Created to Make an Impact
Faith, Creativity, and Culture Converge in São Paulo
Dear Friend,
Long before a work of art takes its final form, it begins in the imagination—then is wrestled with, refined, and brought to life.
Michelangelo spent four years painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling, creating a vision of Creation that has shaped imaginations for five centuries. Handel composed “Messiah” in just twenty-four days, creating music that continues to proclaim Christ’s story generations later.
But the capacity to create and influence culture was never reserved for a celebrated few. God created each of us with purpose, gifts, and the ability to shape the world around us.
For years, Belóved has witnessed the power of creativity to reveal truth, awaken wonder, and open hearts to God. What began through a community of artists and leaders in Marble Falls, Texas expanded to Seoul, South Korea, where tens of thousands from 37 cultures experienced faith through art.
This November, the journey continues in São Paulo, Brazil.
We are honored to introduce Created in Love (Criados em Amor)—a series of gatherings bringing artists, leaders, and communities together across São Paulo around one simple truth:
Our creativity begins with the One who created us.
Through art, music, film, storytelling, and conversation, Created in Love invites us to encounter God, recognize the gifts He has entrusted to us, cultivate them with excellence, and use them to serve others.
Artists Akiane Kramarik, Sam Ryan, and Billy Jack will join creatives and cultural leaders from Brazil to explore what becomes possible when creativity is rooted in faith, strengthened through community, and offered back to the One who created us.
Created in Love Across São Paulo
One Initiative. Four Gatherings. One Shared Vision.
From intimate gatherings to two of Brazil’s leading faith and culture conferences, Created in Love will cultivate relationships between Brazil and the United States rooted in shared faith, creativity, and purpose, strengthening a collective vision to share faith through art worldwide.
