The editor of the Christian Research Newsletter is Ron Rhodes. Brazil is a vast land covering some 3.2 million square miles. Some people have said Brazil is the largest Roman Catholic country in the world, but that is not true. We have about 80 million people involved in witchcraft and spiritism. Moreover, Brazil is being ravaged by the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Mormons, the Unification Church, the Rosicrucians, and Japanese cults.
Brazil is a mystical country, virtually obsessed with the supernatural.
I have labored in several other countries around the world, but I know of no other country so hungry for the supernatural as Brazil is. Maybe that's one reason the cults are growing so rapidly there. I must confess that I myself have been affected by spiritism. I grew up as a Roman Catholic. As a youngster I served as an altar boy at the church.
