ALBUM DESCRIPTION

What/who is Bola De Neve?

In July of 2005, Christafari toured the beautiful country of Brazil and visited a church unlike any other that they had ever seen before. The church is called "Bola De Neve," which is Portuguese for "Snowball". For those who haven't heard, there is a massive revival going on right now in Brazil and Bola De Neve is right in the center of it. It is popularly known as the "Surf" church by everyone in Brazil, as the pastor uses a surfboard as the top of his pulpit and many in the youthful congregation are into extreme sports. You won't see depictions of saints in colorful stained glass inside this building. In their place you will find images of barreling waves. The dress code is extremely casual and the music is unbelievable. Bola De Neve's headquarters is in Sao Paulo, where each of their 6 weekly services is packed with almost 3,000 youths hungry for a relevant message from the Word of God. This organization is growing in leaps and bounds as they have now planted 12 other churches throughout Brazil.
