Pastor Sérgio Carvinho was about 16 minutes into his sermon when he dropped to his knees to recite a passionate passage.

However, the 47-year-old quickly fell silent and failed to get to his feet again.

Pastor Carvinho collapsed and died at the God Is Love Pentecostal Church in Caxias do Sul, southern Brazil, on May 31.

He was invited to the church as a guest speaker.

A nurse and a nursing student in the congregation provided first aid until an ambulance arrived, as reported by NeedToKnow.

The student, who wished to remain anonymous, told local media, “We did our part to save his life.

“Everything seemed normal while he was preaching. He was telling a story about his father, and I think he got very emotional.

“We don’t know if he had an underlying heart issue or not.

“Tests will confirm whether he had a heart attack or something similar.”

She added, “We were very excited because we were waiting for him to come to our hometown.

“He was a very humble person who preached the truth.”

His late father was also a pastor.

A church spokesperson said, “Pastor Sérgio Carvinho was an instrument of God on this earth, bringing comfort, hope and love through the Word.”

“His voice, which so often filled this place with songs of worship, now joins the heavenly choir.”

“We will miss the sound of his voice, his prayers, his teachings, and the praise that flowed from his soul.”

Pastor Sérgio Carvinho served as an instrument of divine purpose on earth, spreading comfort, hope, and love through Scripture and worship. His voice, which frequently resonated with hymns of praise in this place, now harmonizes with the celestial choir. We will dearly miss his voice, his prayers, his teachings, and the worship that flowed sincerely from his heart.

According to witnesses, in the moments before his passing, Pastor Carvinho was in prayer, kneeling at the front of the church, a position he had often assumed, as reported by Diário Independente.

It was a quiet, familiar gesture that marked the end of a life spent preaching the Gospel.

Numerous congregations of the Pentecostal Church God is Love located in Santa Catarina, such as those in Criciúma, Bombinhas, and Ratones in Florianópolis, paid homage to the pastor, according to a report by Metropoles.

“Pastor Sérgio Carvinho was an instrument of God on this earth, bringing consolation, hope and love through the Word and praise,” one note said.

“His voice, which so often filled this place with songs of worship, now joins the heavenly choir.

“We will miss the sound of his voice, his prayers, his teachings and the praise that sprouted from his soul,”

Pastor Carvinho was one half of the Christian sertanejo duo Rogério Marques and Serginho, known for their faith-based music.

The duo released their album Rapture in September 2021.

Pastor Carvinho was married and the owner of a decorative store in Turvo.

He was laid to rest at the Rodeio da Areia Cemetery in his hometown of Turvo on Monday morning.

The authorities have yet to confirm the exact cause of his death.
