This article aims to discuss the processes of religious insertion of Haitians in Manaus (AM) and Porto Velho (RO), and their impacts on the local Protestant field. We start from the hypothesis that religion plays a leading role in negotiating with the local religious field in search of less subordinated forms of cultural and religious insertions in order to establish a more balanced field of power relations. We used both quantitative and qualitative data collected between 2014 and 2015 and between 2019 and 2020, participant observation and open interviews with leaders and members of the surveyed evangelical churches.
