Abstract: Although the term mission has not been used, within the Pentecostal movement in Romania, the work of preaching the Gospel has been a primary concern of all believers. It was the ministry of simple believers, done through direct witnessing in specific contexts, that became an opportunity to witness. However, the difficult context in which Pentecostalism was born in Romania hindered the institutional development of the Christian community, but not its numerical growth. This led to chain reactions from the country's traditional churches, as well as from the authorities who were building their own kingdom. As a result, we aim to highlight the main historical, social, and religious conditions that marked the course of the Pentecostal mission in inter-war Romania and how they influenced the missionary trajectory of the Christian community.
