João de Deus is most famous for his healing miracles such as pulling people out of wheelchairs (and not leaving them lying on the floor as some people like to joke when I say that!). In the 43 years that the Casa has been running, he has assisted in the cure of thousands of Cancer cases and many cases of AIDS. Miracles do happen at the Casa, I witnessed a few myself. I saw a person come out of a wheelchair when I was there. I was part of the “current” that day, I heard João (in entity) say “vamos andar” (let’s walk), I snuck an eye open, I saw her get up and walk. I heard the shreiks of delight. A friend of mine that I met in Abadiania, said in the 8 months he had been there he had seen about 40 such occurences. So, perhaps, in terms of instant healing miracles João and the entities of the Casa are running at a few a week.

Many had to be wheeled or helped in some way and judging by the languages and accents being spoken some had come from a long way away.

After a short local bus ride out of Brasilia, Monica and I arrived in Gama, a small and simple town full of half built houses and kids playing soccer in the street. This was definitely off the "Gringo Trail"... We ... [Continue reading this entry]

I arrived in Floripa in torrential rain, it was 9 degrees celcius outside, I was alone and didn’t speak the language. Sounds horrible, but I was so excited to be back here that it overshadowed everything. I was ... [Continue reading this entry]

With the dream land safely secured under deposit, it was finally time to go to Brazil. I have been waiting for this moment for many years. I was first in Brazil in 2002 at the end of my ... [Continue reading this entry]
