History
Assembly of God Janduís (Rio Grande do Norte), one of the oldest state

The Assembly of God came to Brazil through the Swedish missionaries Gunnar Vingren and Daniel Berg, who arrived in Belem, capital of Pará State, on November 19, 1910, from the United States. At first, attended the Baptist Church, a denomination that both belonged in the United States. They brought the doctrine of baptism in the Holy Spirit with glossolalia – speaking in tongues spiritual (strange) – as the initial evidence of the event for fans of the movement. The manifestation of the phenomenon has been occurring in several prayer meetings in the United States (and also separately in other countries), especially those who were led by Charles Fox Parham, but peaked early by one of his chief disciples, one lay black pastor named William Joseph Seymour, the Azusa Street, Los Angeles, in 1906.

The new doctrine brought a lot of difference. While one group joined another rejected. Thus, in two separate meetings, as recorded in the minutes of the meetings, the adherents of Pentecostalism were shut, and June 18, 1911, along with foreign missionaries, founded a new church and adopted the name of the Apostolic Faith Mission, which was already employed by the movement of Los Angeles, but without any administrative link with William Joseph Seymour. Since then, began to meet at the home of Celina de Albuquerque. Later, on January 18, 1918 the new church, at the suggestion of Gunnar Vingren, now called the Assembly of God, because the founding of the Assemblies of God in the United States in 1914, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, but again, without any institutional link between the two churches.

The Assembly of God in Brazil expanded by the state of Para, reached the Amazon, spread to the Northeast, especially among the poorer strata of the population. They came to the South back in 1922 by families of refugees from Pará, which harbored as voluntary instruments to establish the new name wherever they arrived. This year, the church began in Rio de Janeiro, in the district of Saint Kitts and gained momentum with the transfer of Gunnar Vingren of Bethlehem in 1924 to the then capital of the Republic. One of the highlights of the church at that period was the conversion of Paul Leivas Macalão, son of a general, through an outreach brochure. He was the forerunner of the well known Ministry of Madureira, as we shall see.

The Scandinavian influence was strong weight training Brazilian Assembly of God, because of the nationality of its founders, and thanks to the Scandinavian Pentecostal church, especially the Philadelphia Church in Stockholm, which, in addition to as the years keep Gunnar Vingren and Daniel Berg sent other missionaries to support new members in their role to grow the new church. Since 1930, when he held a church council in the city of Natal, the Assembly of God in Brazil now have internal autonomy, and administered exclusively by the resident pastors in Brazil, without losing the fraternal relationship with the church in Sweden. Since 1936 the church began to have more collaboration of the Assemblies of God of the United States of America through the missionaries sent to the country, which involved more directly with the structure of theological denominação.Vale remember the help, our Methodist brothers Swedish .

Can anyone give me the name of the used boat dealership in or around either Hot Springs or Little Rock, Arkansas. I have heard it referred to as the “used boat capital of the world”. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I’m the first of my friends to actually be pregnant and all and they really don’t understand any of it when I try talking to them about it. And, in a way it kind of bugs me. Because I’d like to have somebody around my age that knows what I’m talking about so I could just talk to them and hang with, without all the tense-ness of them not understanding whats going on and all. I have myspace if you would like to add me. And I live in Hot Springs, Arkansas. If that helps any…
