While Brazil sees a surge of COVID-19 cases one group of people loudly declared in unison, from the safety of their balconies, that Jesus still lives.

Missionary Cynthia Isaak posted a video of people singing the hymn 'Because He Lives' in Brazil's capital, Brasília.

She says that in Portuguese the words of the well-known hymn are slightly different: "Because He lives, I can believe in tomorrow. Because He lives, there is no fear. Because I truly know- I know that my life is in the hands of my Jesus who is alive!"

On March 20, the same day that Isaak shared the video, Brazil saw 283 new confirmed cases. Brazil how has 1,960 confirmed cases, with two recoveries and 34 deaths.
