Abstract
ONE OF THE BASIC TEACHINGS OF EVANGELICAL MOVEMENTS WAS THE DOCTRINE ON MISSION WORK. BY MISSION WORK WE UNDERSTAND THE SPREADING OF CHRISTIAN TEACHING TO PAGAN PEOPLES. OUT OF ALL THE EVANGELICAL MOVEMENTS, THE PURITAN, PIETIST AND MORAVIAN COMMUNITIES, WHICH WERE BORN IN ENGLAND AND BOHEMIA, WERE THE FIRST TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO PUT INTO PRACTICE THE TEACHING ON MISSIONS. THE PRESE NT WORK AIMS TO PRESENT CHRONOLOGICALLY THE EARLIEST HISTORICAL DATA PRESERVED TO THIS DAY, WHICH TELL US ABOUT THE FIRST EVANGELICAL MISSIONARIES, ABOUT THE FIRST AREAS THEY HEADED TOWARDS AND THEIR PIONEERING WORK THERE.
