Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brazil
The first LCMS missionary came to Brazil in 1900 at the request of German immigrants living in Brazil. Seminario Concordia was established in 1903, and in 1904 the Igreja Evangelica Luterana do Brasil (IELB) became a district of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
