Evangelist Jorge Raschke, 82, was released from a hospital in the San Juan metropolitan area and sent home after a traffic accident in which his car fell from the multi-level parking garage of the Altavista II condominium on Road 177 in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. The reverend apparently came out unharmed and without major complications. In a Facebook message, Raschke said the incident could have been fatal and that he was grateful God kept him safe and allowed him to stay alive.
It was meant to kill me, but I am alive
"God is good and God saved my life. [...] It was meant to kill me, but I am alive," said the evangelist, known for the Clamor A Dios event. He added that losing the car is nothing, that what matters is the body and above all the soul, and that he never feared death.
Accompanied by one of his daughters, Kimmey Raschke, and his wife Belén Álvarez, he said he was eager to go home and regretted not having enjoyed a Japanese meal he was carrying when the incident occurred. "I am alive by a miracle," he said, adding that he is strong, that tests were being completed, and that he has not lost his faith.
