Amidst the vibrant energy of Rio de Janeiro, lies the Nova Assembléia de Deus. Have you ever wondered how this church, pulsating with life, came to be? Our journey starts not here, but in Belém, in 1910. Two Swedish-American missionaries, Gunnar Vingren and Daniel Berg, disembarked, carrying with them the Pentecostal fire. They joined the local Baptist church but their fervent belief in glossolalia, speaking in tongues, caused a rift. In 1911, a new chapter began. Vingren and Berg, along with those who embraced their Pentecostal beliefs, founded the Assembleia de Deus in Brazil. News of this vibrant faith spread like wildfire. By 1924, the message reached Rio de Janeiro. The Nova Assembléia de Deus wasn’t built in a day. It was the culmination of years of passionate preaching, starting in São Cristóvão with Vingren at the helm. The Assembleia de Deus is more than just a church. It’s a testament to the unwavering faith of those early believers, a beacon of hope in a bustling city. The Nova Assembléia de Deus stands as a testament to this incredible journey of faith. From its humble beginnings to its present-day vibrancy, it continues to touch lives and spread the Pentecostal message throughout Rio de Janeiro.
