MIBAI - Ministério Batista Ágape Internacional

MIBAI, short for Ministério Batista Ágape Internacional, is a Christian music group that formed in the early 2000s at the Ágape International Baptist Church in Rio de Janeiro. The band was led by pastor Paulo Cesar Baruk, who wrote many of their songs including 'Maravilhoso Conselheiro,' a ballad that became particularly well-known among their listeners.

They released their first album 'Deus Sabe Tudo' in 2004, which helped establish their presence in Brazilian Christian music. The group has continued to record and perform, maintaining a focus on worship music that connects with church communities while occasionally drawing discussion about how contemporary styles fit within that tradition.

Their lineup has included Baruk on vocals and guitar along with other musicians like Rogério Leitão, Eliane Silva, and Fábio Almeida. The music tends to be straightforward in its devotional purpose, with songs that work in both congregational settings and personal listening.
