Valdemiro Santiago (born November 2, 1963 in Palma, Minas Gerais, Brazil) is a Brazilian evangelical pastor and leader of the World Church of the Power of God. Graduated from the Order of Evangelical Theologians from Latin America, he has been an evangelical minister for more than 30 years.[1]

Santiago was allegedly expelled from the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG). Santiago claims he left the church on his own free will, after some misunderstandings with Bishop Edir Macedo, leader of the UCKG[2]

Santiago founded the World Church of the Power of God soon after he left the UCKG. In a short period of time, the church already had temples full of members in all Brazilian States, 10 of them only in the Rio de Janeiro state.[2]

According to "Isto é" magazine (see the Wikipedia entry in Portuguese) the Apostle has not had formal education beyond 4th grade, primary school.

According to a publication made on Forbes magazine, his total net worth is estimated at $220 million.[3]
