Renê Terra Nova, an evangelical pastor, has been stuck in Dubai since February 28 due to the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. He is one of approximately 30 individuals from Amazonas, part of the movement known as 'Legendários', who are currently awaiting their return to Brazil after traveling to participate in the 'Top Dubai' expedition. With their planned return disrupted on March 1 due to the suspension of airport operations, Terra Nova shares that dealing with the longing for his family has been one of his main challenges during this time.

The trip to Dubai aimed to bring together members of the 'Legendários' movement from around the world for a desert expedition. However, the escalation of conflicts in the region has affected their ability to return home. Terra Nova remains optimistic and maintains daily communication with his wife, which alleviates some of his anxiety about being away from his family and congregation. His sentiments reflect a broader emotional struggle faced by those in similar situations during geopolitical crises.

As they await news of when they might return, Terra Nova's hope encapsulates the feelings of many who find themselves separated from loved ones due to unforeseen circumstances. The situation underscores the impacts of international conflict on ordinary lives, particularly for those like Terra Nova, who are deeply rooted in their community and family, emphasizing how geopolitical issues extend far beyond the realm of politics and can affect the lives of individuals and families across the globe.
