John of God in Brazil  (João de Deus)

Welcome to John Of God's Biography

João Teixeira de Faria, or João de Deus, as he is affectionately called in Brazil, is undoubtedly one of the most gifted and powerful spiritual healing mediums working in the world today. In the 50+ years since he started his mission, it is estimated that he has healed hundreds of thousands of people. Seemingly, no disease is outside of his spectrum, not even those that conventional medical science holds to be incurable. He has healed people with aids, cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, chronic arthritis, Parkinson’s and so on. His work has been scientifically documented by a number of medical teams from universities in different countries. These studies have produced fully documented cases that report miraculous healing from aids, cancer, multiple sclerosis and other so-called terminal diseases.

Although medical science cannot as yet explain what is happening, there is no drought of researchers that come on a regular basis to observe the mysterious operations that are performed at the Casa de Dom Inácio. Why is it that no infections occur during the operations, despite the presence of hundreds of other sick people? And why is there so little blood when he is performing surgery apparently even without anaesthesia, on people that remain fully conscious during the procedure?

Watching these operations over time, one is forced to adopt a radically different paradigm of healing; one that not only encompasses the body, but also the soul. The healing modality employed at the Casa is actually one that is relatively widely adopted in Brazil. João is one of the many spirit mediums that dispense healing in many spiritualist centres all over Brazil.

Although the Casa is a non-religious, non-denominational organization and welcomes people from all beliefs, the guiding philosophy of the Casa is spiritualism à la Allan Kardec. Within spiritualism, spiritual healing is understood to be accomplished by advanced souls who continue their good works even on the other side of death. Their healing is the result of a soul collaboration on the part of the entities and the patient, with the entities lending themselves as vehicles for the grace of God to assist the healing soul to return to God and the path designated for this lifetime.

João’s Healing Mission

João started his healing mission at the early age of sixteen. An unruly youth, he drifted from job to job, barely hanging on and frequently expelled because of his notoriously bad temper. One day, while trying his hand at becoming a tailor, he was characteristically thrown out by the master tailor at noon after having started the job at seven that morning. Exhausted and hungry, he stopped at a stream where he met a beautiful woman who engaged him in conversation. Only later did he realize this woman was Santa Rita de Cassia, the patron saint of Brazil.

At the end of this conversation, he was told to go to the Redemptor Spiritual Centre in Camp Grande where people would be waiting for him. He went and upon arrival was promptly welcomed into the centre, as she had predicted. He then fainted and upon waking up was told by the congregation that the spirit of King Solomon had entered him and he had healed many people. He protested saying that his fainting was surely due to his hunger and exhaustion, whereupon the elder of the centre took him to his home and fed him. Despite his protestations, the many witnesses to the event eventually managed to persuade João that it was indeed him who had incorporated King Solomon and healed the people. Thus, his mission as a healing medium started. As João soon found out, his mission did not make for an easy life. Wherever he healed the people he was persecuted by medical professionals and religious clergy who felt threatened by his work. He was often beaten up and persecuted by the police and was forced to travel from town to town to avoid incarceration. Eventually, however, he was directed by the entities to set up a centre in Abadiânia, a town that in the person of mayor Hamilton found a willing leader to protect João and the Casa. It was here that his mission grew from its humble origins to one that would eventually encompass the entire world.

Apart from his centre in Abadiânia, medium João travels to different centres in Brazil especially set up to cater to the local Brazilian population. These centres were established in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul and Espirito Santo after the economic crisis in 2000 made it clear that many Brazilians could no longer afford to travel. Apart from travels within Brazil, medium João has also travelled to Bolivia, USA, Argentina, Portugal, Germany, New Zealand and Peru, in the latter of which he has been invited five times. In Peru, it was necessary to hire a sports stadium to accommodate the large crowds. During fifteen days, over twenty thousand people were helped, including the President of Peru, Alberto Fujimori and his son. Medium João was awarded a Medal of Honour for his work. Similarly, his last visit to Germany in 2005 drew more than fourteen thousand people coming for healing and inspiration.
