The Pentecostal Movement is making wider spiritual and social impacts among the
ordinary people of North India for the last few decades rescuing many from their dismal
situations. However, its history and the extent of growth have not been documented or
systematically analysed. Here, an effort is made to dig out some of the exciting stories
of people and events exploring in particular its social and theological impact which have
been unknown and forgotten until now. It is anticipated that this effort will enable the
North Indian Pentecostal Movement to delve deep into its history and theology and cherish
the future generations with a balanced interpretation of the movement.
