According to Hillsong Church senior pastor Brian Houston, the inauguration of the church in Brazil will be a major breakthrough. The pastor also pointed out that the Portuguese language, spoken in Brazil, is one of the most important in the world and it is a great achievement to open the Hillsong church in the city that is the heart of Latin America.[4][5]
Chris and Lucy Mendez are pastors responsible for opening the church in the two largest cities in South America, Hillsong Buenos Aires and Hillsong São Paulo.[6][7][8][9]
