Pmu Interlife

Swedish Pentecostal churches have been working with social development in Sweden and internationally since the beginning of the 20th century. The Swedish Pentecostal Movement has around 84,000 members at 477 local churches, making it one of Sweden’s largest popular movements. In 1965 the Pentecostal churches founded PMU to manage international development efforts funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). PMU is now part of the Pentecostal Alliance of Independent Churches (Pingst ffs), which consists of a national and an international section (Pingst Nationellt / Pingst Internationellt). Within the international section, in addition to PMU, there are other entities with responsibility for areas such as church work, theological training and communications. PMU is solely responsible for social development work and humanitarian assistance.
