Footballer who survived Colombian plane tragedy was reading Bible passage about being safe 'in the shadow of your wings' before crash it emerges as his book is found

A footballer who survived the Colombian plane tragedy was reading a Bible passage about 'being safe in the shadow of your wings' before the crash.

The bible, belonging to Chapecoense centre back Helio Neto, was found at the scene of the crash and has been handed to the footballer's wife.

His wife said Neto, who is still fighting for his life in hospital, is deeply religious and takes the religious scripture with him everywhere.


A bookmark had been inserted next to Psalm 63, which talks about being safe in the shadow of God's wings and about thinking of God in bed.

In detail it says: 'On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night; Because you have been my help; Then I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
'My soul follows you closely; Your right hand upholds me.'

Video footage shows journalist Roberto Cabrini at the scene of the wreckage and noticing the book, with a note inside saying it belongs to the defender, who is in a critical condition.
The reporter can be seen visibly shaking as he realises what it is.

He reads with a shaky voice the name that is printed on the inside of the cover, as behind him we can see the wreckage of the crash.

Mangled parts of the plane can be seen in the background and Cabrini is later seen taking the bible to the wife of Neto, who smiles as she realises what she is being given.

Neto's condition has been described as 'delicate' by doctors who said they regularly have to 'stabilise' him as he has a 'serious pulmonary infection.'
His wife, Simone, said Neto has a lot of faith in God and takes the bible with him on all his trips.
Simone had previously told how her husband had told her on the morning of the flight that he had had a dream it had crashed.

As she received the book, Simone said: 'It's the first thing he takes when he travels, and here are his annotations, I'm very grateful to have it back.'
Neto has so far undergone extensive surgery on his lungs, skull, knees and wrists.

His family say they hope he will make a full recovery.
A total of 71 people lost their lives when the British-made Avro RJ85 aircraft came down en route to Medellin, where Brazilian side Chapecoense were due to play in the Copa Sudamericana final.

God be praised

wish him quick recovery in Jesus name.Amen

I pray he makes it.His life is a testament.

Ancient words,ever true....changing me and changing you...

How about the others that died? They didn't have faith in God?

And majority of the passengers that died were reading what? The Koran, the bhagavad gita or tipitaka?
So he was the only true Christian in the plane and that was why Jesus saved him?

God is awesome

Either this is just a coincidence,
or God loved this man so much that He allowed him to be seriously injured in a plane crash and barely escape with his life.

Miraculous Coincidence.



Please remove this "1" in my moniker nah. I use UFO beg you.

This is not a Testimony... Plss don't insult the lives lost by implying they don't deserve to be saved.

Even when all hope was lost u brought lazarus back after 4 days pls in ur infinite mercy pls restore him in CHRIST JESUS name

And what about other four guys that didn't die in the crash, were they also reading the Bible?
How about the 70+ that died, would they not have died had they been reading the Bible? Are you saying they really deserved to die in such a horrible way for not reading the Bible?
Are you guys implying that reading the Bible might prevent one from dying in an accident?

Lying to the grace of Jesus is allowed.

shoro ni yen.

THE POWER OF COINCIDENCE IS REAL.

DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH:
Jasheb 25: 7.
7. But I tell you the truth, they shall not have cure, except for some who shall be saved by the power of coincidence. Now whenever anyone of them is about to be cured by the wave of coincidence, I shall lead them to my sanctuary and they shall be cured there. Now know this, Jasheb, for every cure of the homos, the power of coincidence operates like once in their lifetime. Maybe two or three sometimes. But with such few occurrences they shall praise my name and give glory to my name.

But as a matter of fact, this news is fake, coming to public views by the making of the deceptive apologists. This is the real truth which was on ground immediately after the crash:

:
"Many passengers got up from their seats and started yelling," Mr Tumiri told local reporters in the hospital near Medellin where the survivors are being treated. "I put the bag between my legs and went into brace position as recommended."

This is a lie. His doctors say that there's a possibility he'll play again.

hahahhaaha..play again?

sarcasm of the century

dominique:

Sorry, the Christian God only saves those reading the bible at the point of accident. Others not reading the Bible are not qualified for the miracle, they can all go burn in hades.

krattoss:
am sorry to say this but u are the foolish one here.. u are relying on motivational, inspirational words of the doctor so his family and loved ones could have hope for real..

guess u don't even know what plane crash looks like..

show me a picture of the survivor and I will tell u when next he will play a match

Guy you dull oo. People on that same plane survived with just cuts and bruises. You dey quarrel with google ni. Or is your position that people do not survive plane crashes? Receive sense ASAP!

dominique:
How about the others that died? They didn't have faith in God?

U for go ask them

Are you pained?

U r the only one lying here.
After making countless assumptions.

Power of the Holy Ghost eh?

I swear Christians do too much sometimes!!

But hey I still pray my rosary and I get divined favours.

Hmmmm

God is great.

Here we go again

So the other guys that survived read their bibles to survive yea??

This story is false because one of the crew member that survived stated that all the players left their seats in panic when it was obvious the plane will crash

lord help me...i dont even read bible

Come again please
