Pentecostalism
McGee describes the first twenty years of Pentecostal missions as mostly 'chaotic in operation'. Reports filtering back to the West to ***garnish*** newsletters would be full of optimistic and triumphalistic accounts of how many people were converted, healed and had received Spirit baptism, seldom mentioning any difficulties encountered or the inevitable blunders made.

hacer creer / adornar
Creo que la segunda opción sería como para mantener la metáfora... pero la idea es que se trata de hacer creer que todo está OK, cuando no es así.
