Good News From The Ivory Coast!

The Assemblies of God of Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) with but thirty churches in 1970, now reports without hesitation one million constituents. Pastor Adama Ouedraogo, a man not given to exaggeration told us that, in the Abidjan area, there are now 45 churches, 1 of which counts more than 5,000 members, 3 more than 3,000 members, 5 more than 2,000, and 10 more than 1,000. The Côte d’Ivoire Assemblies of God has clearly moved into a mode of “exponential growth!” A recent council, at which (General Superintendent) Tom Trask was the guest speaker, was attended by approximately 25,000 people. Blessing, anointing, extraordinary worship, and healing .... marked the meetings each day from morning to evening. People ran by the hundreds to the center of the Bouake soccer field to respond to the altar calls. Worth it? Oh, yes!
