The Pentecostal Church has suffered greatly from persecution. The Pro-Russian separatists killed four Christians out of the Church «Transfiguration of God» and captured the church building «Good News».

The article shows the transition from work ethics to the ethics of selfless service. The social service and volunteer activities of the Pentecostals from Slavyansk during the war is explained on the basis of the selfless service ethic. The article discusses the three periods of the social service of the Pentecostals after the liberation of Slavyansk.
