Abstract
A critical account of the rapid multiplication of Pentecostal churches in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and of what drives it. Ngwoke examines the economics and the ecclesiology together — church planting as vocation and as enterprise — in a setting where the two are not easily separated. Read alongside the Brazilian literature on the same phenomenon, the parallels are hard to miss.
