As the "ministerio" structure overlaps many territorial boundaries, there usually is no much organizational collaboration among "ministérios". Virtually, each "ministério" operates independently, and end up becoming an independent denomination on itself. Among the major "ministérios" stands the Assembly of God Bethlehem Ministry, which has about 2,200 churches concentrated in the south-central and headquartered in Belenzinho neighborhood in São Paulo. In 2008, Ministério do Belém was chaired by Pr José Wellington Bezerra da Costa, who succeeded Pr. Cicero Canuto de Lima, who also chaired the CGADB.
