Abraham DeAlmeida is a pastor with three PhDs in theology and is a specialist in the Old Testament, Bible prophecies, divinity, church history, numerology, and typology, with more than thirty-five books written about these topics. He considers it one of his greatest achievements to have been one of the scholars who revised and noted the Brazilian bibles ""Almeida Corrigida"" and ""Almeida Seculo 21,"" and helped to translate the New International Version Bible into Portuguese. Born in 1939 on a humble farm with ten siblings, he remembers owning his first pair of shoes at the age of ten. He developed a love for learning, and at the age of seventeen, he became a communist. His eloquent speeches attracted large crowds, but deep inside he felt empty, and his longing for God only continued to grow. His life changed dramatically one night as he entered a church and dedicated his life to God. Ever since, he has been on a relentless path to knowing God better. The love of his life, Lucia, to whom he was happily married to for fifty-seven years, has recently passed away, although her legacy will be remembered for generations to come. The Sunshine State has become his home, living in Tamarac with his son, Junior.
