Abstract
"Pentecostal1 Christianity is growing rapidly in India as in many parts of the world. Stanley Burgess observes that Indian Pentecostalism is the fifth largest sector of Global Charismatic Christianity.2 Pentecostals are present in almost every part of India, including northwest region, where the Christian population is comparatively low. In Rajasthan, the largest state in India, the Christian message has had little impact. According to the 2001 government census of India, Rajasthan has a population of 56.51 million, but less than one percent is Christian. However, Pentecostalism is the fastest growing Christian movement in Rajasthan."
