In the first part of this dissertation I investigate whether the Pentecostal Churches in
South Africa has a reductionist understanding of crucial missiological issues. Issues such
as the definition of mission, motivation for missions, the role of the Holy Spirit in
mission, mission as a quest for social justice, mission as anti-racism, mission as a quest
for gender equality and mission as inter-religious encounter. In the second part of the
dissertation I present a more contextual approach to these missiological issues,
challenging the Pentecostal churches to move: towards the formation of a more relevant
missiology. l finally present the 'cycle of missionary praxis' or 'the Pastoral cycle' as a
tool that can be used to formulate a contextual missiology / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th.
