Iranilson did not have an easy relationship with his family “Because, of many fights and addictions, my parents separated when I was 10-years -old this saddened me a lot. Then, I was hoping they would get back together, but my mother met someone else and wanted to get married again.”

He says that behavior only made the situation worse: “It only brought me pain and sadness. I felt pain and did not even try to know what it was. I had a very deep depression and did not even want to leave the house anymore. It took two months until I remembered my mother.” So, Iranilson reconnected with her.
She continues by saying, “A little later, I asked if I could spend the holidays with her. She said yes, but on one condition. I go with her wherever she goes, even in a church. I agreed right away.”
Iranilson’s New Year’s Eve and his mother were at the Universal Church. There, the change took place. I started attending the services and left the hatred and addictions behind. I decided to give my life to the Lord Jesus.
Something great happened, I was baptized in water and received the Holy Spirit. Then, realized how much time I had wasted. A very important conversation happened with my mother and I asked her for forgiveness for everything. There was no more psychological or physical pain. We developed a strong union, a great friendship, the true maternal bond.”
