In case today’s featured story (an all-Kern fashion shoot on the beach, you know what that means) titwashes your mind, erasing all memories of Brazil’s confederacy of the righteous and pious, here’s some follow-up with those consecrated children who heal on behalf of Jesus…
Alex Silva is one of the mini preachers we talked to in our Brazil Issue about his intimate connection to God. At first he was really fussy about sending us any pictures of him and his enlightening shows, but over time, he started sending us more and more stuff. Tons of stuff, actually. Pictures and invitations to his Jesus parties have been popping up in our inboxes ever since...
He sent us this flyer to one of the parties, where he claims that “God descends onto earth to speak through me.” The preacher events seem to fascinate Alex’s followers and fans as much as modern exorcism. That flyer up there says something about compulsory attendance and that Robson Nascimento will perform a live show. He’s pretty much the Brazilian version of Seal. It happened yesterday, but don't worry, as long as you can spend about a grand on a concert/communion with the Lord, another one's always right around the corner.
Alex in action. I can only hope and pray that God won’t be screaming as loud, if I ever get the chance to meet Him.
That’s his buddy Matheus Moraes, inches away from inflicting permanent damage on his vocal chords.
These are Ana Carolina’s cute first little baby steps in the evangelist business ...
Alex makes tons of money with this DVD. Maybe he could spend it on a new art director--ours would definitely appreciate a little extra money...
Just in case you were wondering, what Ana Carolina Lucena Dias is doing here, she’s actually healing a woman from ... does it really matter what disease you’re healed from if you’re healed by a Bible baby?
One thing we really don't get--isn't it rude to point at God?

I used to work with a wrecking crew of Brazilian day labors who thought I was the devil right hand. One day they were standing around going off on how great God is and I stepped in and started quoting apocryphal scriptures. When I tried teaching them some Hebrew angelic script they got all nervous and refused to work with me anymore.

The real joke is on the adults that pay to see these diaper-wearers. And who didn't tell the little dudes not to wear belts and suspenders at the same time?

i'd like to see child preachers/evangelists from all over the world and not just brazil. they should have a contest to see which kid's voice is more annoying because i wish i could go through the screen and beat the shit out of these kids.
