the bereaved families of the South African victims of the fatal church building collapse for a trip of "spiritual and emotional support."
A guest house for foreign visitors of the church, located in the Synagogue premises collapsed on September 12 killing 116 people- including 81 South Africans. The remains of 74 of the victims were repatriated home two months later and 11 more remained behind awaiting DNA identification.
"The prophet has invited the families of the deceased to come and spend time out there at the Synagogue with other church members for Christmas and very importantly, the end of the year candle light services. The purpose is to spend time with the families. As we know the families are going through a difficult time, this is part of the process the church is undergoing" said TB Joshua's spokesman, Nematandani.
44 of the 74 families have taken up the offer for the all-expenses-paid, week-long trip starting on Christmas day. The rest are unable to travel because of lack of travel documents or prior commitments.
