Sara Nossa Terra

Emerging from the vibrant tapestry of São Paulo, Sara Nossa Terra beckons. This isn’t just a church; it’s a story woven into the very fabric of Brazil. Founded in 1992 by Robson and Maria Lúcia Rodovalho, Sara Nossa Terra translates to “Our Land’s Promise,” a name inspired by 2 Chronicles 7:14. The verse speaks of God healing the land if His people humble themselves and pray. This powerful message resonated deeply, leading to the church’s remarkable growth. Sara Nossa Terra in São Paulo is one of over a thousand locations across the globe, a testament to its expansive reach. The church began humbly in Brasília. Bishop Rodovalho, having found his faith at 15, began his ministry in the 1970s with Mocidade para Cristo, a Christian youth organization. He later founded the Comunidade Evangélica de Goiânia before establishing Sara Nossa Terra. This church goes beyond traditional services. It embraces a modern, neopentecostal approach. It actively connects with its community through various media outlets. These include the Rede Gênesis de Televisão, broadcasting to millions of homes, and the Sara Brasil FM radio network, present in major cities like São Paulo. They even have their own streaming service, SaraPlay, offering sermons, videos, and films. Beyond its media presence, Sara Nossa Terra is deeply committed to social projects. The “Parceiros de Deus” initiative, launched in 1994, has supported countless families in need. This includes providing vocational training, legal assistance, and even a mobile clinic offering medical and dental care. The church also has a vibrant youth ministry, Arena Jovem, led by Bishops Lucas and Priscila Cunha. They host annual conferences and events, drawing young people from all over Brazil. Sara Nossa Terra is more than just a place of worship. It’s a community, a testament to the power of faith and its potential to transform lives. As you stand before this São Paulo location, you are witnessing a chapter in a global story of faith, community, and outreach.
