History

In 1985, Mamadou Karambiri, general manager in a company, started a prayer group with his family which reached 500 people in 1987. [1] The church was founded in 1987 in Ouagadougou. [2] [3]

In the 1990s, nearly 60 churches were planted in Ouagadougou and in different cities of the country. [4] Churches have also been established in other cities abroad.

On November 2, 1998, the Bible training center, Le Chandelier, located near the CIE premises in Ouagadougou opened its doors. [5] In 2010, the church founded Impact TV. [6] The CIE had 6000 members in 2010. [7] [8]
