Pastor Thiago Goncalves, Th. M. – BIOGRAPHY

Pastor Thiago Gonçalves, Th.M., is the President and Founder of All Nations Soccer Ministries (ANS Ministries), a non-profit organization with a focus on evangelism through the outlet of soccer. He works alongside his wife, Stephanie Gonçalves M.Ed., who serves as Vice President to the organization. Their ministry incorporates various leadership representatives among the nations including USA, South America, West Africa, East Africa, Central America, and Asia.

“Thiago Goncalves was born in Brazil, found his way to the United States at the age of 17 through the great game of soccer. It wasn’t until college that he received Jesus Christ as his Savior. While in college he participated in several local and international mission trips. Upon graduating with a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science from Bryan College, TN., Thiago began a Master’s degree program in Theology with an emphasis in Cross Cultural Missions at Southwestern Assemblies of God University, TX from where he graduated with academic honors in 2010. Thiago holds a minister’s license with the AG – USA. Thiago has lived in Brazil, Hawaii, Georgia, Tennessee, and currently in Texas. He speaks and writes fluently in three languages, Portuguese, English and Spanish. Before pursuing soccer, Thiago was a competitive swimmer, having competed in major tournaments like Brazil national championship and Hawaii State tournament. Has been married to Stephanie Gonçalves for ten years, has two daughters a son and a dog” (ANSMinistries.org).

He also has a Deliverance Course, known as the “Spiritual Authority Seminary,” which is a class containing a series of twelve lessons within the first level.

“When it comes to the ministry of deliverance I started it about 15 years ago. We’ve had some really incredible experiences. I went with ‘Jesus knowledge’ of casting devils out,” shared Pastor Thiago as he spoke at the Spiritual Authority Seminary Session held June 18, 2025.

“We have come across many people who have been blessed by this ministry. Many people are today serving in ministry [with] this same course in their churches.”

It is important to know that this teaching is not a preaching session, but instead a class that equips and empowers church leaders and the church on a whole. This course trains the Body of Christ to exercise their God-given authority through the ministry of deliverance. He believes that understanding the practical knowledge of how to operate through the ministry of deliverance is highly necessary in the world we live in today.

“It’s a very underrated ministry within the church in the United States, but very much needed,” Pastor Thiago shares. “Especially in the world we live in today with the things are going in society. The church needs to be equipped and prepared for serving people in that area.”

They also have a training seminary for this class administered as a conference within various churches across the nations such as Brazil, Nigeria, Tanzania, Peru, USA, and more. This conference spans a timeframe of two days.

“We have amazing results when people really commit to it,” Pastor Thiago confidently stated. “People are getting equipped.”

ANS Ministries also includes Hope Tours, which includes nations such as Israel, Angola, Zambia, Brazil, South Africa, Peru, Hong Kong, Guatemala, Nepal, India, Nigeria, and the list goes on.

ANS Ministries has impacted countless lives and ministries all over the world. With the help of God, and a great team to support the vision, communities and nations are being changed. Most importantly, Pastor Thiago makes sure to give all the glory back to God. He understands his calling, and he is thankful to know that God’s hand has kept ANS Ministries.

“I am an evangelist by calling. My passion is missions all over the world within over 35 countries. By God’s grace we keep going.”
