Igreja Internacional da Graça de Deus

Stepping inside the Igreja Internacional da Graça de Deus is like entering a world of faith and media intertwined. This church, founded in 1980 by Romildo Ribeiro Soares, also known as Missionary R.R. Soares, right here in Rio de Janeiro, has a fascinating history. Originally starting on Rua Alfredo Dolabela Portela, the Igreja Internacional da Graça de Deus quickly outgrew its first location. It later moved to Rua Lauro Neiva in Duque de Caxias. From these humble beginnings, the Igreja Internacional da Graça de Deus blossomed, spreading throughout Brazil and beyond. The church now boasts over 2,000 temples worldwide, a testament to its growth and influence. Missionary R.R. Soares’ vision extended beyond the traditional church setting. He embraced media as a powerful tool for evangelism. R.R. Soares became a prominent figure on Brazilian television, achieving an impressive 100 hours of airtime per week. His program, “Show da Fé,” airing since 2003, continues to reach a vast audience. The Igreja Internacional da Graça de Deus also has its own radio station, Nossa Rádio, further amplifying its message. Even film became a medium for the church’s message. Graça Filmes, founded in 2010, started as a distributor of evangelical films and soon transitioned into production, further solidifying the Igreja Internacional da Graça de Deus’s presence in the media landscape. From a small gathering in Rio de Janeiro to a global presence, the Igreja Internacional da Graça de Deus’s story is a captivating blend of faith and media.
