The missionary impulse of Evangelicals has been saving souls, but that has changed in the last 40 years. Political, economic and social issues are part of the changing impetus of Evangelical engagement around the world, because of Pentecostal and Charismatic movements. This keynote will address the changes to belief, ideology and practice of Evangelical mission work, to show how Pentecostal and Charismatic movements have changed the impetus of Evangelical fervor and interests throughout the world.
