A day after their daughter’s death, her parents, called for “global prayer” to resurrect her.
Olive Alayne Heiligenthal (2) died early December 14 in northern California.
She stopped breathing in her sleep and was declared dead at a hospital.
Her parents, Andrew and Kalley Heiligenthal, found support from their congregation at Bethel Redding mega church.
Daily Mail reports that the devout Christian couple had hoped that their dead, two-year-old daughter could be resurrected through faith and prayer.
They called for prayers but have now decided to move forward with funeral arrangements.
The day after Olive’s death, her mother wrote a heartbreaking post on Instagram, calling for “bold, unified prayers from the global church to stand with us in belief that He will raise this little girl back to life”.
But a Bethel Redding church spokesperson said in a statement Friday: “Over the past week, the Bethel Church community, both local and global, has come together at the request of Andrew and Kalley Heiligenthal to pray for (Olive’s) resurrection.
“At this time, the family has chosen to move towards a memorial service for Olive,” the statement read, noting that the family is “incredibly thankful for the prayers and support that the community has shown as they and thousands of people have been believing for a miracle.”
