about
Ivory Coast, also known as Côte d'Ivoire, is a West African country along the Gulf of Guinea, historically a French colony; Ivory Coast was the most prosperous country in West Africa in the 1970s. The subsequent economic recession was caused by government corruption, unrest and civil war.
In 2014, Rev. Clement, the lead pastor of ROLCC in Togo, received a vision from God, and he started a church planting project in Ivory Coast. In 2015, Rev. Franck was sent from Togo to the Ivory Coast several times to prepare for church planting in Abidjan, the largest city in Ivory Coast, and opened the first meeting point in the same year. Rev. Franck once served as a missionary at EHC in Togo. In 2001, he responded to God’s call to join ROLCC as the assistant pastor of ROLCC Benin, and for more than a decade from 2004 to 2015 he served at ROLCC in Togo.
Since entering Ivory Coast in 2015, Rev. Franck has dedicated himself to ministry in evangelism and teaching, today ROLCC in Ivory Coast has three meeting places, with Sunday worship every week. After more than two years of the global pandemic, they continued to spread the gospel and the truth in an environment where the beliefs and teachings were very chaotic. With the guidance of God, the numbers of people in the three meeting places of the church continue to increase. Pastor Jean Luc Agbon assumed the role of national director in 2024 and has grown the ministry and the church rapidly. 2026, we are working with Ivory Coast in building their first church building, hallelujah! Praise God that the project has completed smoothly, and now River of Life in Ivory Coast has entered into a new season of experiencing the glory of God! Praise God! The dedication ceremony of our church building was very successful, with Rev. Tong Liu’s attendance and blessings. Pray that the glory of God will fill the place daily, and lives will be drawn to Christ.

象牙海岸，又名科特迪瓦，是幾內亞灣沿岸的西非國家，歷史上曾經是法國殖民地；在上世紀七十年代，象牙海岸是西非經濟最繁榮的國家，隨後由於政府的腐敗、動亂和內戰導致經濟衰退。
2014年，多哥生命河靈糧堂的主任牧師Clement牧師從神領受異象，開始了在象牙海岸植堂的計畫。2015年差派Franck牧師多次從多哥進入象牙海岸，在象牙海岸最大的城市Abidjan預備植堂的工作，並於同年開設了第一個聚會點。Franck牧師曾經在多哥萬國逐家佈道團服事，2001年回應神的呼召加入生命河靈糧堂大家庭，曾任貝南生命河靈糧堂助理牧師，其後從2004到2015的十多年間，一直服事於多哥生命河靈糧堂。
自2015年進入Ivory Coast以來，Franck牧師一直致力於福音傳播和教導事工。如今，科特迪瓦生命河靈糧堂有三個聚會場所，每週日都有主日崇拜。在全球疫情肆虐兩年多後，他們依然在信仰和教義混亂的環境中堅持傳播福音和真理。在神的帶領下，教會三個聚會場所的人數持續增加。 2024年，讓 Jean Luc Agbon 牧師擔任國家主任，並迅速發展了教會的事工和規模。 2026年，我們與ROLCC in Ivory Coast攜手建造他們的第一座教堂，哈利路亞！感謝神，計畫順利完成，ROLCC in Ivory Coast 也因此進入了經歷神榮耀的新階段！讚美神！我們教會的奉獻儀式非常成功，劉牧師也出席並祝福了我們。願神的榮耀每日充滿這地方，願更多人歸向基督。

We are also planning to open a new cell group with the vision of establishing a church in a peripheral area of the capital. Pray with us that unreached souls in these areas may be touched by the power of the Gospel as we go out into the field for our evangelism program.
