The IEM overseas base is located
in the city of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire
(Ivory Coast), in West Africa.
Abidjan is the Administrative and
Commercial Capital. At one time,
Abidjan was considered the “Paris
of West Africa,” but because of the
present political crises, it’s
splendor has been somewhat
tarnished.
It is estimated that there are about
4 to 5 million people in the Abidjan
area, including many refugees
and displaced people from other
parts of the country and Africa.
Abidjan makes a good location for
the IEM base, because of the
International Airport and the Sea
Port. Major Airlines such as Air
France and SN Brussels make
daily and weekly flights in and out
of Abidjan. The Port also makes it
convenient to import crusade
equipment and other necessary
items.
With our presence in Côte d’Ivoire,
we hope to penetrate this French
speaking country, as well as other
Francophone nations of West
Africa. These nations are in
desperate need of evangelism.
There are new generations of
people who have never heard the
life-saving message of Jesus
Christ.
