“For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.” - St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) Founder of the Jesuit Order and a John of God channeled entity
Considered by many to be the most prolific healer in the last 2,000 years, João Teixeira de Faria (affectionately nicknamed ‘John of God’) is a humble Brazilian rancher who allows “spirit doctors” to take over his body three times a week to miraculously treat thousands of people who come from all over the world for healing. In his 50+ years of healing service he has treated an estimated 15 million people. At his healing sanctuary in the remote countryside of central Brazil (situated approximately 500 miles inland from Rio de Janeiro) up to 2,000 Brazilian and international tourists a day seek cures for their maladies.

TRAVEL TO JOHN OF GOD John of God never charges for his services and visiting his healing compound is free. However, it is highly recommended that first-timers to John of God go with an official Casa guide who can offer an all-inclusive tour (meals, lodging, local transportation, personal assistance at the Casa, etc.)
