The present work aims to analyze the beginning of the trajectory of missionary and educator Ana Wollerman in Amambai - MS between the years 1947 to 1954, since this was the period that she has worked in this city at the beginning of her missionary activities, before moving on to other places giving continuity to her mission to evangelize by opening schools and the training of leaders. Therefore there shall be made assumptions verified in their context, and of familiar and religious memory formation. Also the verification of the model of evangelization for the education of Baptists, in the practices of Ana Wollerman in Amambai, and its importance in the construction of cultural practices of the Baptist School and representations of their profile in dealing with students, teachers and others of the amambai society. As for the methodology it is assumed on the procedures of Certeau´s (2011) "historiographical operation” to analyze and problematize the autobiographical reports of Ana Wollerman produced and transcribed by Nogueira´s (2003) research. However, it also uses Oral History for the production and analysis of unpublished reports of teachers and students who were involved in Ana Wollerman in Amambai. In dialog with Elias was used some Cultural History theorists of which are: Chartier, Pesavento and Certeau, to understand the cultural practices of Ana Wollerman that has come up to the present time by means of interpreted representations of the subjectivity of the interviewed subjects . These, in comparison with the autobiographical memory of Ana Wollerman, and other written documents, plus, the bibliography of support, help understand and rebuild the beginning of the trajectory of Ana Wollerman in Brazil.
