I’m Francisco José Ramalho, born in the city of Conceição in Mauriti in Queimadas. I went to live in Conceição in Paraíba at the age of five, I started my first years of school with teacher Dona Júlia; I was an altar boy for the late Father José de Souza Neto at the main church in the city of Conceição. Being expelled from the Catholic church by my father starting an activity in the evangelical church of that city, for that reason we had to leave the city going to Sobradinho in the interior of Bahia for the construction of the Sobradinho Dam. Then we went to Salvador, capital of Bahia. In 1977 I went to a city called Feira de Santana when I returned to Salvador and I was affected by a car accident in the city of Amélia Rodrigues where I was in a coma at the Getúlio Vargas help point in Salvador for 23 days without speaking, without hearing, without feeling. Through the prayers of my mother heroine, late mother Josefa Alves Ramalho, who lived in Sobradinho, praying every day, God delivered me from that terrible accident and I opened my eyes again after 23 days in a coma. I am a miracle of God! Then I was not an evangelical Christian, only my mother belonged to the Lord who prayed every day for the whole family, my father possibly taken by the sect he embraced did not take into account my anguish. My mother suffered and prayed all the time for me and the other members of the family, all unaware of the living God. They fed me serum, injections, operated on my collarbone and other parts affected by the terrible accident, I was discharged and continued the treatment at home. Today, I am grateful for the prayers of my dear mother Josefa Alves Ramalho and I accepted Jesus Christ in my heart in an open-air service in 1980 in the city of Simões Filho. And then the burning flame running through my veins so that I could be an artist, I was invited by cousin Elba Ramalho to go to Rio de Janeiro, I entered the artistic environment there. Not continuing, I returned to Salvador in Bahia and there I had the privilege of meeting Bishop Átila Brandão de Oliveira, who at the time was not even an official pastor recognized by the convention of the State of Bahia. He invited me to go to the seminary in 1987 and I automatically entered the seminary that used to be the Instituto Bíblico Batista Nordeste do Brasil in Feira de Santana, now the Baptist Seminary Nordeste do Brasil, I studied five years internally, after my graduation, I got married and had two children: Tamires Ramalho (in memory) and Francisco Jose Ramalho Júnior currently living in Portugal. I was widowed in 2005, my mother passed away in 2008 and my father later. In 2011 my brother and sister-in-law were already living in the United States, and I had the opportunity to come to the United States arriving in 2011 . I got married in 2012 to Miss Gladys Ayala, where I still live today. In 2012, I created the Ramalho Linda Family Group project with the aim of meeting, interacting and fraternizing every 2 years. We are going to the 4th meeting that will be held in November in Rio Grande do Norte Brazil, soon United States and Portugal. Here I restarted the socio-cultural, radio and missionary Missão Criança project and also continued and accompanied my socio-cultural artistic musical work. I am a Psychopedagogue by profession in Brazil, Pastor and student of the English course with Professor Daniel. I am the author and composer of several songs that are now on social networks and digital platforms. We work with the independent socio-cultural, radio and musical ministry tvradioatlanta.com and Redefjr.com for the glory of God. I thank God for being in the United States of America , I thank God for having that specific gift from above , the artistic gift , thank you so much my God ! Here I have been developing my talent, my socio-cultural ministerial calling. May God continually be in my life and in my family , guiding , blessing
