New Year’s Day Celebration was bittersweet as citizens from around the world learned of the senseless attack that occurred on Bourbon Street after Midnight. Instead of joining Team Jesus Christ, the perpetrator joined Team Isis, intentionally rented a pickup truck- a Ford F-150, and deliberately ran into innocent individuals walking down Bourbon Street in New Orleans, purposely & premeditately killing 14 and injuring others. Good Samaritan Matthew Tenedorio ran towards the chaos and died from a gunshot. As families prepare for funeral arrangements and consoling the bereaved, please keep the following Angels in your prayers.

Per CNN, “Jacqueline Kennedy told WDSU she’d talked to her brother before the attack.“He told me he was on Bourbon Street, and we wished each other a happy new year. We told each other we loved each other,” she told WDSU. “I said, ‘Terry, be careful out there,’ and he said, ‘You know me, I’m going to be alright.”
“Terry was one of nine siblings and loved the city of New Orleans, WDSU reported.
He was the life of the party, she said.
“He had his own way, being comical, you know, but he was so loving and kind. You could get him to do anything. I’m going to miss my brother,” his sister said.”
