The article deals with the form and method of missionary activity – “soft mission”, which means personal testimony of faith implemented in the conventionally play form at the moment when the mission object is not ready for the preaching, and which is aimed at the object’s intention to think over the information associating it with the specific situation and events. “Soft mission” implies the methodology of “reference”, non-obligatory missionary religious identification, and the absence of the “missionary – object of mission” relations despite the existence of close or situational contact between them. “Soft mission” is the unique form and method of mission, quite new for Russian Orthodox Church but important for both clergy and lay people who are lack of missionary activity possibilities.
