Roots and Branches: A History of the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Brazil
Roots and Branches: The History of the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Brazil dates back to 1894 when A.B. Simpson sent missionaries to Jaú, Sáo Paulo. The effort failed and closed in 1903. Then, in 1922-23, a team went to Belém do Pará. From there, two men sailed to Rio de Janeiro, then by rail to Sáo Paulo and overland to the Araguala River. They bought a canoe, hired a crew and paddled to Bananal Island to establish a station. however, the attempt was aborted. At last, in 1959, Missionary Mutsuko Ninomiya was sent by the Japan Alliance. Others soon followed from the U.S. and Canada. God sent planters from Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Chile and China. The seed rooted and produced good fruit. Roots and branches from Brazil have spread to Japan, Russia, India, Portugal, and the Amazon. Good seed produces good fruit for God's glory.
