Evangelical fervor

Has anyone had experience of seeing the effect of radical American Evangelical on remote populations?

I lived and worked in The Republic of Nauru people would sing for many hours and be whipped into a trance like state Easter was truly scary as they flagelated some of the congregation and had a mock crucifixion. I lived a few hundred yards from one of the churches... I then found out that this new fervor had amplified since the arrival of American Evangilists ... interested to hear your experiences.
