There has been a great deal of talk about the “quiet revival” in the UK, but has it arrived in Australia?

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro made a
surprise visit to The Send, a worship event
in Sao Paulo, saying he ‘believes in Jesus as
his Saviour and that Brazil belongs to God,’

Bolsonaro hasn’t been quiet about his
faith. He considers himself a God-fearing

faith was

his presidential campaign and after he was
nearly killed in an assassination attempt.
