"The first missionaries to Brazil were connected with William Durham’s church in Chicago (who had been baptised in the Spirit at Azusa Street), but they were separate from the US movement and looked to Sweden for their main support. However, although these western missionaries are usually given the credit for the foundation of these large denominations, their rapid growth was mainly due to the efforts of the mostly now unknown national workers."1
