This study comes out of the interest in analyzing the contribution of missionary Ana Wollerman to the growth of the Baptist denomination in the south of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, during the period of 1948 to 1978. The religious and autobiographical memory of the missionary presents experiences with the holy that delineate the phases and times of her biography and that decisively influenced in the ministerial approach which she adopted. The interviews with some of the people that participated in the existing affective communities and the records in the acts that were read support to a large extent the information collected by memory. Ana Wollerman, the daughter of German immigrants in the U.S.A., achieved her undergraduate degree in Arts and her graduate degree in Religious Education. She came to Brazil initially as a missionary without any financial support from a mission board, established a number of primary schools, worked towards the establishment of a number of churches and dedicated much of her efforts towards ministerial teaching. She was responsible for the financial aid of dozens of young people studying at the Baptist seminaries located in Curitiba, PR, at IBER, RJ and at the Seminário do Sul, RJ. She also contributed by directing large financial gifts towards the construction of the Seminário Teológico Batista in Dourados. This study seeks to follow a methodology that is still in development as refers to the religious memory and employs the theories of Maurice Halbwachs as a reference for the presentation of the individual memories and the construction of the collective memory, as well the study finds support in Halbwachs for working with the literature regarding the formation of affective communities. Along with these concerns this study presents itself as a first historiographical treatment of the Baptist denomination in Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, bringing together aspects of both its or igin and development. The rescue and revitalization of the memory of the subject-object in question, who is still alive, constitutes as well a recognition that the academy can offer to the people and communities that dedicate themselves to the construction of a better world.(AU)
