Brief History of Côte d’Ivoire
Ivory Coast or Côte d’Ivoire (officially, the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire), is a country located on the south coast of West Africa. It became a French colony in 1893, eventually achieving independence in 1960. Côte d’Ivoire has a population of over 23 million people. Yamoussoukro is one of the two political capitals and administrative capital of Côte d’Ivoire and an autonomous district of the country, while the other capital of the country is the much larger Abidjan, which has 20% of the country’s population.

The official language of the republic is French, with local indigenous languages also being widely used. The country has large populations of Muslims, Christians (primarily Roman Catholics), and various indigenous religions. 

CIYWR in Côte d’Ivoire
Côte d’Ivoire is one of CIYWR’s five main countries of outreach in west Africa. As with our other Revival outreaches, we purposely work with local pastors and religious leaders well in advance of our Crusades, during the Revivals, and afterwards. We have found this partnership to be the most effective in winning souls for Christ and making solid disciples of the new converts. Because of its proximity to other work we do in west Africa, we try to be very strategic with our efforts and our resources (both financially and with our time).

“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Acts 2: 38,39

CIYWR’s service work in Côte d’Ivoire includes Hospital Visits, and local Church Growth and Outreach.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James 2: 20,24
