What a celebration! Approximately 8,000 delegates from the churches filled the sports arena. Choirs sang (about 15 of them), danced and rejoiced. Reports and theater told the story of the first missionaries: Arnold Weston from the USA via Burkina Faso and six Burkinan pastors.
From hard and humble beginnings in the far north, today the Benin Assemblies of God counts 620 churches and 68,000 “adult baptized believers.” If all the children, Sunday attendees, and new converts were added, that number would easily double, triple, and perhaps more! Again and again, the Benin Assemblies of God leaders declared, “We have grown! But now we are to truly grow!”
