The convergence of linear fractional transformations is an important topic in mathematics. We study the pointwise convergence of p-adic Mobius maps, and classify the possibilities of limits of pointwise convergent sequences of Mobius maps acting on the projective line P-1(C-p), where C-p is the completion of the algebraic closure of Q(p). We show that if the set of pointwise convergence of a sequence of p-adic Mobius maps contains at least three points, the sequence of p-adic Mobius maps either converges to a p-adic Mobius map on the projective line P-1(C-p), or converges to a constant on the set of pointwise convergence with one unique exceptional point. This result generalizes the result of Piranian and Thron (1957) to the non-archimedean settings.
