| Summary: | After setting the nexus between Pentecostalism and development within the "neoliberal turn" which concerned the African continent in the last three dacades, the paper discusses development programs which involve Pentecostal churches and target children and their education. All of them provide extracurricular recreational and educational activities, as well as bible studies. These programmes are often sponsored by transnational agencies that work with Ethiopian churches, such as the Mulu Wengel Church. The paper's focus is on the content of educational work, showing if one can speak of a Pentecostal pedagogy. The work carried out in the churches aims to build a "pentecostal person" as an individual able to cope with uncertainity of the social life. The paper engages with the fundamental question about the relationship between the construction of Pentecostal individuals, through precise pedagogical strategies, and the neoliberal rhetoric of individual empowerment.
