Deep within the heart of Nova Iguaçu, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro, lies the Sarando a Terra Ferida church. It’s not just a building. It’s a testament to faith, music, and community. The church’s name, meaning “Healing the Wounded Earth,” reflects its mission. Sarando a Terra Ferida seeks to uplift and inspire through music and ministry. The ministry began its journey in 2006. They released their first album with MK Music, fueled by a single desire. They wanted to bless lives with songs born from the heart of their church. Their debut album, “SEJA ADORADO” (Be Adored), resonated deeply with listeners, solidifying their place in Brazil’s gospel music scene. The Sarando a Terra Ferida ministry isn’t confined to the church walls. Their music reaches far beyond, touching hearts across the nation.
In 2007, they released their second album, “O NOVO DE DEUS” (The Newness of God), again with MK Music. This album, produced by renowned musician Rogério Vieira, was recorded live at the church. It featured the entire congregation, creating a powerful and intimate atmosphere. The thirteen tracks reflect the ministry’s growth and their deep connection to their community. The church is led by Pastors João Roberto Barbosa and Márcio Gonçalves. Their music speaks of abundant harvests, even outside of traditional seasons. This message of hope and renewal continues to inspire listeners.
The ministry continued to flourish. Their 2009 album, “TEMPO FAVORÁVEL” (Favorable Time), signified a period of growth and blessings. Rogério Vieira again produced the album. The fourteen tracks continue in the style of congregational praise, with beautiful arrangements and uplifting lyrics. The members of Sarando a Terra Ferida are more than just musicians. They are a close-knit family, supporting each other and their community. Their bond is a testament to their faith and shared purpose. The album’s title, “TEMPO FAVORÁVEL,” came from a prophetic word received by the church. It speaks of a time of God’s favor and supernatural occurrences.
In 2010, they released their fourth album, “CRUCIFICANDO MEU EU” (Crucifying My Self), offering a message of self-reflection and spiritual growth. This album is considered one of their best. It continues to resonate with audiences today. The Sarando a Terra Ferida ministry is more than just a band. They are a beacon of faith and hope. Their music continues to inspire, heal, and bring people together. Their journey from a small church in Nova Iguaçu to national recognition is a testament to the power of faith, community, and the healing power of music.
