Kaká, whose full name is Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, was born Brasilia, Brazil and grew up there and in São Paulo, Brazil.
To say Kaká is religious would be a grave understatement. His life revolves around God and Jesus and spreading the “good word.” I mean, he’s said his favorite book is the Bible and his favorite music is gospel.
Kaká is an incredibly devout Evangelical Christian who inserts his faith into nearly every interaction with the public.


Lucimar Ferreira da Silva (born 8 May 1978), commonly known as Lúcio, is a Brazilian footballer who has played for various clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich (where he won one German Cup and three Bundesliga titles), Inter Milan (won the 2010 Champions League against his former club Bayern Munich), Juventus, Sao Paulo, Palmeiras and presently for FC Goa ( of the Indian Super League) 
With Brazil, Lúcio has accumulated a number of significant accomplishments, winning the 2002 World Cup, 2005 Confederations Cup and 2009 Confederations Cup.

“I believe that God has kept me on the Brazilian national team and has kept me involved in great competitions,” says Lúcio, who captained Brazil to victory in the 2009 Confederations Cup over the U.S., scoring the winning goal. “I have personally heard people say many times, ‘You are happy and joyful because you have money and you play for a big club, or for the national team or because of good living conditions.’ I think these are totally untrue. I believe that the fact I play for a great club, play on the national team, the fact I have a wife and family who support me just shows me that I need God all the more because of the demands of the club, the national team, and the attention I need to give to my wife and children. This is where we need God the most because He gives us great talents and opportunities, but with them come great responsibilities.
“If I only had soccer, fame, or titles, but didn’t have God, I wouldn’t be happy. I believe that in order to be happy, you have to be right with God. You have to be searching after God and walking with Him.”

What a fantastic advert for the gospel.
