ORIGINS
Free Methodist work in Ivory Coast was formally opened in May 2014. Pastor Bertin Tae, leader of the church, began working with Free Methodists while he was a refugee in Liberia from 2012 to 2013. Returning to his homeland in 2013, Pastor Tae resumed working with 15 pastors serving nine churches and several fellowships. Many Ivorians are still recovering from significant losses suffered during the civil war that erupted following 2010 elections.
