Pray For
- The Rev. Maho Goussien Olivier and his leadership of churches and church plants
- God’s continued provision of resources to build a headquarters for the church
- God’s provision of land for individual churches to establish church buildings
- Sekala and Laure (missionary couple) as they make disciples and develop the Daloa church plant
PRESENT MINISTRIES
In 2017 Maho Olivier became the national leader. In 2022, a national couple graduated from the Wesley Missionary Institute. As missionaries, they are actively involved in a new church plant in Daloa. In August 2023, the church became a mission district. Even through difficult times, God is faithfully providing for the needs of the FMC in the Ivory Coast.
ORIGINS
Free Methodist work in Ivory Coast was formally opened in May 2014. An Ivorian pastor began working with Free Methodists while he was a refugee in Liberia from 2012 to 2013. Returning to his homeland in 2013, he resumed working with several pastors and fellowships. The work is expanding outward from Guiglo in the northwest.
