Jair Bolsonaro: “Brazil belongs to Christianity”

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro attended a huge Christian worship event in Brazil called "The Send" on February 8, 2020. He addressed the crowd declaring that he "believes in Jesus as his savior" and affirming that "Brazil belongs to God".

 

The Send is a campaign to activate every believer into a lifestyle of Christ-like action. Major ministries have come together for the celebration, praying and believing that the world will turn to Jesus Christ. The event in Brazil took place at the Brasilia National Stadium in the presence of over 140,000 worshippers. Often referred to as the ‘Trump of the Tropics”, Bolsonaro calls himself a “God-fearing man”.

On his first official day as the country’s 38th president, Bolsonaro promised to put an emphasis on Christian principles as a top priority in his administration. Bolsonaro’s motto is: “Brazil above everything, God above all.”

A few weeks before Brazil’s presidential elections, Bolsonaro was the target of a stabbing. This assassination attempt could have been fatal to him. He says it is a miracle that he’s alive today. The attack became a turning point in his campaign as the populist candidate went on to win, promising to tackle Brazil’s rampant corruption and violence after taking office in 2019.
