UNION of EVANGELIQUE CHURCHES

SERVICES and WORKS
of Ivory Coast

Country:
Ivory Coast is a West Africa country with a surface of 322 462 Km², limited to the south by the Atlantic Ocean, north by Burkina Faso and Mali, to the east by Ghana, the west by Liberia and Guinea. Country with agricultural vocation, Ivory Coast draws its richness from the ground. It account 14 million inhabitants. Abidjan, the economic capital, counts 3 million inhabitants. On the religious level, Ivory Coast is divided between Christianity, Islam and the animism. Christianity mobilizes approximately 40 % of the population. The dominant Christian religions are Catholicism, the methodists, the évangéliques ones: Baptists, assemblies of God, etc.

Union of the Churches Evangéliques Services and Oeuvres:
These Protestant said evangelic Churches were born from a work of evangelization achieved by the Biblical Mission, in Ivory Coast since 1927. The Union of the Churches Evangéliques Services and Oeuvres includes/understands 14 areas, with autonomous assemblies, divided on all the own territory. These 12 areas manage more than 1000 places of worship, gathering 70 000 faithful. 132 pastors bring teaching to faithful and the 24 000 baptized.

Works of the UEESO:
One understands by work, any establishment or any other formation created or asset by the Union, or whose management is entrusted to him and who has at least two of the four following goals:
a. to spread the Word of God,
B to contribute to the spiritual growth of the Christians,
C to support materially or financially Union or Churches in their missions,
D. to contribute to the social wellbeing of the Christians and the populations.

Doctrinal base:
The Churches of the UEESO adopted the confession of faith of the Churches Baptists of French language

1. The Biblical ant Theologic Institute of Man :
Founded in 1957, the Biblical Institute of Man is with the service of the Church for the training of the servants and maidservants of God. It is a work of the UEESO-Cl on which it entirely depends. But there remains open and receives students (be) external with the UEESO. It is located at Man (ZLANWOPLEU). The Institute with a capacity of reception of more than 30 students. The courses are spread out over 3 years. These students are framed by professors of the Ivory Coast members of the UEESO and teachers missionaries the access to the IB of man is opened to any committed Christian who has the vocation to serve God full-time. But the entry is subjected to the financial constraints due to the increase in the cost of living in Ivory Coast. For an unmarried student, the school fees rise to 375 000 F.CFA and for the married students, these expenses are of 530 000 F.CFA. So that certain local churches do not manage to honour the school fees of their students and the latter give up their schooling as from the 2nd quarter. This situation worsens because of the financial weight reserved for the local churches and areas for the training of their students sent to the IB of Man in more of the allowances of the servants of God employed full-time. These costs are thus increasingly heavy to support by the churches of the Union.

2. The pouponnière:
The purpose of this work for the babies in difficulty is founded since 1947 in Man. It is of: a. to have a testimony of love, B to emphasize the life. It takes care and education to these children during a few years before turning over in their family. The pouponnière is recognized officially by the Ministry in charge of the social affairs.

The college has a manpower of 1000 pupils registered regularly of 6th with the final one. We make a point of thanking, for this college, the Biblical Mission which sent teaching co-operators to us who also work in finances and which enabled us to ensure a good management.
