Chapter three analyses specifically what the NPL think about their role and social presence in society. Social programmes are also analyzed as they are an integral parte of their evangelistic mission.\u000AChapter four presents the Neo-Pentecostal pastors\u2019 thoughts about their understanding of the social role and presence of their membership. In the Neo-Pentecostal context the word of the pastor plays a key role in the formation of the faithful. He is not only the pastor but he also brings the voice of God which many often accept to the letter.\u000AChapter five discusses the social role and presence of the LNP in the context of society in general. It shows how they reflect and involve themselves in daily life in social concerns in the different spheres of life. The researcher found new forms of thinking and participating in some social issues that threw new light on the nature of the laity in these churches.\u000AFinally, the conclusions discuss the objectives accomplished and discoveries most relevant from the study and plant some considerations for future investigations. An analysis of the profile of the NPCs within the general Protestant context and in the light of the socio-political context of Guatemala since 1950 will now be carried out.\u000A41\u000A
