The headquarters is located in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Its leader is Mamadou Karambiri.

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]

In 2020, a 12,000-seat temple, the Church of the Nations/Bethel Israel Tabernacle, was inaugurated in Ouagadougou and the association had 600 churches worldwide.[9]

Beliefs

The association has a charismatic confession of faith.[10]
