A fast-growing evangelical movement could influence the outcome of today's presidential elections in Brazil.
Socially conservative evangelicals have boosted the popularity of opposition candidate Marina Silva, who is a member of a pentecostal church.
Polls show Silva running a tight race against President Dilma Rousseff, who is seeking re-election.
Evangelicals have grown from a tiny minority three decades ago to almost a fifth of Brazil's electorate today, but that might not be enough to elect a pentecostal president.
The latest polls predict that Silva would lose a runoff vote against the incumbent president.
