Excitement, faith and eager expectation have gripped São Paulo, Brazil, as Pastor Evelyn Joshua, Leader of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), arrived in the country ahead of a two-day crusade scheduled for September 18 and 19, 2026.
Pastor Evelyn Joshua arrived at Guarulhos International Airport at 5 p.m. local time on Monday, September 14, from Lagos, Nigeria, and was received by a delegation comprising community leaders from São Paulo, Osasco and other parts of the greater São Paulo State amid cheers, music and dancing.
Speaking to the media after her arrival, Pastor Evelyn Joshua expressed appreciation for the warm reception, saying the gathering would herald a new wave of revival, healing and deliverance.
“The wind of glory is blowing already. It is going to be an encounter, a new wave of revival, healing and deliverance. The Lord Jesus Christ loves you all. He is concerned about you. He wants to prove Himself again in your life. Keep your faith intact and make yourself available to Him and He will transform your life,” she said.
Preparations for the crusade are at an advanced stage, with thousands of worshippers and visitors from across Brazil, Latin America and beyond expected to converge on the Renascer Arena, Ginásio da Portuguesa, São Paulo, where the programme will begin at noon on both days.
Residents from several cities across São Paulo State, including São Paulo, Osasco, Guarulhos, Campinas, São Bernardo do Campo, Santo André, Sorocaba, Ribeirão Preto, São José dos Campos and São José do Rio Preto, are expected to attend.
Participants are also expected from Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Espírito Santo and Bahia, as well as Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Bolivia and Honduras, with interest also coming from across Africa.
Speaking to Emmanuel TV, Pastor Jonas from Osasco described the crusade as “a big miracle for the nation of Brazil,” expressing confidence in what he called a significant spiritual encounter.
“We have great expectations. São Paulo is anxious to receive the woman of God. We cannot wait. The ministry of Prophet T.B. Joshua and Pastor Evelyn Joshua is so much loved and welcome in this country,” he said.
Another São Paulo-based cleric, Pastor Joshua Eduardo, said participants were expecting “great miracles,” adding that he believed God would move during the weekend gathering.
Pastor Anderson from Rio de Janeiro also expressed confidence that participants would witness miracles, stressing the centrality of faith in Jesus Christ.
According to information published on SCOAN’s official website, Prayer Line registration runs from September 7 to 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday, at Igreja Apostólica Vida Nova, Rua Dr. João Inácio Teixeira, 78, São Paulo-SP.
Attendees seeking prayer through the Prayer Line have been advised to bring their medical reports and any health aids they currently use.
The crusade is centred on spiritual renewal, faith, hope and divine transformation, with SCOAN describing the gathering as an opportunity for worship, prayer and fellowship.
The event also forms part of SCOAN’s evangelical mandate of changing lives, changing nations and changing the world through the Word of God and prayer.
Those unable to travel to Brazil will be able to follow the crusade through live broadcasts on Emmanuel TV and SCOAN’s digital platforms.
