The World Assemblies of God Fellowship (WAGF) is a global cooperative body of over 170 Pentecostal denominations that was established on August 15, 1989.

WAGF was created to provide structure so that member denominations, which previously related to each other informally, could more easily cooperate on a global basis.

[5][6][7] The organizational committee, in 1988 summarized the purposes for the WAGF:[7] Member denominations are independent and autonomous, but they are united by shared beliefs and history.

[9] A new fellowship emerged from the meeting and was incorporated under the name General Council of the Assemblies of God in the United States of America.

Before 1967, the Assemblies of God USA, along with the majority of other Pentecostal denominations, officially opposed Christian participation in war and considered itself a peace church.

[11] The US Assemblies of God continues to give full doctrinal support to members who are led by religious conscience to pacifism.

Through foreign missionary work and establishing relationships with other Pentecostal churches, the Assemblies of God expanded into a worldwide movement.

The AG believes that the elements that are partaken are symbols which express the sharing of the divine nature of Jesus of Nazareth; a memorial of His suffering and death; and a prophecy of His second coming.

[17] As classical Pentecostals, the Assemblies of God believes all Christians are entitled to and should seek baptism in the Holy Spirit.

In Brazil, the local branch Assembleias de Deus has had an increasing influence on politics throughout the early 21st century.

The Christian fundamentalist party Patriota was in a parliamental coalition with the Bolsonaro government as well as the centre-right Partido Social Cristão, which was then led by two AG pastors, Everaldo Pereira and Marco Feliciano, who were accused in various cases of crime and sexual misconduct.

Everaldo was arrested for his participation in a corruption scheme in the state-owned company of water treatment of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Companhia Estadual de Águas e Esgotos do Rio de Janeiro [pt];[20] Feliciano proved his innocence and that he was a victim of a conspiracy planned by former PSC member Patricia Lelis, who was charged with false reporting and extortion before fleeing to the United States, where she was again charged and arrested for the same crime.

[21][22][23][24][25] Another Brazilian politician and AG member, Marina Silva, pursues ecologist ideas and supports the rights of the indigenous tribes of her country.

Wood attended the National Day of Prayer and praised an executive order allowing ministers and religious organizations to support and advocate for political candidates.
