Abstract

Pentecostal missiology has not only demonstrated its unique potential to contribute to the broader missiology of the Christian church but also shown its negative effects; it requires, therefore, a close theological examination of its motivation and practices. Pentecostal mission is presented as an image of three concentric ripples: evangelization, holistic mission, and justice mission. These three expressions of Pentecostal mission are motivated by a shared theological orientation: historically, evangelization was the first and primary development, followed by holistic mission offering a helping hand to those who are suffering. Only recently, justice mission is being explored as a theological agenda for Pentecostal missiology to address roots of suffering.
