Marcelo Crivella

While Crivella may not have a shelf full of industry trophies, his impact is measured in other ways. He led the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God's expansion as a bishop, turned a struggling northeastern region into productive farmland through Projeto Nordeste, and won the mayoralty of Brazil's second-largest city. His gospel music has found a dedicated audience, with albums like Confiar resonating with listeners who share his faith.
