InfluencesI grew up on Ilha de Mozambique in a mixed context of several cultures and histories, with a rich beautiful nature as a background. I was influenced by the music of many diverse rhythms resulting from the cultures of different peoples who, through centuries, came to this island.

Ilha de Mozambique ('Mozambique Island') is a tiny island, just off the coast of Natala province, which, because of its location, was for centuries, a strategical gate to the backcountry and a way to the Indian Ocean. The island used to be the capital of the country and the most important point of transit and commerce for the Arabs, Persians, Indians, Chinese and Portuguese who, years later, colonized the territory. The country was called Mozambique after the name of a sultan.

Thank you for being friends with "Who Needs God?"

We recently passed the 10,000 friend mark and it feels good to know so many people on MySpace agree we all need God.

Many Blessings!

Hi Gimo Mendes,

How are you doing? I just wanted to send a humble reminder that the national bestselling Christian book, Carnal Striving Spiritual, is available for secure purchase from my Myspace page, which has links to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and my official website.

The already acclaimed book has been critically reviewed as one of the best Christian books of 2009. Dr. Cornel West, America's most prestigious scholar, calls the book "brilliant and with a bold message." Bishop Hilliard, one of the nation's most prominent pastors, says that the book begs the attention of the reader.

Your support is not about me, it's about you and supporting the Kingdom. Thanks.

UNIVERSO

Comparando o Sistema Solar a um átomo, a Terra é um elétron.

Como você se sente sendo um entre zilhões de habitantes de um elétron?

Comparando um átomo ao Sistema Solar, cada elétron é um planeta.

During the struggle against
Overwhelming odds.
