I am particularly interested in the pentecostal groups like Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC); Swedish Free Mission Pentecostals (SFM); Pentecostal Evangelistic Fellowship of Africa (PEFA) and Elim Pentecostals.

Thanks again David. I have the fourth of the sources listed. I'll keep probing elsewhere.
Sahlberg, Carl-Erik. From Krapf to Rugambwa: A Church History of Tanzania. Nairobi, Kenya: Evangel Pub. House, 1986.
Wright, Marcia. German Missions in Tanganyika, 1891-1941: Lutherans and Moravians in the Southern Highlands. Oxford,: Clarendon Press, 1971.
Mahali, Faustin. "Becoming the church in Tanzania." Lutheran Forum 43, no. 1 (March 1, 2009): 47-53.
NB: Unfortunately, these resources might not cover Pentecostal churches but they can help you.
Thank you Grecious. Sahlberg, I have. The other two, not yet. :) Thanks for the pointers.
Today I got access to the Cadbury Special Collection of the archives of the Church Missionary Society at the University of Birmingham. An excellent if rather detailed and extensive resource. The catalogue is available online here: http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/facilities/cadbury/search.aspx
You might also look at Elizabeth Isichei, A History of Christianity in Africa (Eerdmans, 1993) and Kwame Bediako, Christianity in Africa (Orbis, 1996).
